    I can only see any of those clubs going for him if their current manager fails miserably. Of those, I can only see Tuchel at Bayern as vulnerable at the moment. Bayern have stiff competition this season and coming anything less than first for them is a massive failure.

      The writings on the wall for Ancelloti. The brazil role seems set for him. I can’t imagine him staying any longer.

        I have no interest in Real Madrid so have no idea what’s going on there apart from that Jude Bellingham is doing well and they’re top. Why’s the writing on the wall for Ancelloti? He’s doing a good job isn’t he?

          Yeah but there is no intention for him to be a long term manager. At madrid, manager appointments don’t work as they do anywhere else lol. When he was bought in the plan was to keep him for the season, but we did really well and so he was allowed to complete the 3 year stint but nothing beyond that.
