Managerial Thread - 24/25 Season - Lolves/Lolthampton

[robertmac43]

Yeah, but there’s no real opening.

We can prep for the inevitable Southgate firing?

Lolbion had me laughing so hard I nearly soiled myself

New Title suggestion : "The Southgate sack watch"

Serbia about to fire Stojkovic but because he is under contract until 2026 he will be owed over 1m euros. They are trying to bring in Joachim Low but not sure he would be interested in that job

Croatian federation says Dalic will stay on but still some rumors he could resign, he will address it today apparently. My guess both he and Modric stay on

Now imagine him going off like that on Sancho or Rashford...

Erik ten Hag said: "I am very pleased to have reached agreement with the club to continue working together. Looking back at the past two years, we can reflect with pride on two trophies and many examples of progression from where we were when I joined.

"However, we must also be clear that there is still lots of hard work ahead to reach the levels expected of Manchester United, which means challenging for English and European titles.

"In my discussions with the club, we have found complete unity in our vision for reaching those goals, and we are all strongly committed to making that journey together."

Dan Ashworth, Manchester United sporting director, said: "With two trophies in the past two seasons, Erik has reinforced his record as one of the most consistently successful coaches in European football.
"While the club’s review of last season highlighted areas for improvement, it also reached a clear conclusion that Erik was the best partner for us to work with in driving up standards and outcomes.
"This group of players and staff have already shown they are capable of competing and winning at the top level; now we need to do it more consistently.
"With our strengthened football leadership team now in place, we are looking forward to working hand-in-hand with Erik to achieve our shared ambitions for this football club."

I could see them wanting a 1 year extension so he’s not a lame duck going into any potential end of season games next year, but the problem there is I doubt he signs a 1 year extension and instead demands 2-3 years.

One year extension it ended up as.

I think he has been hard done by the press and many fans, I think he's done a nice job given all the crap around him, even if some of the crap is his fault.

But if it doesn't work now, he can never say he wasn't given a fair chance.

Supposedly wants to be head coach/manager someplace. Might already have a job lined up.

I don't really see any world in which being the second worst defensive team in the top 5 leagues in terms of shots against is doing a nice job.

[Paulie Gualtieri]

So he wants Mourinho, Allegri or Fernando Santos type

Oh especially for those knockout games.
It's more about Bayern that I'm laughing.

Poch rumoured to be in the running for the USMNT job as well.

Poch rumoured to be in the running for the USMNT job as well.

I'm suprised Johan Cruyff wasn't mentioned as a possibility at this point.

Miguel Delaney reporting that the FA might appoint Carsley in the interim with Pep taking over after this season.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Getting beyond the base level "not in million years" of the premise, it's hard to articulate just how ill-suited to international management a guy like Pep is

 

[PeteWorrell]

Would be hilarious.

I agree as long as he keeps being an entertaining clown.
