The Next Manager?

[DH1988 1,346]

Which serial winners are available? Not with a historic record, a recent one.

My biggest issues with Poch:

1. It took him awfully lot of time to clear the midfield mess trying to fit Enzo, Caicedo and Gallagher in when it was clear it was not working. And I am not sure whether it would be fixed if Enzo wouldn't end his season early. 

2. We are still bad defensively, and now Silva is gone, Chalo future is uncertain - so our 2 best CBs may be gone. I have 0 faith Poch will fix our defending issues.

3. The way he treated Maatsen - I am not convinced he is good enough for a top PL team, but thing is we will never know because Poch never gave him chance as LB even with Chilwell and Cucu injured.

4. As many people pointed out - our good run in the end was mostly against the team that were not fighting for anything. Even so there were part of the matches when we looked terrible, even Notthingham and Bournemouth were able to dominate us for large portion of game.

In terms of potential you are right, but this season he hasn't impressed at all (yeah I know he played half a season out of position and after getting run at CB he got injured).

I think Chelsea need someone who has already won, not a bet. At this point keep the trainer you already have.

Was thinking the same… honestly had to google if they they meant Kieran or Kevin McKenna lol 

 

Poch is not perfect but replacing him with someone who has 0 top flight experience would be an even  dafter move than downgrading from Tuchel to Potter. 

(However, my nightmare would actually be Todd bringing in Jürgen Klinsmann. Would be completely random but Americans just love him ^^)
 

I don’t really like Poch tbh, too spursy for me. But the players do, apparently. We are not winning anything big next year anyway so hiring someone for short term success at the cost of player development would probably backfire.

A few, actually. Flick, Tuchel, kovac and Allegri have all somewhat recently shown they can do it. Would draw the line at Conte. Not even starting with Löw, Santos, Favre or even Jose. It is probably less about serial winners but also about personal fit. This would make flick more likely cos he is soft spoken and empathetic like Poch, good with young players not as intense as the other 3

yep, I am Polish, and he was terrible as a coach, he looked like he didn't care about the job at all and just came to collect the paycheck.

I always say it: be careful what u wish for. Poch is still the best option considering who the club wants as a possible successor.

So they had one already line up it seems. 

Then it boils down to amorin or de zerbi.

It's not Todd. It's Egbali.

Todd was the mastermind behind experienced signings like Sterling, Koulibaly. Pochettino was appointed by his recommendation.

Eghbali, Wyss & the new sporting directors are behind the youth drive, and the push for younger, more 'energetic' managers who buy into their whole policy of stockpiling youth talent in long-term contracts and raising the clubs value for the future ( when they will ultimately sell)
