I'm a Juve fan (that's why I said I was biased lol), I have it written in the description under my username but it probably isn't visible on mobile.Are you a fan of one of the Milanese clubs?
I think Sarri has proven himself and his football to be effective in a number of jobs, including his time in the Prem as well as Serie A. Chelsea fans didn’t like his style of play, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t effective imho it was, and that job was never a stable one, I wouldn’t have expected anyone to last long there.
True that it is subjective, but I’m interested why you think he’s a tw@t?
We've had Sarri for the only title-winning season he had in Serie A, but it wasn't that enjoyable. Partly because at the time we were too used to winning the title, partly because he didn't win convincingly and wasn't any less boring or frustrating than Allegri despite being possession-oriented; he put us to sleep with 100 little horizontal passes in midfield and the slowest buildup possibile which didn't result in many chances. And yeah partly because of his history of antagonism and hateful comments towards Juve and the fact that it was crystal clear he didn't like the club and he wasn't in the right environment for him - we all knew it but he also said it himself after he was sacked. So yeah I might very well be biased but here in Italy he's known for making excuses* and for being a very crude and ignorant person, of the mean kind - the kind that freely shouts "faggot" at Mancini (and it wasn't a first for him), just to give a very small example.
*e.g. he famously said in 2018, when he was coaching Napoli, that his Napoli side lost their game against Fiorentina (and so the title race to Juve) because of the despair of watching Juve win a match undeservedly the night before, despite Napoli having the possibility of overtaking Juve and being ahead with 3 games to go if they'd just won or drawn their own game against Fiorentina that afternoon.
Hmm I do think Simeone's style being that different would result in him having to make more changes, but yeah some of your players are definitely suited for a more direct style of football.Any successor will buy his own players, but I don’t see Simeone having to buy more than other managers will. He would play a completely different style absolutely, but we have a squad full of highly intelligent footballers, many of which have played different styles at other clubs. I could see him getting more out of Haaland as well as the English contingent.
Tata led a very good period of Barça before their post-Pep decline set in. Based on his time with that squad, I see him as someone who could slot in with us quite effectively post-Pep. He would maintain the same shape, a high back line and possession-based play, but slightly more direct and very high-tempo.
Didn't know that, thanks for the info. He doesn't sound like a bad option then.
I want to see what he does in the next few seasons before putting him up for a top job.
Same, I'd like to see him stay at Brighton for a bit and express his full potential there before going to a big club.
