I think it is highly likely that Amorim will replace Pep pretty soon. All good things come to an end, the trick will be to make a new regime work.

Hugo Viana to be new Director of Football (Official Announcement p17)
- Thread starter hfc
- Start date
Yes, but each club will be slightly different.I read an interesting article about being a sporting director at an elite club and apparently talent ID isn’t at the top of the list of what you need.
At a club like city the scouting network is so huge, all the scouts will be reporting and advising the sporting directors, makes sense really. I don’t think Txiki is watching hours of tape. He makes decisions based on advice from people that do. He’s a busy man
Far more important is negotiation skills, fostering relationships, protecting the clubs style of football and creating an environment in which the team thrives.
“Pep’s style will never work in England.”Remember they said kev was a 60m reject, lol, they never learn

Fulham was enough "chaos" for me thanks, a game we never got a grip of, and could easily have lost.It’s also Pep playing slow and patient build up. I don’t care but sometimes I also miss some chaos.
i understand the logic, but there seems to be this idea that pep cant work without txiki, he worked for 3 years at bayern without txiki to be fair, there is as much an argument that pep might relish the challenge of working with new people, collaborating with new ideas etc etc.I think it is highly likely that Amorim will replace Pep pretty soon.

This.It's the teams we play, not Pep, the 10 man block is not easy (or exciting) to beat, but more often than not we do.
And other teams obsession with passing the ball in their own half. Very difficult to get the ball off them but they aren’t dangerous having any shots with it. Eg. Fulham. All their chances came on counter attacks. Made nothing from their keep ball.

Agree but obviously at some point in the not too distant future he will leave. Amorim must be the favourite to take over at that point. Whether that happens remains to be seen.
oh certainly, i agree with that and think he will leave in the near future but wouldnt say amorim is necessarily favourite tbf, city do tend to go completely left field with signings of players and managers, i think when we heard txiki was leaving most peoples thoughts didnt turn to vianaAgree but obviously at some point in the not too distant future he will leave. Amorim must be the favourite to take over at that point. Whether that happens remains to be seen.
