Honestly an older head like Jose, Conte, even Tuchel is probably better suited than every manager we are linked with at present. Especially for this squad. Never mind tactics, its the personality we need to get right more so than anything else. They would tear strips off of these and boy do they need it.

The fact Madrid are considering Jose isn’t a surprise, given the personalities in that dressing room and how their seasons finishing. Needs to bring a few of them back down to earth, ie Bellingham, Vinicius Jnr, Mbappe.

But isn't he a back 5 (ie 3 CBs) obsessive?

Amorim 2.0

I loved that first (first for him) EPL title under Conte, but I hated the system after that

it is so 'gimmicky', so often produces ugly AF footie, and the EPL knows how to so often rip that scheme apart now, post Conte

same for modern CL teams facing it

it is a huge reason why Conte is shite in European footie

no euro trophies as a manager

The closest he got was the EL final in 2020 (a cough cough covid final)

Big Rom's 74th minute OG blew it for him

The final was originally scheduled to be played on 27 May 2020 at the Stadion Energa Gdańsk in Gdańsk, Poland.[6] However, UEFA announced on 23 March 2020 that the final was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

He never made it to a CL final

Those 2 great Juve sides in 2015 and 2017 who lost to Barca and then Real Madrid, in the CL finals, respeectively

were led by Massimiliano Allegri, not Conte

 

Poor Juve (2 wins, 7 losses), Benfica (2 wins, 5 losses), Atletico Madrid (zero wins, 3 losses) Reims (zero wins, 2 losses) and Valencia (zero wins, 2 losses) in CL finals

23 finals

only 4 wins

19 losses

 

Chels, if not for Moscow 2008 (GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR), would have the best undefeated record in CL finals (we should be 3 wins, zero losses)

the only 2 undefeated teams in multiple CL finals are

Forest, 2 wins, zero losses

and

Porto, 2 wins, zero losses

then 4 teams:

Feyenoord 
Aston Villa 
PSV Eindhoven  
Red Star Belgrade  

are all 1 win, zero defeats in CL finals

and the only other 'in multiple CL finals' teams with losing records in CL finals are

Borussia Dortmund with 1 win, 2 losses

and

Inter Milan, 3 wins, 4 losses
