Managerial merry go round part II

[HajdukSplit]

Paul Le Guen returns to club management with Bursaspor in Turkey. He's been coaching national teams since 2009, prior to that he managed PSG, Rangers and Lyon

 

[Ceremony]

I'll always have a soft spot for PLG. Anyone complicit in the death of Rangers deserves good fortune.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Pelligrino to Southhampton. Fantastic hire for them.

He'll be a good replacement for Poch at Tottenham when Poch leaves for Barca.

 

[HajdukSplit]

In typical Dinamo Zagreb fashion, they sack their manager, Ivaylo Petev, two days before the season starts and months after giving him a contract extension.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Christian Panucci is the new Albania manager, replacing De Biasi who resigned. Panucci has never managed above Serie B but spent two years as Capello's assistant with Russia

 

[HajdukSplit]

Fatih Terim sacked as Turkey manager, Turkey are still very much alive at a shot at the World Cup but their next two fixtures are crucial and will determine if they have a realistic shot or none at all

 

[HajdukSplit]

Mircea Lucescu is the new Turkey manager, he managed in Turkey before and has NT experience albeit in the 80s

 

[Milos Krasic]

There was a lot of debate about whether Zenit should have fired Lucescu after just 1 season. I would think his age (72) is a factor, but hope he does well with Turkey.

 

[Ceremony]

Steve McClaren has popped up on the shortlist for the now vacant Hearts job: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40849646

I look forward to his attempt at parsing the Edinbronian accent

 

[Live in the Now]

de Boer under pressure already and they're considering giving him the boot during the break.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/aug/27/frank-de-boer-crystal-palace-doubt-poor-start

No idea why they hired a manager to use attacking tactics with such a bad squad, and no idea why anyone would take that job once he goes.

 

[HajdukSplit]

news is a few days old by de Boer was sacked by Palace after four league matches, second club he's been sacked in less than a 100 days and surely his stock has fallen, however Palace don't look good in this either

Croatian manager Romeo Jozak is the new Legia Warsaw manager, its his first managerial job but he has been technical director for the Croatian youth teams and Dinamo Zagreb's academy, if you believe him he turned down jobs for the Irish FA and Arsenal academy in the past

 

[HajdukSplit]

Despite qualifying for the World Cup, Bert van Marwijk is no longer the manager of Saudi Arabia...the reasoning was disagreements over a new contract, the Saudi FA sacked members of his staff and the Saudi FA also wanted van Marwijk to spend more time in the country for the build up to the World Cup (the entire squad plays in Saudi Arabia)

The new manager is Edgardo Bauza, former Argentina boss who was in UAE recently

 

[Stray Wasp]

Good ole 'Arry Redknapp leaves Birmingham City having secured four points from eight games this season.

A nation hoots with laughter.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Andries Jonker is the first manager sacked in the BL (Wolfsburg); replaced by Martin Schmidt who was sacked by Mainz in the summer

Anderlecht sack Rene Weiler

 

[Evilo]

Ancelotti rumored ot be fired.

 

[Vipers31]

Ancelotti rumored ot be fired.

Yeah, numerous sources both from Germany and Italy are reporting it. Seems done. Not so much about yesterday in my opinion, but not exactly unhappy about making the cut quickly. There just didn't seem to be any tactical approach.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Well Bayern hasn't looked good at all under him, especially this season.

Who'd be his replacement though? Don't think Nagelsmann will leave Hoffenheim mid-season.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Tuchel

Actually not Tuchel.

 

[Vipers31]

Well Bayern hasn't looked good at all under him, especially this season.

Who'd be his replacement though? Don't think Nagelsmann will leave Hoffenheim mid-season.

Rumors say exactly what one would guess - Nagelsmann or Tuchel. Not sure Hoffenheim will let him walk at this time of the year, but they do have a history of not playing hardball with Bayern, and maybe they have some kind of agreement with Nagelsmann. I've always liked Tuchel as well, though.

 

[Vipers31]

Barely necessary, but: confirmed out by Bayern. Sagnol to coach Sunday as interim.

International break will leave time to settle succession.

 

[Deficient Mode]

I hope Nagelsmann only leaves at the end of the year. Let Sagnol coach the rest of the season.

I thought Bayern wouldn't go for Tuchel after the endless narrative about his cancerous personality.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I'd very much prefer that Nagelsmann stays in Hoffenheim for now.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Crisis at Bayern?

Love it.

 

[Evilo]

Milan already contacting Carlo...

 

[Evilo]

Bayern should go after Blanc. Doubt they go foreigner however.
