Dortmund a while back. Bayern didn't win the cup in either of the last 2 seasons or even make the final. . Freiburg got to the final last year too , so it's clearly not the major upset you are making it out to be.

Dortmund won it when I was a cub scout.

They keep saying Nags is the preferred candidate, but the owners seem to like the experience of Enrique who laid out exactly how he would use the young players in a high pressing defense and how he would use them specifically in attacking play. He came really wanting the position right now.

[Special Juan 27,424]

The most talks have been held with JN but nothing face to face until now as Enrique is now in London.

I think it will all come to a head by the end of the weekend and we will know who's taking charge

Yeah, there were reports saying Vivell wants Nagelsmann (as they've worked in a similar RB model setup) but it's understandable that the owners would look at experienced candidates with so many young-ish players in the first team.  

Enrique would be an interesting choice.

I believe that 95% of the managers are sacked because of lousy players and only 5% are incompetent (and Potter more likely than not falls in the 5%).
What do you do when your players are lousy ?
You kick them all out ? Then there will be no match next week and you relegate because you don't have a squad.
You buy an entire new squad ? Has to be the transfer window plus dig a treasure from somewhere.
So throughout human history the manager pays the price.
Therefore with either Enrique or Nagelsman I will be happy, but whoever it is has problems to solve.

I prefer Enrique but I would be happy with Nagelsmann too.

With Nagelsmann, we become a little less consistent in team selections and more direct in how we play.
With Enrique, we will be more consistent in the team selections and a little less direct in how we play.

Both play with high and energetic pressure.

The most important thing of all is that the supporters stand behind whoever gets the honor of leading the team when we stand with two incredibly exciting names head to head.
I am completely convinced that both have the potential to be really successful if they get the right environment around them and support from the stands.

Exciting times!

As someone mentioned why no one signed Enrique after Barcelona

as far as I remember in Roma and Celta he was a disaster under 40 % wins rate ( with both clubs)

Because he took a sabbatical year and then took over Spains NT?

I think I lean towards Enrique. Nagelsmann feels like a German Graham Potter in some ways, could see it working but could also see a lot of the same problems persisting. At least Enrique is a big name with player appeal, and a trophy cabinet behind him.
