I hope the club will go after Jupp Heynckes, along Klopp is the best manager in the world in last 2 years.

Hmm.. the reason Bayern are getting Pep is because he is retiring? Otherwise, why would he be leaving Bayern?

He's 67 yrs old and wants to relax now...

Having built that amazing team with Goetze confirmed for next season - you'd be mad to give it up - unless you were dead serious about retiring.

I do agree he's an awesome manager - he's got Ribery and Robben playing defensive and the whole TEAM working as a unit - perfect balance between defence and attack - truly a joy to watch!

tbh I think we've played our best football under Robbie. given more time I think he could've succeded more.

Hope Robbie gets another crack at managing an EPL club.

Rafa Benitez to Blackburn Rovers. Imagine him working with Shebby Singh

He's basically been forced out by Bayern, that's why he said he's retiring because he's basically had enough - and right now he's proven the Bayern board wrong on every account. They're on route to a historic treble. Jupp has said that he would reconsider retirement if interesting offers came along so he's another great option.

I've said it in the thread earlier, if we don't get Mourinho I'd be happy with Jupp.

Does he speak fluent English?

I'm not sure. I hope he does.

I would love Low. An excellent tactician who seems o be able to get the best of young prospects.

I think playing without a striker would not help us much.

Can you link me to some stories?

Like I say I deal with Bayern fans day in day out and they like this guy! They are sad he is retiring?

Some are gutted Pep is coming, they think he will ruin Bayern... Germans (no offence) tend to only trust a few nationalities and in my limited exposure this has been: Japanese, English and South Korean. This is from a manufacturing perspective of course - but they do have concerns over Pep and would have preferred a German manager!

If this guy really isn't retiring - then I agree - he is Mourinho plan B.

Wild be hard luring him to the hustle and bustle of London though - as he's been living in Bavaria which is very relaxed, clean and the polar opposite of London! I guess for him though its only 1:40 on a plane

Low never plays without a striker. Not that it matters because he's not coming here.

Bookmakers slash odds on Moyes joining Manchester United

Bit of a rumour flying about up here that Moyes is going to Old Trafford as Fergie's Number 2?

Unlikely surely, but definitely possible.

What about Guus Hiddink? If Roman can convince him out of retirement

Hiddink would be awesome....but i'm worried about his age.

We should give Hiddink the football director role at Chelsea...he'd be a better option than Emenalo.

It's Jose all day long for me.

Now that Moyes to United is done and Pellegrini to City looks dead on, if Chelsea don't get Mourinho ( ), then I'd take Hiddink.

But a name like Hiddink will only have a negative effect on the manager. If the team is not doing well, there will be media pressure on manager and the stories will eventually spawn from lazy journos that Roman will replace Manager X with Hiddink. A name like Emenalo is no threat. Don't think we should hire a big name director of football
