Crazy stat they just mentioned. Rodri since the start of 2023, 8 total lost games for club and country, 8 trophies won.
They have been the biggest and most successful football nation for 16 years now, great youth-development throughout without any holes, each player superbly educated and trained in any part of the game. The fact that some of their players don't play for 'big' clubs doesn't mean anything, because there is no drop in quality at all.This was an all-time run by Spain. Won every game, scored the most goals, beat the likes of Croatia, Italy, Germany, France, England. What's more is that their squad doesn't even look that impressive.
Replace him with...?
What has Potter been up to since Chelsea?My preference would be Potter or, failing that, an attacking coach/manager. We have all these incredible forwards, our strong point, and we piss around at the back and lump it forward
Potter should never have left BrightonWhat has Potter been up to since Chelsea?
IIRC, he was a on quite a finals winning streak which ended with the FA Cup defeat to United.Crazy stat they just mentioned. Rodri since the start of 2023, 8 total lost games for club and country, 8 trophies won.
Wayne Rooney.There are no managers in the UK I can't think of a single one that means I guess we have to keep him.

A German will never manage England.I'm not an England fan so I hope they keep Southgate.
If they wanted to try to really unlock their potential though I think Jurgen Klopp would be the best choice.
I think that thinking was the same with non-British Managers in England up until the 90s, never say never.A German will never manage England.
I'd believe it when I see it. A lot of the 'news' about the US job looks like utter fabrication to me.DLF wants the US job supposedly and I say I goddamn hope that's true
England consider Germany their main rivals and almost everything within the England setup is viewed through an anti-German lens. It'd be a huge risk for everyone involved given how massive the pressure would be. But even beyond the rivalry, it's always risk to take a job for a nation that is not your own, especially at a big nation. The FA would be reluctant to offer it, the manager would be reluctant to take it.I think that thinking was the same with non-British Managers in England up until the 90s, never say never.
Gregg Berhalter is availableThere are no managers in the UK I can't think of a single one that means I guess we have to keep him.
I mean it’s 2024. Kloop is a well respected winning manager in the EPL. I can’t believe xenophobia would prevent him from being hired.England consider Germany their main rivals and almost everything within the England setup is viewed through an anti-German lens.

But in any event, it's an immensely difficult job for anyone given that quite apparently nothing but a tournament title is sufficient for the public. Who comes out of the England job with their reputation enhanced?
Ronaldo has 6 in 21, besides Portugal were far from contenders after their golden generation retired.
Yeah just read about it:DLF wants the US job supposedly and I say I goddamn hope that's true
Representatives for Spanish men’s national team coach Luis de la Fuente have contacted the U.S. Soccer Federation about the Americans’ position, which opened last week when Gregg Berhalter was fired.
De la Fuente, 63, guided Spain past England in the European Championship final Sunday in Berlin, capping a perfect run through the tournament for its first continental title since 2012.
Massoud Roushandel confirmed to The Washington Post that he and Vicente Montes emailed USSF Sporting Director Matt Crocker on Friday about de la Fuente’s interest in the job. Roushandel is president of Global Elite Sports Group, a U.S.-Spanish management firm. He works closely with Montes, a prominent Spanish sports attorney and de la Fuente’s adviser.
Or a reserve if he lost the final or he's like pep and wants a new challenge, and let's face it, any coach who would take over the United States and take them to a semi-final or even the final in 2026, would gain a lot of prestige, Not to mention the challenge.Yeah just read about it:

I would agree from 2008 (Mainly 2010) to 2014, But from 2015 onwards, good talents began to emerge, today for example I don't see Portugal as being much inferior to the other teams in talent.Ronaldo has 6 in 21, besides Portugal were far from contenders after their golden generation retired.
