Got to hand it to Pochettino, it's been a long time since I've last watched a team play with this sort of hunger and intensity. Hate to say it, but Spurs are an absolute joy to watch at the moment.

Vain hope I'm afraid

I cant see the manager being decided until the last month of the season. Hopefully, it will follow a long and well thought out decision on who is the best candidate. Atleti are joint top, though they have played two more games. Cant see him deciding whilst in the middle of a title run, he's gonna put everything into drawing out every ounce. Allegri is the same. Only options are Sampaoli who is unemployed or Conte whos an international manager already looking to return to club football. So if a manager is announced before May, you can bet it wont be Simeone or Allegri.

why is that?

Silly season. Nobody really knows who the next manager will be. I think the only time the press got an appointment right was before Ancelotti and Mourinho were announced, but that was suppa easy, in Ancelotti case he released his biography where he talked about how he was studying Chelsea, people from Milan were saying he was going to Chelsea, and in Mourinho's case the man himself was saying he was love by one english club.

Only options if you believe in press rumors.

It's because I read in the Chilean media a week or so ago that Chelsea does not rate him high enough to be the leading candidate, hence he is at the bottom of their wish list. Will only appoint Sampaoli should all the other managers (Simeone, Conte, Allegri etc.) refuse to come here. 

News on him are rather quiet these days, but he is linked with the Marseille job.

Conte, Allegri and Simeone are all great managers.Any of them would be great.

My order of the 4 mentioned would be:

1) Simeone

2) Conte

3) Allegri

4) Sampaoli

Simeone in my opinion would be the only sure thing. He's still a risk as any manager would be, but I feel like we have the kind of squad that would serve as a great base with which to build around. He brings in a few of his type of players and we'll compete for the title next season.

Shocked Pellegrini is not on your list since you were clamoring for attacking football!

Conte is my first choice

Amazing speech from Conte in training.
