Weird timing, could have waited a few more days at least.
Thomas Tuchel sacked at Christmas
- Thread starter Zoo
- Start date
Today is the day when you meet your family and have dinner together and exchange presents before or after (we do it around 5 pm). That's the case in most European countries I think with the UK being the exception.
Evening of the 24th, doesn't come over night.
Norwegian league is shite but to win it with Molde isn't half bad. I don't count it as a trophy on a CV though especially for a top job.Exactly, like the Ole fanboys when they count the more prestigious Norwegian league as a trophy for Ole.
Christ child is coming on the 24th (no Santa allowed here)
Only if he does badly. Which he may well do, as I’m not sure he can deal with the egos there.
If he does well, his few ultra-vociferous fanboys will be even more insufferable.
A sad product of the manager fanboyism that’s become rife on here ever since Jose became our manager.
that would be a good Xmas present for us all.
That's what I said. The flip side is that even if you do a good job you may not win the CL as it involves a lot of factors. See how many times SAF won it at a big club. Of course you can also not do a great job and end up with the same result.
He'll win that every year of course. It's not worth much, but he probably does need to get some titles under his belt for his career and that's an easy (indeed probably the easiest) place to do it.
After two or three titles there and a decent Champions League run, he can have a go at managing a proper football club.
In Sweden they celebrate xmass eve which is today the 24th.
I feel like it was inevitable the moment Leonardo rejoined PSG
I think it would be a win win situation. If he does badly there then I think that puts to bed any idea of him taking over United. If he does well then they’ll keep him on for a few years.
Quite the opposite, actually.
Poch fans like to talk managerial CVs when it comes to Ole/Poch comparisons.
The Queen will be opening her presents as we speak. Germans celebrate on Christmas Eve.
Why not the the ultimate nightmare for Poch, he doesn't win the league and cl.
PSG fan since the 90s (when PSG was at one point 1st in the UEFA club coefficient ranking over a 5 years period for those saying the PSG has no history before Quatar)
Tuchel was always in conflict with Leonardo and criticized the new recruits. Despite the last windows was great considering the very low budget : kean florenzi rafinha and danilo have all over acheived what we expected from them and were free or almost free
Second conflict was how stubborn playing marquinhos in the midfield and danilo as a defender just to say that leonardo still hasn t given him a defensive midfielder. Both marquinhos and danilo had to say in interview it wasn t their real position before tuchel give up
and last straw was the interview yesterday saying he wasn t appreciated and the management of psg was too political
that being said he was really under appreciated and he had great success with the CL final but he has a negative impact on the team when is too stubborn and want to send a message
So I m team leonardo. All the great players bought at a reasonable price went from leonardo
With the other managers, the only great player bought was when we paid more than anyone else (neymar mbappe) and we can t do that anymore with the FFP asking us every year to sell for 50+ M of players

Good move to pad out his CV, he played for them too don’t forget
On the evening of the 24th.
I'm sure he would be. He'd be perfect for any club not called Liverpool or City.
Surely Poch should manage Argentina and with the hand of god bring them back to glory?
I hope he doesn't come to the Prem. There's something off about him and I get the heebie jeebies every time I listen to him being interviewed.
Agreed
Was thinking the exact same thing. Feels like it's script we've seen before.
The way people hold that "win a trophy" thing over his head is one of the weirdest things for me. As if the guy has ever been in a position/club that's expected to win trophies
I think they did it because they have an opportunity to sign his replacement. Tuchel was on his way out in June, I'm pretty sure this solution is the best for all parties
No not for United, and for many reasons including his inability to work without getting in trouble with the hierarchy.
He is not suitable for United. But might be for Arsenal as you need more a tactical tweak rather than anything else.
Tbh, what contributed to his sacking more than the CL is the constant clashes with his director of football Leonardo. They just never got along
Ah right, how come they didn't get along?
And so it begins...
Poch to PSG
Tuchel to Arsenal
Arteta to our Assistant Manager
Ole out by March, Arteta to replace him

First he wasn't Leonardo's choice. And Tuchel is always complaining about something and generally does it in interviews, it's the same story every transfer windows.
It’s the strangest thing. I keep posting about it and look like his biggest supporter, but it genuinely frustrates me.
He couldn’t have done any better under the restrictions he was under at Spurs. It was a phenomenal job.
He’s a bit like Allegri and Conte then?
Let’s see him at PSG then, hope that clarifies things for everyone?
Same in Poland.
Conte is a good comparison, I never thought about it.
Honestly I have no idea why or when it all started, I suspect Leonardo never liked Tuchel from the go as he was his predecessor's (Antero Henrique) appointment for this job. It truly exploded publicly earlier this season.
There goes Poch. Shame.
Bah! If he becomes genuinely unattainable they’ll become even more insufferable.
My scepticism over Poch is now driven far more by his fanboys being annoying than my objective opinion of his abilities. Which is sad really.
December 23rd is not Christmas.
