Next Manager after Pep

[blue ranger]

If Pep decides to leave at the end of the season I think Luis Enrique would be a great shout. But think and hope Pep will do 10 years with City.

Think Vieira has a good chance depends what he does at palace next few seasons! City think very highly of him as a coach, but we will see.

Vieira won’t be competing for titles and won’t be managing at Champions League games, therefore he is ruled out. We won’t be giving a manager their big chance, we will pick someone who has proven they don’t choke at the highest level already. That is the problem with Arteta, I think he’s already failed enough at Arsenal to be ruled out no matter what he does next, given how much they spent. And I think he’ll continue not to manage Champions League there. Kompany is only brought up because of his past as a player, but again he will be nowhere near tested at a high enough level. The manager I keep an eye on is Nagelsmann depending what he does at Bayern and because they don’t keep managers there too long (we got Pep from there as well…). Maybe we could lure Flick out of the German national team as well? I have a suspicion we would be looking at a German manager. If not, I’d keep an eye at Sporting manager Ruben Amorim, still quite young and successfully having implemented ideas similar to ours

Yeah good shout but it’s the football a manager plays and installs in his teams plus how those players respond to that manager, looking at palace players this season they believe and respect Vieira. They chose Pellegríni for his style of play and what he gets out of the players he coaches. Yep he coached at a high level but hadn’t won much before coming to us.

Vieira ticks a lot of boxes one the big ticks is the respect he has as a person, players will look up to him! Problem is he won’t tick many more boxes staying at palace.

Your right though we will look for an experience manager who managed at a very high level.

If Vinny gets the Burnley job and makes a decent fist of it , would love to see him back at the club in a few years time.

Yeah, coaching Burnley in the championship really sets you up well for the City job.

Take your blue specs off.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Whoever replaces Guardiola has to be an elite world class manager.

Vinny, Arteta and Viera aren’t even playing the same sport. Arteta has potential and was by all accounts a brilliant number two, but look at the way Arsenal bottled the top four this season. He’s nowhere near the top level yet.

Vinny is about as qualified as Solskaer.

Nothing wrong with wanting an ex legend taking on the roll. Look at Pep, he was promoted to the Barcelona head coach & look what happened there.

Who would you suggest is an elite world class manager?

Everyone is allowed to want whoever they want, but reality usually has a different outcome. As for the Barcelona/Pep example: They had a structure in place and a squad to back him. At Barcelona, even if you fail you’d still end up at top 2. And he’d shown at Barcelona B he was a genius already. They don’t promote too many Barcelona B managers for first team historically. It’s an entirely different situation and we don’t know how long Txiki and others will even be around here post Pep. We can’t afford to fail an appointment of a manager. Just look at United or even Barcelona. They have to be tested and successful.

Add to that ,they need to playing similar possesion football.

Rewatched Misery last night, not sure we're thinking laterally enough on this thread.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

There is something after Pep. It's called Apocalypse. Look it up in Revelations to find out all about it.

Absolutely, Barcelona had a structure & squad in place the same as City do. I'm not saying Vinny would be a success at City (nobody knows) but h'es captained the club under Pep & understands the City style.
There's no guarantee that any manager you employee will be successful.

Role*

And indeed Guardiola was promoted with little experience. Luckily for him and Barcelona he was also the greatest strategist in the history of the sport.

Do you fancy a gamble on Vinny being the same? I don’t.

Suggesting someone go from managing Burnley in the championship - which is about as far away stylistically from City as it’s possible to get - to getting the job at City is laughable, I don’t care how big a club legend they are.

Solskaer was a great player for United. It doesn’t mean he was qualified to manage them.

This talk about Kompany succeeding Pep is completely stupid and small-time.

Off the top of my head - Enrique, Ancelotti.

We have a structure but there is absolutely no guarantee we’ll stay on top like Barcelona. The stakes are much higher. You can look at United again, how much they invest and the gambles they took with managers were failure after failure.
The name I had always thought would be the first to replace Pep is now at United. Then I go to the names I mentioned, Nagelsmann, Flick and Ruben Amorim (outside chance). I repeat, I have a feeling it will be a German, that’s the philosophy you want to bet on outside of Pep right now. Can I see it being Luis Enrique? I could, but that would depend on the other Barcelona guys staying, and even then Txiki did work with him as manager as he had with Pep. I also feel that Enrique would be à frustrating failure, with us and everyone expecting a continuation of Pep which he likely wouldn’t deliver, and it would never take off

As much as I like and admire Ancelotti, I think he’s staying at Madrid for a few years still, and his style doesn’t match ours. Enrique does and I can see it, like I said, but I have my doubts.

 

[Silva2021]

Ten Hag, if he does well at United and we feel he is ready for the step up.

 

[Seth MCFC]

The priority should always be to extend Pep’s contract but if he does decide to leave the replacement must be a manager who has experience in the Champions League. It cannot be Arteta, Vieira or Kompany until they have proven themselves in the Champions League.
