German Football Part III

Next bottom of the table trainer picked up by Dortmund.

No, he is from their system, but it won't happen.

No, he is from their system, but it won't happen.

They pursued him heavily before signing Stöger. When Nagelsmann goes to bayern instead, it should surprise no one if they circle back to Wolf.

Better odds than Nagelsmann, that's for sure. Watzke likes Wolf a lot.

So Klopp, Tuchel Bosz, Stöger; Wolf?
Not gonna happen imo.

Why not? Bosz is the only outlier in that group the rest all came from comparable clubs...at least in terms of where they were at the time those coaches were with them, not in terms of history.

Even if Nagelsmann were BVB's first choice - which he probably is - there's the issue of competition. Not just Bayern, but potentially one of the top EPL jobs. Arsenal, Chelsea, and United all have disgruntled managers, or themselves should be unhappy with their managers. I know you seem to think that Nagelsmann doesn't have enough the experience or reputation for a job like that, but there's enough hype for him in English media to think that one of those clubs would take a shot at him anyway. Especially Arsenal. BVB would probably make more sense for him than any of those clubs but Bayern, but there's much more uncertainty on Nagelsmann's end.

With Wolf, he is probably Watzke's #2 candidate and BVB is easily the best club that would hire him. Do the math and you'll see the odds of BVB hiring him are significantly higher.

BvB is a CL club (at least they are supposed to be) and I'd think they can't afford another failure.
I think they'll go for a established coach. My money would be on Nagelsmann. The best fit .
Nagelsmann to BvB, Tuchel to Bayern (or EPL)

 

[Bon Esprit]

Btw latest rumour is that Antony Modeste will replace Auba at BvB.
BVB und Arsenal wohl bei Aubameyang-Ablöse einig - heißes Gerücht um Modeste

BVB would love to get Nagelsmann, but they've already lost out on him.

Tayfun Korkut takes over VfB Stuttgart. Well, good luck with that.

At this point, I am close to giving up hope for Nagelsmann at Bayern next summer. Our board, Hoeneß for the most part, seem to have zeroed in on convincing Jupp to stay a little longer with no backup plan. If Jupp gives in, I think JN remains a good option for 2019, because I'm but sure Hoffenheim will let him go in the summer. If Jupp doesn't want to, I have no idea what happens, but it seems like Tuchel would be a more realistic best-case scenario than JN right now.

Tayfun Korkut takes over VfB Stuttgart. Well, good luck with that.

I'm out of data at work so I can't do it now, but I mean to post the 11Freunde photo series with twitter reactions to his appointment when I'm back home. Hilarious stuff - unless you're a Stuttgart fan, or into "Galgenhumor"...

Well, I read somewhere Stuttgart fans don't seem to be amused with Korkut's appointment.
At first I liked Korkut at Hannover, but that didn't last ...

 

[Bon Esprit]

Mehmedi from Bayer to WOB it seems.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Bartra leaves and Sokratis stays.

I've given Stoeger the benefit of the doubt so far with the back-line because its been more solid than under Bosz, but his CB choices have been very strange. He completely froze out Bartra.

They have to get rid of Sokratis in the summer, can't let him stay any longer. He's been awful for over a year now. And I still think we need to bring in another CB, now that Bartra left. I would've preferred keeping Bartra, and sticking with Bartra, Toprak, Akanji, Zagadou, but now we have to go out and sign a mobile CB who can pass the ball.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Reus is back anyway.

 

[bluesfan94]

Didn’t Bartra ask to leave because of the bus attack?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Didn’t Bartra ask to leave because of the bus attack?

I think there was some speculation about that, but I didn't see it confirmed.

Why would he? Crap like this can happen everywhere. Betis is a step back for sure.

 

[Vipers31]

One could say that...







A few more in picture form and mostly German language at the aforementioned 11Freunde article.

It's one thing to play for a team where it's a potential risk it's another thing to play for a team where the traumatic experience already happened.

Waiting for SEPH to tell us what's what.

I do respect that. But going to Sevilla won't change a thing.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Hilarious people trying to understand fear and anxiety...

 

[Deficient Mode]

I do respect that. But going to Sevilla won't change a thing.

It's not the threat of dying a horrific death that's the issue at all though. It's the memory.

Anyway, maybe Dortmund's new full-time manager this summer will value him more highly than Stöger does and convince him to stay once his loan is over.
