Managerial Thread IV

[Havre]

I think you are right. I guess you can argue Rodgers isn't "on the up", but he is still quite young (younger than ten Hag). Potter and ten Hag are managers that most likely will get a shot at a fairly big club within the next couple of years.

 

[Juve]

Zidane is probably between Juventus and the National Team.
My money is on the latter.

We'll see in the coming days. They should sign him at any cost, but they can be cheap bastards.......

Derek Rae reporting that van Bommel will be new Wolfsburg manager as Glasner is leaving (could go to Frankfurt but they are looking at Terzic)

German coaching moves are always head scratching whether it’s moves made mid season, people leaving CL clubs to take mid table jobs and in the recent past taking a 2BL job despite earning promotion

That Spurs job is a tough one to figure out who would want it. It's in the EPL, and it's still a prestige job. But it needs a lot of work.

I think they have to go with someone who's on the up, and can do some overhauling. They're definitely in rebuild and retool mode.

For no particular reason I wondered for a second today if Hasenhuttl would make sense. But doesn't sound like someone who will "test their financial resolve."

Wasn't he linked before Mou took over or am I not remembering right?

Some team should grab Scott Parker.
Fulham actually played some attractive football.

He's not ready for a top side yet.

 

[Havre]

I don't think Parker should rush it, but I'm not sure he isn't ready. The way he kept cool and managed to get his team playing so well even with that start is impressive. Usually it becomes a Allardyce kind of scrap to get points, but Parker never went in that direction. Quite rare if you ask me and I think it tells you something about him.

A bit similar with Potter. Never seem to have gotten stressed even if his team, playing well, just couldn't score.

I wonder if Brighton with Kane would beat Spurs without. Would not be surprised if so had happened.

Glasner doesn't see eye to eye with Wolfsburg's sporting director Jörg Schmadtke. If you don't get on with your boss, you often have no choice but to leave as they'll sack you at the first chance they get.

Well, Brighton without Kane beat Spurs without Kane, so...

 

[Havre]

Yes. The famous one game season. They beat City as well.

 

[Evilo]

Lille are trying to get Blanc to take over their team!!!!!

YES PLEASE !

 

[Power Man]

 

[Evilo]

Or he could use that Nice proposal to up the ante for Lyon's proposal.

 

[Power Man]

Se queda?

 

[Epictetus]

He's not ready for a top side yet.

Doesn't have to be a 'top side' necessarily, but he's PL-worthy.
It could be Brighton or Southampton, if they get poached. Perhaps a team like Palace, Newcastle, or even Wolves.

 

[Juve]

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Glasner to Frankfurt.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Many unreliable sources have Tottenham offering Conte the moon to take over.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Can't see that working out longer term. No thank you.

 

[Aladyyn]

Conte seems like a desperate attempt to convince Kane to stay

 

[Power Man]

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

wow poor inter

 

[TJ21]

The managerial race is wild this season. Plenty of names to go about, will be interesting to see where Conte lands.
