At this point it’s all but confirmed Xabi will be our next manager, right? godspeed, hopefully florentino supports him and sign the players he wants/needs to succeed.
We only had one good attacker. Vinicius became a great player when he left. Would not call it a massive failure. He won a league title.
Same as gerrard. Gerrard was winning SPl without losing a match.
Last season watched his team when roma played against Bayer laverkusen.
They struggled to get a shot on target in almost 200 minutes of football. He had no clue to how to do things differently. And that was a roma team without 6-7 first teams players.
Mourinho outtacticed him
Pep doesn’t rly have a reason to leave City. Only other team where he’d get the same resources is PSG and it’s a shitshow of a club in a much weaker league. Unless he gets bored and goes back to Barca I don’t rly see him leaving. Maybe to Italy if Klopp somehow ends up there or an NT.
Pep to Spain and Klopp to Germany for the world cup in … Saudi Arabia :')
I didn’t mean it in the way that he would go there, the point was just that RSO is also a former club not mentioned in the article (and contract?) like SD Eibar
Korean and Japanese commentators nightmare
Their improvement last season was due to many factors, not just Alonso. I think he’ll be a good one but let’s just chill. He hasn’t proven much yet.
This. Bayer had a decent squad for a while now. If anything they had underperformed previous years.
DailyMail lol
I want to believe
Real Sociedad in the muddle
Unless Real has a stroke, it’s a no brainer for them.
Unless Zidane.
Winner decides the correct spelling of their name for the next year 🤣
I don’t think you guys have it in you to sack him. And that’s understandable. So Klopp is Liverpool manager until he decides he no longer is
You don’t sack managers like Klopp or Pep, they sack you
Didn’t everyone think the same about Arsene Wenger?
He was sacked after years of mediocrity, not a bad run or even a season.
Years of mediocrity, falling out with sections of the fans for extended periods of time, poor transfers, lack of CL, stagnating methods and staff appointments, couldn’t win a game away from home…it was time to go sadly.
Yeah, you really went forward when you sacked him.
Did I say we went forward or did I just list some of the reasons why he left (because he wasn’t sacked).
Didn’t he just retire. I won’t know for sure. I’d rather call it retirement ?
He went on to work for FIFA on football policies, but as far as coaching is concerned he’s basically retired (not officially but he’s 73 and seems to be enjoying his life so I think coming back out to coach isn’t on his agenda).
You should know by now that Madrid players respond well to respected (club) legends, and not to professor type coaches who have never won anything substantial.
current team is completely altered from the generation that this was said about. They may respond to a coach like Nagelsmann just as anyone would.
I honestly hope Pep Lijnders takes over for Klopp when Klopp leaves. He’s earned it and would be the perfect person to carry on the good work Klopp started and maintain the continuity and clarity in purpose, team building, and man management already in place, but he’d also bring a fresh energy and some new ideas.
I really do think that management transition at Liverpool could parallel that if the switch from Bill Shankly to Bob Paisley, if not in exact trophy count but at least in sustained success season over season.
But if not Pep Lijnders, then Xabi Alonso is my very next preferred choice to take over after Klopp.
