I think this is harsh, he doesn't suck. He just jumped too quickly from a lower division team to a team with trophy expectations. I agree there are better options for Arsenal to look at though, but Lampard is a decent manager that should be with a club more suited to his current ability level.
Lampard would never go back to West Ham. He still cries about how he was heckled when he was there in interviews to this day.
Gasperini is very very different from Guardiola stylistically. I think City are more intrested in positional play coaches considering Txiki is their director. Ten Hag could be brought in, he has lots of elements in his coaching that remind me of Guardiola, even though his teams are a lot more fluid and a bit less structured in possession. They are likely to consider Ten Hag, but unlikely to go for Gasperini. I’m not sure who I think is the best out of those two.
I mean I've wanted Blanc since it was Wenger we were replacing. Tbh at this point maybe he's been out of the game too long but I don't see any fewer viable coaches available right now than there has been at any point over the past year. Allegri's about to come back on the market too
I don't know much about Haize, but I like this train of thought. Unfortunately, it involves creative thinking and a broader look at managers... Don't think the Arsenal board has this in them.
They play incredibly structured positional play at every age level with their youth teams. It does seem like their sporting directors want to create an identifiable "City way of playing" and therefore will look to hire managers that play similarly to Pep when he eventually leaves.
No matter the option, any option would be an upgrade on Arteta. Even Steve Bruce.
I agree with you on what they'll do but I just want to stress that Haize has been head coach. With nothing but amazing success. Arteta was never head coach.
