At with the old, in with the new… but this cycle is narrower than ever; Xabi Alonso and Thiago Motta appear to be the only ones generating the kind of storm that leads one to believe they could go on to peer the dying embers of the last cycle, but if like is for like, we’re missing several coaches of great potential to grab the baton off those they’re su to replace.
Pep and Klopp as well as Ancelotti are snatching up so much shine because the usual 8-10 that sat at the top table has seriously diminished, thus more attention has to be funnelled and showered on the few.
Why has this happened, and how long will it last? Is there a deluge of elite coaches a couple of years off coming to the boil? Are Xabi and Motte the first of many from the new wave?
