Poch said loads of times he'll never manage Barca because of his relationship with Espanyol.
I wonder if they will. The spanish clubs are looking a little vulnerablr at the moment compared to the english sides. If an english doesn't win the CL this season it'll be a fluke.
The last big-name manager Barcelona appointed was Van Gaal back in 2002. Their next one will probably be Xavi or someone like that.Impossible to get Pep back. Klopp is happy at Liverpool. Pochettino wouldn't dare manage them. Those managers would elevate their performances, but why would any of them join?
Best bet is Allegri or *gulp* Mourinho to steady the ship.
They are a poorly run club (saddled with debt mind) that has Messi to thank for papering over many cracks. Reality check once he leaves.
My memory might be a bit hazy, but in the first leg it was clear Coutinho was struggling and didn’t fit into the formation. IIRC things changed a bit when Vidal was introduced & at the end, the scoreline flattered Barcelona.
It’ll be stupid & unfair to sack him in his first season & not getting 2nd chance for the champions league.
The writing was on the wall mate.
You don’t fire a manager in his first season after winning the league & cup just because he failed in champions league.
I agree, but it was a weird one. Firstly the manner of the defeat against Roma & secondly, his tactics have just never convinced.
I will do all honestly if the writing was so obvious on the wall. There's no reason to delay the inevitable imo, and it showed last season when the same collapse happened again.
Why did he lose his job?Quique Setien is free now... He plays the so called Barca style but i thing the current team actually is not suited to play this kind of football anymore
Manager deserves 2nd chance to change & improve thing especially when he won the league in his first season.
Exactly what they should do.
is this not his third? he crashed out to roma then the season after that crashed out to liverpool. both teams made huge comebacks
Was referring to his comment that the manager should be sacked after the roma game which is his first season & his first CL exit (not third).
either way of he fks up again he should be sacked. there is no way a team should come back from 3 or 4 goals down
It's not either way.
we he seems kinda poor then. luis enrique appeared to have no problem kinda dominating europe.
He gets worse every season, so it's not outside the realm of possibility.
As usual, he'll be relying on Messi to make him look half decent. As per my edited post what surprises me more is Barcelona being fine with his insipid style of play. Imagine going from Pep to Enrique to this shit. And while spending the enormous sums they do. Then again, they're a pretty poorly run club I think. No real plan to anything they do.
That's a much deeper question. Wherever I go online it's more or less a consensus that he's a fraud and that he should have been kicked out half an hour after the final whistle in Rome.
You definitely can fire him the 2nd season of repeating the same thing though.
Who said that we shouldn’t fire him in his 2nd season?
When last did Barca sack a manager during the season?
