The Next Manager?

[Adnane 1,101]

Might not mean much, but the Atletico transfer ban could mean that their squad stays the same over the next year and a half.

Simeone already stated he was really happy in Atletico and now with the ban, I don't see the Colchoneros giving him green lights as an eventual manager would surely require even the slightest change of personnel.

Doesn't change a whole lot in the matter, but just makes me believe more and more that this one might be out of reach this season.

Maybe go for Benitez, I mean looks like we maybe close to signing Pato, we already have Papi and Falcao looks like he's staying.

Good times.

Bring back Kalou for the experience, sell overrated players like Hazard, Matic, give Fabregas the armband and buy a bunch of Barcelona rejects, Bojan, Affelay, Munir...

We might have a go at CL then.

Sacking Mourinho will look even more stupid if we end up without Simeone.

Pellegrini's an asshole but he's not as terrible of a manager as you're all making him out to be. I would be interested seeing what he could do here.

Ya so long as he comes with Navas I'm all for it....

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

I want Cholo! Does he leave Atleti when they're at their lowest though?

Great article about Simeone's tactics:

Where does this popular opinion that Guardiola takes only easy jobs comes from?

Why?

Cos his job at bayern is one of the easiest. everyone can win the league with them.

The same with barcelona.Average manager like Enrique won 5 cups. They have the best players. He was just lucky to get them at their top form.

Look what pep does with bayern in europe... Ridicules.

 

And city? The easiest one in england.

[Adnane 1,101]

This misconception of "easy" jobs is really annoying me tbh. 

If people think Pellegrini has an easier job than, say Toni Pullis, then they really should reconsider all the difference in pressure and expectations in both jobs. 

The teams avoiding relegation (not necessarily West Brom) do have pressure and expectations not to go down, but people don't give them as much stick as they would give to favorites when they don't achieve, and that's quite normal, because no matter how much small teams spend nowadays, the expectations and investement of the title favorites will always be higher, and thus less tolerant to failure. 

What are the two hardest jobs in club football at the moment ? Can anyone argue it's not Barcelona and Real Madrid ? Aka two teams within top 3 budgets in the world and with the best transfer appeal to world class players ? 

And the "Bundesliga is easy" excuse is just as wrong, Guardiola is really good at analyzing teams defensive weaknesses and coming up with out of the box offensive mechanics to break them up, that's why his sides always look this dominant in their leagues ( the only thing i can concede is that he had a supernatural footballer in his Barcelona days, which made it a bit easier as that dude gives his team an incredible aura due to his inevitable danger ).

Latest rumours are that Abramovich wants Ranieri in the summer.

He's a Barcelona man, managed Barca B before being promoted, so that doesn't count. Even then he took them to another level. Bayern is the only real example and it is not enough to make some kind of final judgement on his preferences. In fact he has only managed two clubs in his life, whatever way you look at it it is too small sample size to form any substantial conclusions. The fact he chose Bayern over us makes it sound like sour grapes more than anything.

Heynckes's Bayern >>> Pep's Bayern.

[Spike 12,049]

If anyone thinks any manager could have trumped Real Madrid and Mourinho the way Pep Guardiola did, they are delusional. Guardiola took what Johan Cruyff implemented at Barcelona in the 80s and 90s and brought it to the next level in the modern game. He reaped that amazing youth system like no other manager before him, and cemented the ethos and philosophy Cruyff planted all those years ago. Only another person with the understanding of the club and it's philosophy could have done what he did.

And destroyed all what Heynckes did. embarrassed himself 2 years in a row in europe. really next level.

Simeone took over Atletico Madrid in a bad spell and delieverd the title in two as half years on a remote budget, the 2014 winning team cost just over 30 million, for perspective that's not even half the price of Bale.

If we are going to be a bit stingy in the market and United, City spend like there no tommorow, then Diego is the man.

[milka 3,346]

Diego Simeone is a Mourinho 2 .  Who wanna  ?
We need   young manager with modern tactic , attacking football .
