unrelated but i really struggle to understand why Gallardo is still coaching river, does he love the club that much? Id imagine that theres no lack of european clubs sniffing around for the last 6 years or so, but he always refused to leave

Typical arrogance. Will only leave for a top drawer club. Also, is extremely well paid

I wonder the same. He's a bit of a **** but, in my opinion, the best coach in the world not currently in Europe.
 
The 3rd one was Aguero-like.. like he used do every once in a while, take a hard shot outside the box that dipped to the ground. Nice.

Left looks decent as well, can go both ways for a finish.

He was caught once on a hot mic telling a player to go for the ankle. Even Simeone isn’t that careless lol. You’ll soon see Abel Ferreira, Portuguese currently managing Palmeiras at a big European club, and Tite as well. Those two are excellent

oh man, i dont know tite well but abel doesnt even have a very good rep here in Portugal, nevermind a top 5 league. Jorge Jesus was also a god for flamenguistas and tanked hard on his second staying with benfica

Maybe its unfair but Gallardo's rep is way bigger in europe

Why arrogance? lol

If the guy is happy in River, he can fight for titles and is well paid, why should he leave for middle of the table teams in Europe?

Because I don’t think they will be calling him. Pocchetino had no issue starting low. I suppose only Simeone “travelled” well. You take a Tata Martino and he was completely exposed.
But you are correct: if he is happy and being well paid, he should stay there and build a legacy

Hahaha the literal comment was "you have to break his ankle there" but it was not meant to be taken literally. In Argentina that phrase means to commit a tactical foul. Not to allow the forward to escape you. It doesn't mean to go and actually try to hurt an opposing player. XD

(His)
Jorge Jesus never fooled me, he had no competition compared to Abel now, and Abel has grown immensely as a manager and shown academic expertise as well. I see him doing very well even in the Premier League. He’s already miles ahead of a Carlos Carvalhal who has his old job.

Tite is taking that Arsenal job very soon…

I remember Ole taking it literally though. But I’ll believe you there. It’s not like there aren’t many South American managers who do that haha (remember Simeone/Miranda/Messi?)

Carvalhal is more of an attacking manager, its possible his style doesnt translate as well to a midtable squad but i like him more than Abel tbh.

But then again i also rated the Gremio guy, Renato something, his Gremio side with Arthur, Everton and Geromel played some good stuff, and he didnt last at Flamengo so...
 
Him and Haaland is a scary prospect.

Their partnership will a stuff of legends if their chemistry is going well next season.

Renato Portaluppi is a terrible manager lol his strength is mostly motivational. I don’t know how much of Abel you have been watching, but he’s turned into an attacking manager himself.

The front three of those two plus Foden COULD turn quite incredible. Or he could push Foden to the middle as has been alluded and add a certain Portuguese… think about that haha

That team had the easiest path to that Libertadores title… trust me, he isn’t good. There is another good manager in Brazil right now: Rogério Ceni. You will hear more from him soon enough
