The Next Manager?

[ZOS 580]

By giving up possession and drawing them out, often targeting specific positions within their team and overloading that area when they are out of position.

my question is, what if they chose not to get out of position? what if they're also happy to give up possession? which most PL teams are happy to do when facing us.

#Chelsea say Didier Drogba was only here to support his 'family' today, nothing else.

He responded simply: “No comment. A respect for everyone.”

Holland: "The managerial job at #Chelsea is for an experienced manager. We need an experienced manager. We had one, now have another." [bBC]

[The Chels 2,502]

My prediction is:

City - Guardiola

Chelsea - Simeone

United - Mourinho

Going to be interesting but if we can get Simeone, he surely can challenge those 2.

Imagine that. Klopp at Liverpool as well. That would make for one hell of a league.

The board need to feel the heat too, the summer played a massive part. Terrible decision to go Sydney. Poor investment in the team

Would love Conte if Simeone isn't available.

If Guus does well I wouldn't mind him staying for another season or two.

Pay attention to what I am saying, the same people claiming for Simeone will be the first to moan about us not playing attractive football...

I don't think he'll come here. Why would he? Lol it'd be the worst decision of his career.

I agree. And those people would be ignorant and wrong.

That's what I think.

However with the board appointing Mourinho I think they didn't care. They just didn't expect him to lose the dressing room for his second time in his career.

So let's see, because it's true Simeone is like Mourinho in the style of playing however much more respectable if you can call it that.

Mourinho is just too much noise, and sometimes not worth it.

Simeone would not bring all the shenanigans that Mourinho brought and that would be better for a manager managing a team for a long period of time.

Honestly, no one thought Mourinho would fall into this pitch hole. No one!

Also, its not like I think Simeone will fail or anyhting. He is a great manager. However, he is VERY similar to Jose Mourinho (in his good old days) and I dont think that's what we need right now. We need someone who focus more on the training aspects of the game and isnt as tough. Carlo would be ideal imo, but if not him I would go for someone with a lesser pedigree yet proven to some degree, like San Paoli or Bielsa.

Pep please. No more managers similar to Mourinho.

Simeone: “The intelligent supporter is the one who does not obsess over whether the team plays well, but rather that the team wants to win.”

Warming to the thought of Simeone more and more myself. He's looking like the only "top" manager that's a possibility.

Don't want to go into the matches against Pep, Mourinho, or Klopp next season thinking we're immedietly at a disadvantage due to them having far superior managers. Simeone would go toe to toe against that lot.

I could be wrong, but it seems like he's got all of the good traits of Mourinho but none of the nasty ones. He's fiery, arrogant, and demonstrative but doesn't seem to pick fights with everyone and isn't hugely outspoken in the press.
