    He promoted Real Sociedad B you know. He has shown incredible flexibility by going in from a fully defensive league to a full offensive league. He has shown he can play 3223,433 and his current 3412 seamlessly. He has studied under Mourinho at his peak, Pep and Ancelotti. He took Leverkusen last season from the end to where they should have been.

    In this season he has shown his flexibility and the ability to switch tactics on the fly and is undefeated everywhere, despite playing both RaBa and Bayern. It is obvious that he would slip in in January and February due to AFCON, but so far there is a lot to be hyped for.

    And well, Zidane dog walked everyone and he barely had any experience with senior sides aside from some experience as assistant manager when he started. Experience doesn’t equal tactical prowess.

    I don’t think you guys have it in you to sack him. And that’s understandable. So Klopp is Liverpool manager until he decides he no longer is

            Years of mediocrity, falling out with sections of the fans for extended periods of time, poor transfers, lack of CL, stagnating methods and staff appointments, couldn’t win a game away from home…it was time to go sadly.

                Did I say we went forward or did I just list some of the reasons why he left (because he wasn’t sacked).

                He went on to work for FIFA on football policies, but as far as coaching is concerned he’s basically retired (not officially but he’s 73 and seems to be enjoying his life so I think coming back out to coach isn’t on his agenda).

    Fucking hell. We are rotating Carlo and Zizou since 2013 like there’s no other manager. I love Zizou and would love to have him back but it’d be a nice change if we get someone else.

    At this point it’s all but confirmed Xabi will be our next manager, right? godspeed, hopefully florentino supports him and sign the players he wants/needs to succeed.

    Alonso is good but he is no Imanol! I really don’t think La Real would change him for any coach in the world

      I didn’t mean it in the way that he would go there, the point was just that RSO is also a former club not mentioned in the article (and contract?) like SD Eibar

    Pep doesn’t rly have a reason to leave City. Only other team where he’d get the same resources is PSG and it’s a shitshow of a club in a much weaker league. Unless he gets bored and goes back to Barca I don’t rly see him leaving. Maybe to Italy if Klopp somehow ends up there or an NT.

    Their improvement last season was due to many factors, not just Alonso. I think he’ll be a good one but let’s just chill. He hasn’t proven much yet.

      This. Bayer had a decent squad for a while now. If anything they had underperformed previous years.
