In fact, the AS Roma management was in a hurry to make a decision to fire Jose Morinho, but this unsatisfactory ending was not entirely De Rossi's fault, because De Rossi also had not asked about the players he wanted so that the game De Rossi wanted would be carried out according to his wishes. Indeed, he fired Morinho. You could say it was rushed, simply because Morinho was unable to bring Roma to compete for the Italian Serie A title.

However, if you look at it, this is not entirely De Rossi's fault, he has not been able to bring in players who suit his game, this is one of the reasons why De Rossi has not been able to give his best for AS Roma.

The value of 200 Million Euros that PSG mentions makes me want to laugh and it seems like that's just a consolation for themselves. We all know that Real Madrid clearly offered 200 million euros to recruit Mbappe 2 years ago but PSG flatly rejected those fantastic offers, and I think that is a big loss for PSG. If only PSG accepted an offer from Real Madrid at that time, obviously there would be 400 Million Euros (200 Million from Real Madrid, and 200 Million for Mbappe's salary plan) which PSG could use to sign lots of good players. It seems that PSG is not very good at playing business in football.

PSG is now targetting osimhen and kvarat. Since the club has said that if they saved up to 200 millions from offering mbappe's new contract and the club is now trying to reinvest their money again to buy the new players. As far as i know if napoli keen to sell osimhen but it's still negative for kvarat.

According to reports, the president of Partinopei is preparing a new contract for Kvarat and it will be a long term contract. This effort being taken in order to protect him from other club. It does not yet explain what will happen with Osimhen's future in napoli. AFAIK, Osimhen has been heavily linked with several clubs, but he has shown no signs of leaving the club and this makes me believe that if a surprise will come during the summer transfer season.

It will surprise many people if Osimhen leaves at the end of the season. Napoli hopes to extend Kvarat's stay at the club. I believe missing osimhen or kvarat will be disastrous for Partinopei.
It should be noted that if Napoli opens the door for PSG to sign Kvarat, the club must price him higher than 120 million euros. That's a lot of money just to sign a player who we don't know if he'll fit in at PSG.

If PSG decides to sign all of them at once, it will be another risky move.

everyone knows how much Klopp meant during his tenure as coach with Liverpool, always providing good things in terms of player management and bringing in new players who were very appropriate and all the achievements that Liverpool achieved were part of Klopp hard work and in fact his departure will make the entire Liverpool team feel sad because finding a replacement coach who can make a contribution like Klopp is very difficult.
and I seem to agree with you that Klopp will likely take a short break for at least one season to take time to let go of the boredom of being a coach with Liverpool and choose to leave football for one season.
but it all depends on what Klopp goals are in the future and if lots of big teams give him offers, I think he will also accept the offer because as a professional coach getting offers from big teams is one of the challenges that must be done.

Indeed in this season Liverpool not winning any trophy yet but Jurgen Klopp keep become the most successful manager for Liverpool after winning Premier League and UEFA Champion League trophies. Jurgen Klopp have final decision for leaving Liverpool in this season and have been manager for the Kop since 2015 and more than seven season keep loyal for Liverpool.

Actually, Liverpool has chance for winning Europe League but inconsistency performance made failed reach to final round after eliminating by Atalanta on quarter final, in domestic league loss points on many crucial matches make the Kop have to finish on 3rd standings after remaining many points behind Arsenal and Manchester City. Premier League has one match left and Liverpool's manager still not announce yet who will replace Jurgen Klopp position and become The Kop manager for next season.

Yes, I really do agree to your sentiment here, jose Mourinho was the one that rebuilt As Roma and make them to be more competitive as they are right now, in the past two seasons that he was the manager of As Roma, he took them to two European finals, uefa Europa league finals and uefa conference cup finals, so that shows that he is truly a winner, I know that his haters would say that his team are always defensive, but that's not true, they are actually more attacking than most people makes it looks like.

Though of a truth, De Rossi has really tried in what he has done in the absence of jose Mourinho, but I really do think that they can't be that competition as they were, when jose Mourinho was still the manager of the club.

If look at the improvement in performance, I would say that this season Nunez is much better than last season, and his performance is not that bad either.
If you compare him with Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo who are both strikers, Nunez quality is much better and we can see this from how Nunez has scored goals and assists for Liverpool over the past two season.
But if say the best performance in contributing to Liverpool success, there is only one, namely Salah, there is no other player in the Liverpool squad who is able to surpass Salah contribution performance.

It just that everything is the decision of the team management and also the coach who will lead Liverpool, we all know that Klopp will leave and the way of playing strategy and the composition of the players will also be different when the new coach is there.

Yes, it all just rumors and no one knows what it will be like, when it comes to Barcelona I think they can get Nunez.
But we know that Barcelona is in financial problems but there is news that they have the option to sell one of player at fairly high price at the end of the season.
For clearer certainty, we have to see it directly and wait for the time to come, otherwise we cannot know the real truth.

Klopp is one of the best managers and Liverpool fans along with Liverpool team management Liverpool players will always respect this manager. He has been responsible for this club for a long time and he has done this without interruption so when he leaves the responsibility of this club this season he will definitely not take responsibility of another club this season maybe he will give time to his family. After giving time to his family, he may again choose a new club and start a new life there. Klopp is certainly a familiar face to those of us who follow European football, so I have heaps of respect for this manager.

AS Roma board was selfish enough to dismissed one of the top ranking coach from their team and had to settle for someone that's not even close to competing with José Mourinho for the title. It's vividly clear that José Mourinho build up AS Roma to become one of the fierce club in the Seria A and won them their first UEFEA Confernce League title and this was one of the significance changes brought by the magnificent coach that wasn't given a second chance to make things right for the club, I hopes Daniele De Rossi does.

I don't think Mourinho changed his tactics at Roma. Roma was still a very defensive team under Mourinho. While Mou was at Roma, you'll hardly see Roma attack in numbers, they're always conscious of the defense. This is a good way to play, but coaches these days have found a way to constantly have numbers in attack and always have numbers when defending and do both constantly.
Look at how Ancelotti's Real Madrid plays. They attack in full and defend in full, the same with Arterta's Arsenal and Pep's Man City. This kind of play makes the team score more goals because they attract more and since they defend together, they don't concede too much.

I think Mourinho needs to redefine his tactics. His team needs to attack more and he needs to learn how to hold the ball. You defend less when you have the ball. I'm not saying you should have the bulk of possession in the match, but at worst get up 40 percent possession. He's good with counter-attacking football so he should learn how to keep the ball while being direct.
His pattern of football is outdated and he'll always have trouble in any team he coaches playing football like that.

In my opinion, it does not make sense for a Turkish team to pay 15 Million Euros annually only to its coach and team. Fenerbahçe can easily buy some players for this transfer fee. Jose may be a very good coach, but he may be a name that may fall behind in the interests of the team. I don't think there will be a decrease in his salary either. It's not about the coach, it's about being successful in bringing good players to the team.

There is this post I saw somewhere how Real Madrid made a statement about Mbape back in 2012, that club has seen him as a potential and that was prophecized when he worn his first world club  at the age of 19 and almost won another one in 2022, now tell me which club wouldn't want to have such kind of guy in his team. Real Madrid has the money and that's why they have not relent in getting that guy to their club and for the fact that he was been maltreated in the beginning of the league made everything worse for PSG.


Perez was angry that time but I think they should understand him, a guy in such his age will pick money over anything because he is good and considering the fact that he is from France, he will be an hypocrite to leave his home club and go for another place when they even gave him a juicy contract.

I remember there were rumours that he might take charge of the French national team, maybe he's still waiting for an offer and that's why he's declining, I don't know, but overall I agree with you to some extent that his fame is due to his stellar Real Madrid squad and to see him coach another team, be it PSG or MJ, would be interesting

Besides Keylor Navas is no longer in the prime age, Keylor Navas won't have a chance to play regularly there because PSG already has many goalkeepers now. It is the right decision to leave because he is better to move to the team that can offer more time to play for him. Sure, Keylor Navas only can play 2-3 years again, he probably considers to retire. You're right, SPL or MLS is a good option for him before he retires. I hope he will consider SPL, there should some Saudi teams which want to sign him and pay with a high salary.

Indeed. The departure of Mbappe will lead PSG to the new era. They may not rely on a single player anymore, they probably begin to focus on playing as a solid team. Luis Enrique doesn't want to worry anymore to rotate any player on the lineup of PSG. There is no more a special player in PSG, all of them have the same rights now. I assume this may bring a positive impact on PSG.

He is one of the top talents for France so they probably treat him like a 'god' there and wouldnt want another league to have him. Same situation happened before for Pele, he wasnt really allowed to move out of Brazil so he spent most of his time playing there although his talent far exceed the brazilian league standard so yeah this is pretty much the same thing with Mbappe.

He traded his chance to move to Real Madrid 2 years ago because he chose money over his career so this is his only chance to move out of Ligue or else he would waste all his potential by playing in that 'farmers' league

This was a rumor that I first couldn't believe, but now it turns out that it all was true I suppose.

They have been struggling in the recent weeks and months to find a great name as a coach for their team, but so many turned down the offer. Interesting to find out what their next step will be, but I am getting more and more convinced that they will revoke the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel.

That's a double-edged sword as on the one hand Tuche could see how they tried to find a different coach but they couldn't as Nagelsmann turned down the offer and Rangnick and now Glasner? At first I didn't even know who this guy is and then remembers him vaguely. Is that what Bayern realy wants? So Tuchel knows he is something like the last resort, which is never good because I think it hurts his auhtority from the get go. And when it doesn't work out well in the beginning, I can't imagine how the press will make a volcano out of every single bit that's going on. They will never be able to do their work without having explosives all around them.

PSG has the same team in it, if Killyan is there or not, they can't win the champion league. PSG has also tried big players like Messi, Neymar etc to win the Champions league, but nothing has changed, PSG is the same. The Ucl title is like that zero. Now the thing is that Killian Mbappe took the best step to leave PSG because he knew that even PSG could not become the UCL champion. Therefore he made the better decision that some other club could go and win UCL. And if I tell the truth, there is no better club than Real Madrid, they are the king of Europe,only they can fulfill Killyan Mbappe's dream, i.e., winning the Champion League. Ballon Dor win can also be achieved by UCL winning. Therefore, Killyan Mbappe has wanted to leave PSG and some media sources have indicated that the contract between Real Madrid and Killyan Mbappe has already been decided, but now it depends on Killyan Mbappe when he wants to make it an official in public.

However, Zidane has proven his capacity when managing Real Madrid, but he has not been proven to handle other teams.  It is not an easy matter for a coach to handle a team that is inhabited by big name players, there is competition in the dressing room. The player's ego must be overcome by the coach, and Zidane is able to handle it well. Unfortunately, Zidane is not or is not yet willing to handle a club he wants to handle. Even though there are many rumors linking him with several elite European teams, until now Zidane is not ready to step up and become a coach at a club. Maybe, he doesn't want to anymore or maybe he just wants to train according to the club he wants. Or maybe right now he doesn't want it yet, but it could be possible later. either which club he will coach, or not at all.

As for Manchester United, this season has been bad for them. I don't know whether Ten Hag will be fired or not. However, I agree with what Roy Keane, one of the legends of The Red Devil, said. In Kane's eyes, Ten Hag needs to be given more time. According to him, United's downturn this season is not solely Ten Hag's fault. The unfortunate situation where a storm of injuries continues to hit the team is the main factor.  plus, some other problems. I don't know whether Ten Hag is still trusted or not, but even if United changes coach, it's not certain that The Red Devil will immediately bounce back.
As for Zidane, it is clear that he is not willing or maybe there is actually no offer between the club and Zidane. after all, everything is based on rumors which are not necessarily true. We'll see what United will do next summer.

Well, that's one way to make sure that he does not go anywhere else. They are definitely not going to pay that much money for him. If they actually pay that much money, it is going to be stupid. I think Crystal Palace have asked for that much money because they know that nobody is actually going to pay that amount. Except for Manchester United, I guess. Because they can do anything at any given moment. They literally asked for more than 5 and a half times the money that they were offered. I think for that amount of money Bayern Munich can also find better alternatives as well. So there is no reason for Bayern Munich to actually move ahead with this deal. And I believe they did the right thing by ending all negotiations.

Aziz Yıldırım, who announced his candidacy for Fenerbahçe presidency, announced that he met with Jose Mourinho. During his previous presidency, Aziz Yıldırım had transferred footballers such as Anelka and Alex. He is a person who likes to bring world-class star names to the team. He can also bring Jose Mourinho to the team. However, the annual fee demanded by Jose Mourinho seemed too high to me. No Turkish club has ever paid such an annual fee to a technical director before. If we pay 15 million euros to Jose Mourinho and his technical team, how will we finance new transfers? There is no doubt that Jose Mourinho is one of the best managers in the world, but I think we have to make a proper financial planning.
