MoR2:

the question I want am answer to is why was he even employed, was benitez the best Perez could get for us.

2015, we sack ancelotti to hire benitez, we didn't even consider Klopp then, it was a benitez that finished fifth with Napoli we got.

I just hope history doesn't repeat itself and we get Conte, yes a serial winner and probably the best available option but can he manage the egos in Madrid

The ego management is what I'm worried about.
Our team has a lot of divas. How Zidane managed to keep harmony is beyond me

politics man.

I think the team is more united now unlike last 3 years. We have a calm dressing room now.

Eruditor:
I don't support anyone but AtYourCervix makes good points that revisionist knowledge may not let people see.

Zidane was not supposed to be long term so it is not like the board could control him. He was supposed to steady the ship and see out the remainder 6 months while Perez found a new Manager but Zidane ended up winning the UCL.

So the reality is, that lineup against Barca that RM got walloped 4-0 was strange because everyone knew that was not the team he had used prior. It was clear there was some overarching influence in the team selection and Beni hinted at it after leaving Madrid. (He signed a gag order so could not go full throttle on the exposé).

And you know he wasn't supposed to be long term HOW

the experience of being in such atmosphere, being a leader of super stars when he was a captain at France., his time in Madrid etc, all helped.

that's why I picked conte over poch but if we can get Allegri all good. I doubt if poch has had to deal with so many egocentric individually and worse is they will now feel having won UCL 3times within 3years they have become divine.

MoR2:

That is Wikipedia and in this case the news is false. Was it not Zidane who signed a new contract last year because the first contract he had was ending last year as well (or end of last season 2016-2017)? Yet he was hired Jan 4 2016 so there is no way he got a 2.5 year contract at the time. It was the extension he got last year that was for 2.5 or 3 years.

Just negodu

Zidane looks set to sign a £44m-a-year deal with Qatar.

BoleAndFish:
Just negodu

is Wenger a bad coach? You making it look like his one.

MoR2:

not confirmed yet.

I just love zizou, he said he won't be coaching another club anytime soon, and I think his going to keep to his words. Qatar or France national team will be his next location, who knows, he might then return to Madrid.

Miremoses1:
Pochetinno, klopp and Massimiliano Allegri.

Who among them can do a better job in Madrid?

I like Allegri because he is versatile when it comes to formation. He uses different formation depending on the team he is playing.


Klopp is a kind of coach that doesn't have plan B.
He is not that versatile with formation. But he is a very good coach. I like his football philosophy.

Poch is a joker. Just look at the Tottenham squad. Good players in all position but he is yet to win a spoon. Give Simeone, Mourinho, Kloop that squad and they will win you titles. That Tottenham squad have depth. Just look at their bench. To me poch is not a good coach.

nice points you got there, but I think poch deserves all the hype his getting. He turned Tottenham into title contenders.

Though his nothing close to allegri, but I thing poch is really good.

He only turned Tottenham to title pretenders and not contenders.

A Coach that can't even win Europa League or FA Cup with that squad at his disposal is not a good coach to me.

The English Press are just hyping him.

after making close to £180m , mehn that guy's life is just amazing

any news or movement in replacing him at Madrid?

no no not hype. the English press like generating excitement about poch that kind of excitement that never leads to satisfaction.

So let me get this straight. We just went from aiming for the treble next season to now hoping we have a good season (whatever that means).

Thankful to Zidane for the memories. He's earned his break. As for the Board, now is a good time to carry out the overhaul we've been pushing forward. If you want to call anyone's bluff, do so now. If you're signing anyone, get the signature in time. You guys have the whole summer to make something out of this new found mess. Not when the season starts, we'll start hearing funny stories.

As for my choice of managers. In order of preference:

3. Poch (...This low because I don't think he'd be an efficient man manager. He may have the tactics, but that wouldn't mean sh*t if he doesn't control the massive egos in the locker room).
2. Sarri (He'd provide the team with defensive solidity. No more leaking goals, which effectively means less pressure to outscore when playing).
1. Allegri (Needs no introduction)

Those talking about Klopp should know he is a One Direction kind of guy. Geggenpressing is all he has, and we don't have the youthful squad that'd implement that rigorously. You're practically saying folks like CR7, Kroos, Marcelo would be running around the pitch for 90 minutes every match they play; which we know is impossible. We'd be a first half team (like Liverpool that's a 60' team).

I have very low expectations for the 2019 season. Top two finish in the league, CdR win (even if we have to play CR7 in it to win, so be it. It's the only realistic trophy we can win in our sleep), and UCL SF (if we've done it for 8 consecutive seasons with the managerial shitshow we've had, we can do it once more).

We should also blame Leicester 2015- 2016 season.

Just so you know Sarri plays a similar system to klopp. Besides getting Allegri would be similar to getting Sarri, I.e pay the clubs about 10m which would be cheaper than going for Klopp of even Poch (considering than getting Allegri or maybe Sarri would be easier I consider them better than Poch)

Realistically, we have Conte or even Wenger

then I heard a strange name today Michael Laudrup

Another Coach i like again is Tuchel but he is got a job already.

Except that Sarri complements his press with possession football; sth we are experts in.

The issue with Allegri is, would he want to come? Becoming a manager at RM is a high-profile job, but it isn't a long-term one. Low was contacted, he turned the offer down.

Ladrup has said earlier this year he doesn't want to coach for much longer, so he fits the profile of a coach Perez would want. One that isn't too vested and can be made a scapegoat when things go south.

Anyway, let them contact as many options as they want as long as they make a decision before the end of the world cup.

Real Madrid will push for Sarri if they fail to hire Pochettino, says intermediary

Real Madrid will push for Maurizio Sarri if Mauricio Pochettino doesn’t ask to leave Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, according to an intermediary.


The managerial merry-go-round is in full swing, as Napoli fired Sarri to make way for Carlo Ancelotti, but he is still under contract and negotiations with Chelsea appear to have broken down.

“(Napoli President) Aurelio De Laurentiis is making sure his contractual rights are respected, so any club that wants Sarri has to negotiate directly with him, but I am sure they’ll be able to resolve it all with a handshake,” transfer intermediary Salvatore Garritano told CalcioNapoli24.

With Chelsea getting cold feet, it seems Real Madrid are interested in Sarri’s services after Zinedine Zidane resigned.

“It’s more than just a suggestion, absolutely. We mustn’t hide the situation: Real Madrid want Pochettino and have done for several weeks, they even have an agreement, but contractually he is in a more complicated situation than Sarri, having just renewed his deal with Tottenham.

“Real Madrid cannot wait for Pochettino much longer. I think after tomorrow, they won’t wait any more and Sarri is the second choice, but let’s be clear, it’s like choosing between a BMW and a Ferrari.

“I spoke to a few Real Madrid directors and if they want to, they’ll take Sarri. Napoli and Real Madrid have a strong rapport, so I’d give it a 70 per cent chance we’ll see Sarri on the Merengues bench.

“I think they’ll make a decision on Sunday night, maximum on Monday. It’s a big club, the market is open and they can’t wait for much longer.”

Napoli could even ask for Karim Benzema as part of an exchange with Sarri.

“It’s no secret Ancelotti loves Benzema and obviously he’d like him at Napoli. On Monday morning, I will speak to Real Madrid again and we’ll see what happens.”

from what Miremoses1 posted going for Sarri seems like our most likely option of the lot.

I just hope the team would be receptive of his methods. #SarriBall

would take sarri over him though.

No gimmicks. Kovacic posted this picture on his I. G page.
