Managerial Thread - 23/24 Season - Lolverpool

[bluesfan94]

The Hodgson sacking news broke yesterday and he left training ill this morning, if the message becomes "he's stepping aside due to illness" that's them doing him a solid to save face. He's been sacked.

I thought they were both this morning.

I thought they were both this morning.

I am almost certain that I read last night before bed (and not when I woke this morning) that he was being sacked today and replaced with Glasner.

But either way, the sacking was coming. Every story has framed as sacking. Being sick during training and missing a press conference is just poor timing.

Random hire in the Championship as Andre Breitenreiter is the new Huddersfield manager

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

As expected, Klinsmann is sacked.

 

[John Price]

As expected, Klinsmann is sacked.

Never adapted to Korea, never recruited K-League, never wanted to live in Korea and insisted on living in California. His start was kind of iffy but they made it to the Asia Cup semis before the embarrassing loss to Jordan.

Korea was notoriously cheap so I'm surprised they paid the buyout to rid themselves of him. But general consensus in Korea was they were not happy with his work. Gamst was already looking for replacements a few days ago

Impressive resume, losing a title chase with PSG and Bayern.

Gattuso out at Marseille

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

So, sounds like Liverpool might face some competition from Bayern for Alonso.

Gattuso out at Marseille

Well deserved. Should have never been hired in the first place.

From an outside observer (watched a lot of their matches - but followed nothing news wise on them) everything looked so copacetic with him at the matches. Other managers be freaking out and he was always so calm and seemed to have the SK football machine working decent... their pace and pressure was pretty wild in the asian cup. They doomed themselves in the asian cup, didn't look at all like a coaching/managing thing.
Kind of surprised by the news. I always wondered, is he not yelling at his players because he can't speak korean? Does he speak Korean? Was always curious.

Saw some reports say Tuchel is not yet being fired...

I would personally (and selflessly) prefer to see Xabi try out the CL with Leverkusen, but you have to figure he would choose Liverpool over Bayern if it came down to that.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Calzona the new Napoli manager, he is currently the Slovakian national team coach and will remain for the Euros so double duty for him

Why?

 

[maclean]

Why?

Ha, it just makes more sense to me I suppose, perhaps hard to quantify. It's a huge opportunity to continue with a legacy on the "main stage" and build on a strong base. I guess Bayern presents the challenge of pulling the team out of a bit of a coach-killing tailspin, but if he were to stay in the Bundesliga, it makes more sense to me for him to stick with Leverkusen for another season, but I'm just judging off myself I guess. From an Arsenal perspective I'd definitely rather he'd stay in Germany.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Bayern will be all over Alonso.

 

[Power Man]

XA better not go there, Bayern is a shit show right now

Yea, the process of hiring Tuchel set the tone there. Easy to focus on him as the problem, but there are serious problems in that club from top to bottom right now.

 

[cgf]

The perfect end to this story would be if after losing the league to Vizekusen, Tuchel won the CL, forcing the Bayern bosses to offer him a raise to stay and continue burning them to the ground from within

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Have fun with Plettenberg, Liverpool supporters.

 

[maclean]

On the other hand, simply not having Xabi at Leverkusen might be enough for them to rise back to the top.

They picked up Harry Kane. Of course they were going to struggle to win trophies.

The greatest part for the rest of us is that both eventualities are equally hilarious - him not being able to win a trophy even on a super team? Gold. OR, he finally DOES win a trophy by not being on Tottenham - just as great really.
