Pellegrini is a decent manager. His record is great and City were always a very positive team under him. Way better than under Mancini anyways. I don't understand why people hate him so much. I wouldn't say no to the guy, he's decent after all. And he's a gentleman. Remember when our beloved Mourinho was leading 1-0 against "Pellegrino" on Etihad, we parked the bus even though it was 10 vs. 11, but "Pellegrino" didn't give up and the game finished 1-1? Well, that's that attitude that I'd like to see at Chelsea. 

You can say that he could've done better at City, but you can't say that his team was not entertaining or a lot more attractive to watch than Mourinho's Chelsea. Not to mention his achievements at Malaga specially. He almost took them to the UCL semifinals. Malaga, people. 

I invite you to read this article. Nice stats.

He's tactically inept! Why do you want a manager who only knows how to play one way? Its not as if our current squad are capable of winning consistently playing an open style and furthermore he clearly doesn't have an eye for talent when you look at who they have brought in post Mancini.

Fortunately I don't believe Pellegrini is in the running for the position, in my opinion he has fluked on league title and massively underachieved given the outlay of spending and the depth of squad.

I'd rather one set in stone style that the fucking idiocy happening on the pitch right now.

[Laylabelle 9,427]

Whoever we get its always the length of the contract thats a bit hmm no chance!

Why people hate Allegri so much? He is brilliant manager who was one step from  winning the FUCKING TREBLE with team worth 130 million euros. This season Juve had slow start, but he just broke clubs record with 10+ win in a row.

As a Juve fan who've seen both Conte and Allegri up close, I'd take Massimo over Antonio here in a heart beat (though I would be a bit sad to see him leave Juve we're he's doing so well).

Yeah but didn't Conte build the current team?

Allegri is like a Avram, just took over a good squad and got farther in the CL then previous manager.

Matters little who comes in if the board don't back him, and I mean properly with proper funds. Player identification should be happening now.

I sincerely hope that Simeone is on his way to the Bridge after this season.

If we get Allegri, we'll be searching for a new manager next season again. I don't rate him.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

At the moment for me :

1. Diego Simeone.

2. Jorge Sampaoli.

3. Antonio Conte.

4. Massimiliano Allegri.

Would like to think about someone like Roger Schmidt (Bayer Leverkusen) or Leonardo Jardim (Monaco) but that's surely no go.

But every one mentioned above has my fear. With no one I have 100% trust, not even Simeone. With everyone I can imagine failing, well only Simeone give me hope about sure top 4.

There's no clear target and with managers playing very different style linked with Chelsea you can be sure that club still has their options wide open.

If only Jose wasn't so damn stubborn ...

Won't last more than a season, he'll be like a fish out of water.

Happy to be proven wrong.

Because Avram grant also come close to winning much, or RDM won the doble.

That doesn't impress me much, it was the work done with the club. Conte took a team from 7th spot and made them relevant. Allegri just came in a fill in like Avram.

Apart from the CBs and Buffon, Allegri has basically had to rebuild the entire team since Conte left, especially this year after the departure of Pirlo, Tevez and Vidal.

He's also altered a lot in Juve's system. 

Don't get me wrong, what Conte did was incredible, nearly miraculous. He built a team with a small budget that won the Serie A unbeaten against all odds and went on to dominate. But that team is now, for the large part, history, so is Conte's 3-5-2 by his own admission. 

 

Won't even respond to the comparison with Grant, tbh...

Yeah but you also forget about mentality.

Juventus was like Liverpool. Conte brought that mentality and Juventus to relevance.

Current manager did not had part in that, just took over a well run team.

To be honest, not that impressive to dominate Serie A when you have by far the most expensive team with by far the best players.

Factually incorrect. Conte's original team that won the league unbeaten was basically assembled from scraps. But even since then, Juve have been outspent in the market by Roma, Napoli and even Inter. From the XI that played Barcelona in the CL final last season, iirc only one player had cost more than 10 million Euros.

Best players, probably yes, but certainly not by far. Roma's squad, for example, is full of stars and many saw them as favorites for the title last season.

The reason I don't want Allegri getting the job cause he plays the 3-5-2 formation it does not work in the PL Rodgers try it at Liverpool and failed Lvg try it at utd and it didn't work for him as well 

[Cosmin 2,484]

Have people forgotten that Massimiliano Allegri won the Seria A with AC Milan too? Maybe it was Conte who built that team aswell.

Juve never lost the winning mentality even when they didn't win a title for 5 seasons. That's because the team still had a lot of the core players from pre 2006 such as Buffon, Chiellini, Del Pierro and even Nedved on the board.

The atmosphere around the club was probably worse when Allegri came in than when Conte took over. There were a lot of 'political' inside the club and the board was being accused of not spending enough and not getting Conte the players he wanted. There were also issues inside the squad. Issues that Conte himself had contributed quite a lot to, if I might add. 

Worse than all of that, though, was that almost everyone predicted and wanted Allegri to fail and he had HUGE pressure on him and he went out in his first season and nearly won the treble. Conte, in contrast, had very little pressure on him in his first season because Juve were not supposed to win the title, they weren't even favorites to make top 3!
