Xavi that almost cried because Barcelona executives and fans weren't appreciating his work while managing Barcelona is what you guys are asking to come and manage Chelsea, with desperation of fans and board of directors asking for too much, if someone like Xavi should come to Chelsea and nothing changes, they will frustrate him and Todd Boehly will be incline to sell the hel remaining part of the club.

Xabi deserves better than Bayern Leverkusen right now but I'm not sure if a single season upgrade in performance is enough to move to another club, it will better if he improves his portfolio in Leverkusen, if there is sudden change in Manchester city taste of Guardiola style of game, Real Madrid will come for him and that's when I think it's perfect for him to increase his bid between this clubs and other interested clubs by that time.

Carlos Angelotti has revealed Toni Kroos' replacement as Manchester City's midfielder. Toni Kroos has left real maedrid and real madrid has also said goodbye but now the problem is that who will stand out in the place of Toni Kroos, the coach of Real Madrid. Some information shows that Carlos Angeloti intends to bring up the Manchester City midfielder Rodri should be brought in as a replacement for Kroos. And if I tell the truth, according to my opinion, there is no better player than Rodri who can play the role of defensive midfielder in a better way in big club like Real Madrid . If you look at Jude Bellagham, he is a complete attacking midfielder and he has a better idea on the CAM role because he is more relax with this. And this role also has been quite successful recently in the current season. And this is not only my opinion, while Carlos Angeloti is also of the opinion that it is better to keep Jude Bellagham near the gaol while Velverda should be played in place of Kroos. I think that Real Madrid will bring Rodri to replace Kroos.

Great news for Aston Villa fans today the club have signed Unai Emery to a 5 year contract
https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2024/may/27/unai-emery-agrees-new-five-year-contract/
Although the previous agreement was until 2027, but apparently after Aston Villa's historic first Champions League appearance and 4th place in the EPL the management decided to renew and extend the agreement with Unai Emery.
Great decision for both sides, because Emery is just great at coaching average teams and making them successful, as he did before with Sevilla and Villereal, and now with Aston Villa and the club management now has a reliable head coach with whom they can build a strategy for years to come. 

It's true, players like Toni Kroos will always be missed. Kroos' statistics with Real Madrid played 464 matches, 28 goals and presented 22 trophies. Among them he won five LaLiga titles and four Champions League trophies. Toni Kroos will play his last match in the Champions League final with El Real, In the final match, Real Madrid will face Borussia Dortmund. After that, Kroos will complete his final assignment with the German national team at Euro 2024. Kroos' retirement surprised many people, considering that his performance is still at the top level and has not shown any signs of declining. In my opinion, this is a wise decision, Kroos decided to retire at the peak of his career.

I have heard this name being linked with Manchester United quite a few times now. So I think this has the potential to end up happening. At first, I thought he was more interested in managing Barcelona. Especially when Xavi said that he was going to leave Barcelona. At that time his name came up with Barcelona.

But now it seems like Manchester United are far more interested in him compared to Barcelona. That is definitely not a bad thing. Manchester United can get him before Barcelona ends up making any kind of deal with him, good for Manchester United. At the same time it is also true that when Xavi ended up saying that he is not going to leave Barcelona, De Zerbi was actually being pursued by Manchester United. I do not think there is anything wrong Manchester United is actually able to get him. At the end of the day, the finalization of the contract is everything.

Of course, I will agree that the whole Manchester United should be very welcoming to the new coach, whoever it is. Because if the new coach does not fail he is welcomed, it is going to have a bad psychological effect on him and that might bring bad results for Manchester United

It's hard to say any coach will succeed at Chelsea. There are so many things that have to be rebuilt and upgraded in the club. Xavi is too young too put this responsibility on him, and his language barrier will not help either. He has no experience of playing and coaching outside Barcelona that make it hard for him to adapt and succeed in Premier League which is the most intense league in the world.

Xavi is a good tactician, but being a manager is more than preparing and implementing tactics. The nuance at Chelsea and Premier League doesn't seem to suit Xavi. Chelsea need to hire someone like Hansi Flick who is a tough person who is able to guide a rebuild process. Before even hiring a manager, Chelsea need to rearrange their sport director who is able to address problems in the squad and find the solutions.

I hope that they are going to change the coach at least. he is going to be definitely an improvement for them compared to Ten Hag. Even though I have not seen much from the coach that we are talking about here. but I still think that he is at least not going to bring such bad results as Ten Hag has actually brought for this club. 

but at the same time, I will also say that Manchester United can definitely get a coach who is even better than him. Probably the only problem is that the recent record of Manchester United is not very good and probably that's why good coaches are not very interested in working with Manchester United at this moment.  I just hope that they do not keep the current coach that they have just because they were able to win the FA Cup final.

29 years old Nigerian striker who done impressive job here at the Trabzonspor which helps them for having third spot into Super League deserve something special but as mentioned they are having no enough funds to give 15 Million Euro to Southampton for keeping him for the long time, but they can give another chance to him for staying here with Southampton is also not heading for the Premier League which is surely needs more intention and funds for having some improvement into their squad which helps them for keeping their spot and performance.

Turkish League is having some improvement but still it's long way for them to have better economic conditions which helps them for having things which they deserve with this all most chances they will not allow him another season here, and we will have him in sell market for having funds.

No, no, no, my friend. It's completely wrong and it's going into the opposite thing. Chelsea doesn't want a youthful coach and this is why they have contacted maresca. They have made a contact with leicester city's coach, who is likely to be Chelsea's new coach. I can imagine how disappointed Chelsea fans will be if Maresca is appointed as their new coach for the upcoming season. Im sure that chelsea fans will always boo him.

A good coach, such as Pochettino, is replaced by an unknown coach with no good football track record like maresca. No more talk of Naglesmann here.

Boehly has opted to hire Marasca from Leicester City. Very disappointed that this club may end up with the same results as when Potter and Lampard coached it. Will Chelsea try to get help from Lampard again if Maresca fails in the middle of the season, as Potter did?

I think Xavi will be successful if he comes to Chelsea. He has a similar structure to Spanish coaches who are tactically good, such as Pep and Xabi. I think Xavi can choose Chelsea, which can buy him the players he wants. Xavi has a great game intelligence. He knows very well where to intervene in the game. Last year, despite the impossible odds, they finished ahead of Real Madrid and became champions. They closed this season with the second best finish. I think Xavi can be successful at Chelsea

Well since it's a rumor let's all just stay positive well atleast that's what I will be doing since am a city fan, guadiola is a good coach and if he leaves it will be difficult to find someone that can bring out that tenacity that this Manchester city team has shown for the last decay, Manchester city would probably face the same fate as many teams who have failed to find their past rhythm and one of those teams is even their noisy neighbors Manchester united. But the movement of players and coaches is always a certain faith during this period and like you said money is always the influencing figure during this season breaks.

At this point the biggest question I have is whether Saudi Arabia will attack the transfer market big time or whether they will slightly slow down. This was so absurd how much money they have spent in transfer fees and salaries. Ronaldo's contract will end in 2025, but one thing is for sure: if he wants to try and play the World Cup in 2026, I am curious what his decision will be in regards to the club he wants to play for. Could a comeback to Europe still be possible? Ibrahimovic was the kind of guy who did it and Ronaldo will be in great physical condition when he turns 40. Money would no more be a problem for him but who knows maybe he would be willing to play for a second tier club with very low salary. Or he decides to extend his contract in Saudi Arabia one more time.

Playing in England for a club like Tottenham could be fun to watch. Or maybe a club like Dortmund in Germany. There wouldn't be a need for him to be tough in any negotiations as it probably doesn't matter whether he earns 5 million or 15 million. But it could be a great opportunity for him to prove a lot of people wrong and go to the World Cup. He is addicted to football and he still isn't susceptible to injuries. I think we might be in for a surprise.

There's no surprise here caused by kroos has announced it before. Kroos planned it a few years ago and now he is deciding to retire at his peak performance with Real Madrid, which is good to hear he has reached his target.  having won 22 championships with real madrid has made him as one of real madrid legend. Life must go on, and Real Madrid will be able to rejuvenate its players through replacing the old with the fresh players. Kroos understands that as he gets older and his chances of playing for Real Madrid diminish and it means he must decide it asap. So, tony kroos needs to retire at the top of his career to fulfil his promise. As you said that he can still play for next years but he decides not to go for it. He wants dedicate his time to play for euro 2024.
Kroos has promised himself that he will retire when he reaches peak performance and he did it. He retires as a legend of Real Madrid. He achieved what he sought several years ago. Real Madrid has also named several contenders to replace him.


We will see ancellotti to get a good midfielder to replace kroos's position I only know that if rodri has been mentioned as a potential candidate to be recruited from manchester city as kroos's successor.
Bellinghamw as often playing as attacking midfielder. Kroos is often being played as a midfielder/defensive midfielder along with valverde/modric.

These are the latest news on football currently since the season has come to an end, players will be moving from one club to another and it is the same with coaches, because every team want to build their club to be stronger than the previous season so that they can perform better in the next season. There is nothing that money cannot do, because football is now seen as business and players that lives money and are cool with the way they are and do not care about being famous anymore will move to SPL. This is because their offer can turn in the best player in the world who loves money than to be famous. After all why are you a football player, money is the first before trophies. Ederson will move to SPL because the offer is irresistible, it depends on Gaurdiola if he will be moving out from City or stay after his contract expires but the rumors is everywhere that he will be leaving.

It hasn't even been a year since Nagelsmann was appointed as German national team manager. Therefore I wouldn't expect such thing to happen now. He is preparing for Euro 2024.    However if he was free agent then he would probably be among the options for Boehly. Because Chelsea wants a young manager currently.

---

While De Bruyne is expected to stay Ederson might think of leaving Manchester City maybe. Because Al-Ittihad is said to be monitoring his situation closely. Another Manchester City related rumour is that Guardiola might leave the team by the end of his current contract (which means next summer). What do you think? Will any of these happen you think or not?

Why is Xavi in Chelsea? To try to make a second Barcelona with a squad that was assembled by 5 different coaches? This move seems most dubious to me. Both Conte and Nuggelsman would be a good option, but don’t expect miracles from Chelsea - in any case, their ceiling is top 4 next season. If they get there it will be a success.

Here we go. Another unexpected thing is coming again. According to the latest rumor, Ratcliff has contacted De Zerbi to be a successor for ten hag if club will sack him. If this report is correct, ten hags will be fired by manchester united. Manchester United fans must be welcoming him as a new coach when it becomes a reality. I know t's hard to accept it.
It's unbelievable that after Chelsea that tries to contact Maresca to be Pochettino's successor. I can't believe it now. im only wondering what all of United fans think about this.

I know that if majority of people may be disagree with it but let's see what's gonna do by manchester united in the approaching days.
I'm expecting some surprising news as soon as possible.

Napoli couldn't make it to the UEFA conference league this season because their overall performance was poor and not encouraging for an elite team like Napoli. They have to make attempts and improvements next season, I clearly understand its not going to be an easy run. Napoli have quite alot on their hands and they've to do the needful if they're keen on seeing their outstanding performance back. Napoli crumbled when Luciano Spalleti decided to quit and his absence alone affected the club.

Conte is definitely a better bet at any club in Serie A, his own method of packing the bus, playing high flying wingbacks,  two holding midfielders and hitting on a counter  is something that is seen as old fashioned football but seriously still works out in today’s modern football but not just as before. If Oshimen decides to stay at Napoli I think he will be the most important player in Conte’s squad. We have seen in the past how conte prefers strikers who can bully defenders, tall and have pace and Osihmen easily ticks all those boxes. So it will be a perfect match to me.

But my Major concern still remains that Antonio Conte doesn’t stays long in a club, the highest number of seasons he spends this days is just three seasons. Napoli to me need a manager that after a rebuild is done can stay with them for a very long term. Frequently switching managers only draw a club back and sometimes doesn’t guarantees continuous success, the deal should probably be with future understanding to extend just like the one year clauses on player’s contracts

Toni Kroos decision to retire at the age of 34 certainly surprised everyone, he is still able to play at a high level and his abilities can still be relied on. Real Madrid will certainly miss an important figure in their squad, but no one can prevent his decision even though he is still able to play for several more years. As is common, every time there is a meeting there is always a farewell. Toni Kroos has defended Real Madrid for a long time, he has also succeeded in presenting several prestigious trophies for Real Madrid. His departure will certainly be greatly missed by all Real Madrid fans, even though they currently have a worthy replacement like Bellingham, the figure of Toni Kroos, who has become a club legend, will always be a differentiator in the Real Madrid squad.
