Flick certainly hasn't been and won't be any time soon.
Maybe true, but one can easily argue that Sarri had not done much either
Can’t wait to see the answer to this.
It's Zidane though, he knew the club and was coaching at youth level, similar to Peps appointment.
Won the league with Molde I guess. Relegated Cardiff.
A damn sight more than Pochettino did to land the job then. Same for Arteta and the same for Lampard. If you leave a positive impact on the people who remain after you leave then it gives people something to think about. You can see people who are good managers before they become managers, Solskjaer obviously impressed the right people.
Wonder if they'll hold out for Pep...
Completely different situations for Zidane, Pep, Solskjaer etc. They worked at the club previously, in managerial roles at lower levels and made an impact on someone important. Pochettino has no attachment to Juventus nor has he demonstrated he could handle the job.
Juve operate in a very comfortable surroundings. Winning the serie a is very much given and yet they have never won the CL. They can poach the best talents so nothing special about that. Sarri shouldn't never have been appointed so that was a stupid move by Juve board. Imagine you have CR7 with you and you are wasting that time appointing sarri.
He's won more trophies than Sarri and Poch combined!!
What the feck has Ole got to with this thread. It's like let us turn every thread into a ole bashing thread.
Guardiola: "say no more"
I'm not saying he had, I always believed that Sarri was a short term appointment for Pep to replace him at some point anyway. Get him in, get the players used to playing a disciplined brand of football and make it easy for Pep to replace him with similar/better ideas.
I don't agree at all. They even dominated the game. They were just still Uber sloppy. Should have won 2 nil comfortably with a tad more seriousness. That stems from the manager
You seriously pull trophy argument here while you are at the same time Ole's big defender?
Juventus have won 2 CL/European Cup's
I meant to say in recent years.
Ole's still won more than Pochettino though, and arguably a league is harder to win than a knock out trophy. We all know the Europa league isn't great but for teams like Chelsea and United it's not a real challenge until you get to the semi-final. Perhaps a European trophy means more in Europe? I don't know? I stand by my original statement though, Sarri is and was a stop gap for Pep, which would have been next summer if he hadn't fecked it this year.
I know you did not. We are on the same page.
Surely Sarri is the perfect example of the vacuity of this particular argument?
They clearly bought Ronaldo to win the CL so I don't expect them to be thinking about a rebuild right now. Pochettino might be attractive to an alternative project but if the choice is immediate success and Ronaldo would expect nothing else, then the manager might be Conte or Allegri.
Maybe we should be hiring the recordholder of Norwegian league titles. Anyway i'm happy with Ole atm, but you won't get a neutral who thinks that Ole has a better managerial CV than Poch. Most football fans barely knew that Ole was a manager before he joined us. I love Michael Laudrup too, one my favourite players of all time and a national hero, but the fact that he won the danish league and a league cup with Swansea means nothing to me really. He was actually being seriously considered to manage Barca before Pep got the job though.
Both positives.
He is and I agree, I don't really to subscribe to "what has he ever won?". The same was applied to Klopp until he won something also.
They lost the two last 2 CL finals to two great Real Madrid and Barcelona sides. Not much shame in that really.
Controversially, apart from de ligt, bentancur, ronaldo and dybala i think they are really quite average. Cant see them winning the CL anytime soon and the other serie a teams are gaining on them
If they were really after Pep, why not stick with Sarri for one more year? Doesn't Pep's contract at City run out in 12 months?
Pirlo just signed for them to coach the under-23 team, would be absolute madness to hand him the reigns of the first team with absolutely no prior experience. Besides, I think he's smart enough (certainly not a pirla
) to not take over the team at this stage of transition, he'd do well to wait a year or two and then take over a team refreshed with new recruits.They need a solid rebuild IMO. If he goes there, he’ll be the first manager to lose the title in a decade
