It’s is most surprising seen that lots of football fans are just looking out for  Manchester United to Sack Erik Ten Hag, I still don’t get why. For rival fans I understand they just want to banter Manchester United which is a football thing but for a typical Manchester United fan I find it unreasonable looking at the possibility of this happening, the only valid reason a Manchester United fan will support the sacking of Ten Hag is of you’re a blind Ronaldo and Sancho fan and you’re looking for a way to get back at him. A fan who truly has the club at heart will not want this, take a look at the current market saga aside the old coaches like Mourinho and Conte who is available that is better than Ten Hag that you will want as replacement? Personally I don’t see any manager at the moment.

If you say Manchester United should employ a new young manager then we are starting the rebuild all over again and This is what we have been doing for the past 10 years that Sir Alex left the club. Manchester United need to calm down and restructure from the hierarchy and give Ten Hag sometime and back him with signings they see fit

You don't know that, you can't say that. Maybe that's your own opinion and I respect your opinion. Many of us here said Bayern Leverkusen will win that game against Atalanta, but what happened? Go check the gsme between Manchester United and Manchester City played on the date 14 January 2023, and how it finally ends. City had the highest win probability but Manchester United turned that game around.

Stop the comparison between Manchester United and Arsenal. They might be playing good football but you really have to know who you compare when it comes to winning trophies and mental strength in games like this.

Maybe they'll fire Xavi Hernandez first. You can focus on that for now. I feel like if they get him fired they're daft and a dvmp headed side. How well have they even transformed Nice in the france league 1 Competition.
Can't believe you're one of those who use just a season to judge how the coach has been for the club. It's mind blowing...

Manchester United won't win the FA Cup final. I understand that it's football and until the game is played anything is possible, but Pep is not going to let that opportunity slip away from him, same way he didn't let the opportunity he had in the league after Arsenal Arsenal lost to Villa slip. Pep is a winner. He has a winning mentality and given this kind of chance where he can win 2 trophies this season, he won't miss it

I believe Ten Hag should be fired too. He's been disastrous at Manchester United. The players don't improve, they don't play well, there's no motivation. I'm even surprised Chelsea fired Pochettino and Ten Hag is still at Man United. Pochettino is doing a better job than Ten Hag.

As much as I agree that Ten Hag has been an ass as manager for Manchester United, the downfall of Manchester United is not Ten Hag's fault. The team have crumbled in different aspects. The management of the team, the owners, the board, and everybody at the club lost their way. There were videos of the stadium roof leaking while it was raining, which shows a club with absolutely poor management.



If I were Pep I would try the Seria A. He has conquered Spain, Germany and now England, it would be nice to do it in Italy. Maybe he can manage Inter Milan or Juventus, but I doubt those clubs can afford him because they're not in a very good financial place right now, especially Juventus.
PSG is also another club that will fit Pep very well. I don't believe he will continue at Manchester City next season, but let's wait and see how it goes.

Still regarding the coach market, now the name of another coach has emerged who is rumored to be a strong candidate to replace Pochettino and he is the current Leicester coach, Enzo Maresca. The Italian coach seems to have attracted Chelsea's interest when they no longer continue their collaboration with Pochettino. Moreover, if we look at his journey in bringing Leicester back to promotion to the EPL, of course his name is something to be reckoned with.

Now Chelsea still have to negotiate with Leicester if they want to bring him to Stamford Bridge and I'm pretty sure this won't be easy. Enzo Maresca is not a new name in the world of football, he has previously been an assistant for Manchester City, West Ham, Sevilla and has also been coach of Parma in the 21/22 season. I think his experience on a good team like this makes him very worthy as a newcomer coach to pay attention to.

I am trying to share my opinion on why Kompany should be the head coach of Bayern Munich when there are other more experienced candidates. It doesn't have to be accepted and can be ignored.

Kompany has only managed 2 clubs in his coaching career. Anderlecht and Burnley. The winning percentage in dealing with these two clubs is also below 50%. Something that makes Kompany great is his vision. Burnley is not a great team as we can see because the players in the team squad he manages are not stars, but Kompany can build player confidence with just enough capital.
If he is given a good opportunity, I am sure Kompany will be a great coach.
Bayern saw it from that aspect.

If Kompany is officially announced by Bayern Munich, I am sure that players like Kane, Sane, Kimmich and Musiala will make it easier for Kompany to give his best for Bayern Munich in achieving achievements in several major competitions.

Mauricio Pochettino has never really been the right manager for Chelsea. We've seen him make some pretty bad decisions with this team throughout the season and those decisions have gone against the club. I just don't understand where Chelsea's problem is. Will we catch the manager's problem or will we catch the Chelsea management's problem. Whether Chelsea change players or not we see this team change their manager every season. Since they have so much problems with managers, they should appoint competent managers who can be trusted and who can serve the club for a long time. Changing managers every season leaves the players in dilemma as to which strategy they will play or which player will get a place in the starting XI or which player will be left out of the starting XI.

Can't imagine what it would be like if some of the experienced coaches you mentioned became coaches in the Premier League next season and certainly the competition in the PL will be very competitive and will definitely be very interesting.
But there are several coaches who in my opinion find it a little difficult to return to coaching a PL club, such as Jose Mourinho and Zidane, who would most likely prefer to coach a club in Serie A or in LaLiga.
It is not known why the two coaches prefer clubs from Serie A or LaLiga and from my speculation, actually coaches like Mourinho are more comfortable and feel challenged by the competition in Serie A and Mourinho will definitely continue to try to find the right club to be able to achieve new achievements in A series.

Unless there is something that forces all the experienced clubs to be in the PL clubs, it will definitely be a very crazy season for me.
My only hope is that Chelsea can at least bring in the right coach to be able to win the PL title again like several seasons ago.

Whether this is good or bad news for Bayern Munich fans after Munich made an agreement with Kompany, to be honest, like you, of course I and maybe many members here really didn't think that Kompany would be the coach of Bayern Munich next season, maybe Bayern Munich would trying to imitate what Leverkusen did by making a beginner coach their coach?
Alonso, who previously didn't have much experience in coaching before being recruited by leverkusen, of course surprised many people with all his achievements this season and I think Bayern Munich will also try their luck next season with a young and novice coach.

It seems that Kompany's appointment as coach next season is nothing more than a form of desperation for those who continue to fail to get a top coach this season after Tuchel dismissal, but I think there no harm in looking at Bayern Munich performance next season, whether it will be worse or maybe it could surprise us  like Leverkusen this season. Talking about Chelsea, of course I think Tuchel is no longer included in the list of coaches they might recruit, because it is reported that the Chelsea owner is inclined to prioritize a young coach to handle the Blues next season,  from several names of potential coaches that have appeared at the moment it seems that it is Roberto de Zerbi is a strong candidate for chelsea coach, after next season de Zerbi will no longer coach Brighton.

Bayern Munich and Kompany have reached an agreement, but I can't understand why Bayern Munich chose Kompany who doesn't have much experience? Handling Burley alone should be relegation again but Kompany is a breath of fresh air because he will be coaching a big club.

Some of what I read about Chelsea's coaching candidates

Zerbi
McKenna
Thomas Tuchel - He is also on the list but I don't know if it will be a priority or not.

Bayern Munich are even hoping Manchester United sacks Erik Ten Hag so they can offer him a call immediately. Manchester United should value what they have now, we don't have too many coach without a job that ate tactically sound and strong. Mauricio Pochetino to Manchester United makes no sense, they should look elsewhere. Good to even see that they're even rumours. Most of the news around Manchester United are completely rumours and speculations. I don't believe all of these bullshit until I confirm them from a good source.

Manchester United have not yet made conclusions on this Erik Ten Hag case.

Fvck! Lol.... Vincent Kompany to Bayern Munich?
They should rather go back to Hansi Flick,  Mauricio Pochetino? Maybe they should just keep a blind eye and stick with Thomas Tuchel. Immediately after the FA Cup Competition, Manchester United will decide the fate of the Dutchman.

The coaching chairs of big EPL clubs are currently vacant after the previous coach left the club for different reasons. Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are looking for new coaches to lead their squads next season. Currently there are several names of top coaches who are unemployed or don't have a job, Antonio Conte, Jose Mourinho, Thomas Tuchel and Zidane. If Conte handles Manchester United, Tuchel goes to Liverpool, Zidane goes to Chelsea and Mourinho goes to Newcastle, the competition in the Premier League will be even more exciting next season. Pep Guardiola and Arteta will have a new challenge in the title race because the effect of a great coach could make Manchester City and Arsenal lose points when facing these teams.

Currently not problem with Erik ten Hag position after Premier League season 2023/24 over and Manchester United finish on 8th position standings as poor perform in last several season. I think he has one opportunity left with possibilities winning the FA Cup final match against Manchester City or not before sacking from his position and opportunities to see Pochettino become Manchester United's manager for next season.
But I doubt Pochettino will be right manager for Manchester United next season, he was sacked from his position as Chelsea manager because unhappy with his achieved after Chelsea just finish outside from Champion League spot standings. I think Manchester United management looking for right tactician for next season has ability bring back the United in Premier League tittle race.

This guy has been City's first choice for years and started every game. But time flies and things change. Ortega is getting some playtime, and Pep is impressed with his performance. I would make Ortega the first choice. It's time to find a younger goalkeeper to work with Ortega.
Eddy has done a lot for the club, but injuries certainly affect performance. He's on the downside of his career. Ederson hasn't saved a penalty in years and isn't as good at stopping shots as Ortega. If he decides to move, I wouldn't be surprised. If that's what he wants, then good luck to him. Eddy has the right to seek new opportunities. We all need fresh challenges in our lives. He leaves Man City as a legendary goalkeeper.

Indeed currently Munich is looking for a new coach to replace Tuchel, because Tuchel failed to manage Munich this season, the Munich management who wanted to return the coaching bench to Julian Nagelsmann failed because Julian Nagelsmann refused, this was a mistake on the part of the Munich Management, and now the name Kompany appeared to handle Bayer Munchen, seeing how Burnley under Kompany failed to compete in the Premier League and had to be relegated to the Championschip competition next season, it is unimaginable that Kompany would be the choice to handle Munich.

Seeing that currently there are still many coaches who have free transfer status, such as Conte or Klopp, this could be a consideration for Munich management because they are coaches who are experienced in handling big clubs so they can easily adapt to Munich players, and of course with coaches who already have experience. What's good is that they can definitely bring Bayer Munich back to its era.

Most Man United fan are so passionate on wanting the boss to still keep his job at the club. During his first season at the club he was able to make som huge impact and that is the confidence most of the fans have for him to still be able to remain in charge at the club. He was able to win the club a UCL ticket and also be able to take the team to success in Carabao Cup; moreover you can’t fail to ignore he took them to the finals of the FA Cup though they lost but it’s a notable achievement.

 With the competitive nature of the epl, a team with injury crisis will sure be in crisis and missing most of his players last season has forced him to bend his tactics which most times don’t usually work for the team. I feel there should be a balance and there should be proper understanding that Erik Ten Hag couldn’t be the problem though because he’s achieved quite some good records in his first season. I think the overall rating should be considered before speaking ill of a manager. For Ten Hag, I think circumstances at the club is what’s making it challenging for him to be able to do well at the club.

 The FA cup final against City will definitely be a decider on the manager's fate at the club. While the game is pending and anticipated, the board has scouted for Pochettino following his loss of job with the London side. Well for me I'll say, it's more safer to scout outside because, judging from Pochettino's time with Chelsea, even though towards the season end they tried to go above United, the man doesn't really offer anything different from what Ten Hag offered. An option outside the two is more preferred to be considered.

Sadly, I don't have merits, but your post was very sensible. Very insightful thoughts although we are just talking sports...


Anyway, it would be a huge loss. Klopp gone, (iF) Guardiola gone. Huge names gone and it would hit the Premier League.

It would also mean new chances for new coaches, but these guys have written history and I think they have got something that many others don't have. Guardiola who introduced this insane style with Barcelona back then or Klopp who had amazing experiences with Dortmund and then these unbelievable fights with Manchester City. Or the one unforgotten game against Barcelona when they were 0-3 down after the first leg and won 4-0 the second leg, which was also the season when they finally won the Champions League. Seeing guys like him leave is sad.

But Mourinho was a fun to watch coach for a long time and in the end he got boring. Maybe Klopp thought it is better to leave before performance goes down his legacy gets a hit.

I haven't heard any news about Manchester United's interest in Pochettino after Pochettino officially parted ways with Chelsea. Because so far I have seen that Erik Ten Hag's position seems to be still trusted by management even though we know that he had a bad performance with Manchester United. I don't know why this happened, because if we compare it, Chelsea also released Pochettino even though he could show improvement.

It seems that Manchester United is quite comfortable with this coach, and I think this is because he always agrees to management's wishes, or he is a coach who does not disobey. If this is true then this is actually a bad thing for the team itself, because it means there is something unhealthy about management in managing the club.

However, I hope this is just my feeling, I hope the things I said above don't happen, and when Manchester United retained Erik Ten Hag it was purely because they had evaluated it, not because of anything else.

Roman Abramovich succeeded in transforming Chelsea become a strong team and can win many trophies. That all happened not only because of the amount of money he had but because he is really sharp in seeing the situation and I think he has management that can be handled well. Abramovich has changed Chelsea in other ways. Perhaps he seems cruel by not giving many opportunities to coaches who don't live up to his expectations, but I think that's all he did because he really wanted Chelsea to be better and the fact, in that way, Chelsea can achieve their glory.

Abramovic's era is not only because he was able to provide a lot of money to make Chelsea at the top of the EPL. But he was highly critical of the coach's success in spending the money he gave. When Chelsea performance declined, it didn't take long for Abramovic to make the decision to dismiss the coach. when Chelsea failed to get a trophy in 2 consecutive seasons, Abramovic no longer needed the coach and replaced him. Abramovic is not only the owner but also a good decision maker, so that Chelsea remains in the top tier of the EPL standings during his era.

That means that management must make the best decision before taking action and they have made a breakthrough that actually makes Chelsea more Setting down. When viewed from the four coaches who have handled Chelsea, Pochetinno became the best and might take him time to make Chelsea stronger. Now another step is being taken by finding a replacement figure of Pochetinno and I doubt they get a commensurate replacement.

Not many clubs in the Premier League provide opportunities for coaches and they only look at the short -term process before the coach is fired. Whereas in the English League the competition is very different because the lower -board team could have defeated the top team even though they have a more reliable coach.
