Won't Bayern and Juve win another league title in a row? 

 

 

It's an issue across Europe tbh.

Bayern I dont know but Inter in with a good shout imo.....amazing what Conte has done so fast with that squad, he really is an amazing coach and one I wish would have worked out for us.

I have a feeling that Bayern will not win (RB Leipzig for me) but Juve will

I don't think he's done anything revolutionary. Failed to get out a rather average CL group despite having fate in their own hands and still seem a way off Juve IMO.

If Lazio can keep the momentum going, I think they would be a better shout to make things interesting.

That would be something. Nagelsmann's stock would be through the roof if that happened.

Nagelsmann was my first choice by far after it became apparent Cone was leaving

There'd have been even more uproar about inexperience had he joined. Not to mention, we would have probably sacked him the moment things went sideways.

When you consider how utterly shit they have been for ages then imo he has revitalized them....there were a non entity and look at the now. Average Group stage? It was anything but average.

They qualified for CL in the last two seasons. He's made them more competitive with the help of funds (€100m+ along with players like Sanchez still on a hefty wage). You have to take everything into consideration.


They failed to beat Slavia Prague at home & lost to a Barca B side that had nothing to play for. C'mon on.

the sacking could happen to anyone

and I have followed his career since Hoffenheim, I love his tactical skills and for a young (very young) manager, he seems to have great player management skills

could so see him end up at Bayern eventually

Valentino Lazaro joins Newcastle on loan from Inter Milan

great signing for them

True, but I could easily have seen another AVB situation. Lampard is very fortunate right now going by managers before him.  

 

 

Anything hot in the Bundesliga/German normally ends up at Bayern (Klopp seemingly being the exception for now).

Nagelsmann is streets ahead of AVB as a manager

Question is if big names would respect a young guy with no player career like Nagelsmann. We nowadays don't have big names in our squad, so in our Case it would not matter but in Clubs like Barcelona or Madrid it would.

Mourinho

shit player

and regardless of his many faults

he certainly had the respect of the players at the beginning for multiple years

same as many other managers who were crap players

Nagelsmann once said that "30% of coaching is tactics, 70% is social competence". It's little wonder that players respond strongly to him. He did great at Hoffenheim and has now seemingly taken Leipzig to another level.

Yes but Mou at least was older. I don't think guys like Ronaldo and Messi could respect him right now
