That's the expectation that all the management and the fans have. All the new coaches can't guarantee he'll be good. We can only see how history he has made. So I think whoever Bayern Munich coach has the same expectations, there will definitely be pressure for a new coach. If it fails then actually Munich have set an example for Tuchel, they can immediately change another new coach. As a new coach I don't see him badly. He has a wide and long range, he can lift Barcelona to the better and I think people have understood.

I agree that Xabi will be wanted a lot, but I still warn all these big clubs to be careful anyway. Yes, Xabi is a great manager so far, but he hasn't been a great manager for way too long, he hasn't been even a manager for too long, he has been good for just a while.

This means that if you give him so much responsibility with such a huge club. I get that Bayern would make sense, and yet we need to remember that he is not really that long on his journey and Bayern seems to be bad this season, so he would be required to take over this summer, if he wants to make some moves then make some moves, and suddenly take Bayern back to top again, what if he fails? It's a possibility and he might fail, that's why we need to let him make some mistakes.

Yes, and the one who feels the most difficulty is the team not the player, because the player moved to get what he wanted, moreover this move was also one of Mbappe personal wishes, so PSG won't be able to do much.
Moreover, the transfer is due to completed contract, this makes it easier for Mbappe to go to any team he wants and this condition is different from the previous season where Mbappe was under pressure to have contract extension and an unreasonable selling price.
So many dramas have previously occurred that made things difficult for Mbappe, we also see that Mbappe is really like player who is full of pressure.

Next season, Mbappe will have freedom and of course he wants to be able to play with team that can win the most prestigious title in European competition, namely the UCL, and he decided to join Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is the only most successful team with the most titles and of course players wants to be able to join Real Madrid and win these titles.
PSG decision to replace Mbappe with Lamine Yamal is really surprising, but I think gave such big price because they are currently in player crisis.
Sale of Lamine Yamal for very large price could give Barcelona the resources to be able to bring in players of good quality, they will not waste this opportunity.

Agreement is really close because this season is almost over, we can soon see Real Madrid again having very strong performance with Mbappe.
We will see Real Madrid in condition like some season ago when Ronaldo was still there.

I also want Xabi to stay in the Bundesliga, helping this championship become stronger to counterbalance other national leagues, making matches between clubs more attractive. If Xabi comes to the Premier League, this will obviously be good news for fans of this championship, but this tournament has gathered too many good coaches, causing the gap between the Premier League and the other to widen. Coming to Bayern, Xabi will have a squad and economic potential better. In addition, Xabi already understands German football quite well, helping him to better develop his abilities. Another small factor is that Xabi and his family will not have to change their accommodation if they continue to stay in Germany, this is also a small plus point for Bayern.

As for Michel, I haven't spoken about him yet but it is certain (as far as I've read) that Chelsea made him an offer but the coach rejected the Blues' proposal and said he intends to at least fulfill his contract with Girona until 2026. ... will he "withstand" the pressure until then? I don't think so!

Even if Girona is the club that "revealed" Michel's full potential as a coach, I believe that his quick fame will undermine this current contract.

And I say this with confidence because in addition to the Blues, it seems that Barcelona are also keeping an eye on Michel, as they need to find candidates to take over from Xavi at the end of the season. I also read rumors that Manchester City are watching his movements closely to see if he could be a replacement for Pep Guardiola.

Anyway... the harassment by Michel will be great.

That's right, one season is not enough to prove that his skills are really good, either Xabi or Michel need to maintain their performance in the next season. Meanwhile, if Xabi decides to stay in the Bundesliga, especially with Leverkusen, I think he will find it difficult to surpass the record he created, especially if he goes one full season undefeated.

Likewise with Michel, he will face many challenges next season, especially if Girona appears in the Champions League. It's not an easy job balancing teams in two of the most competitive competitions, it's clear things will be very different from this season. Overall, Xabi and Michel deserve appreciation, after successfully managing their fleet well.

Regarding the future of both of them, I believe that many clubs will be interested in recruiting them, and I believe that both of them will become successful managers in the future. If they join a big club, they could be successful every season, because squad depth plays an important role in winning the championship trophy.

The issue of Mbappe will leave PSG is clear, he has no intention to stay longer with PSG. His contract expires and he doesn't agree for an extension. He only has an option to leave PSG in the next transfer window. Sure, Real Madrid is the team that has the biggest chance to sign Mbappe. I even read some articles that stated Mbappe already got a personal agreement with Real Madrid management.

Since Mbappe will leave PSG, PSG must try to get a new striker. Osimhen should be a perfect replacement for Mbappe. But I'm not really sure it will be easy to sign Osimhen because he is also linked with many top teams in Europe. He is rumored to move to EPL, Chelsea becomes the team that is very serious to sign him. But I doubt it, Osimhen must think twice to join Chelsea. He must prefer to join Liverpool, Man United, or Arsenal.

I doubt if De Bruyne wants to move to Saudi league. De Bruyne must prefer to stay in Man City. He still becomes a very important player in Man City squad. I think Man City management won't try to let De Bruyne leaves Man City. His role is very crucial for Man City squad.

As much as everything shows that Mbappe would be heading to Madrid, I won't believe the rumors until it finally happens. We have seen these things happen for the past 2 summer transfer window so I don't believe much of what I read regarding Mbappe.
It's not news that Madrid wants him and he wants Madrid, but PSG might be ready to do whatever they can to keep him just as they did last year.

Osimhen to PSG is a good move I'd Mbappe leaves. Osimhen would be their main man and he would also score a lot of goals for them. He obviously won't b able to carry the team the way Mbappe did, by if they build their team well they won't need to rely on one person.
If Osimhen can't go to Arsenal, I think PSG is not a bad destination.

I don't know if this year was a chance for Michel or if he will be successful again in the future. I think if they achieve such success again, then it might be right to talk about the best thoughts. I have similar thoughts about Xabi. It is not right to generalize the success of a single season. How he does next year will determine his career. If he is good next year, then a great coaching career could happen for Xabi.

It is indeed a strategically interesting construct what they are building. Not only do they have all these clubs around the world, but also are they building these ties with scouting agencies and so on and so forth. They are building academies for young players as well. All of that can feed the biggest clubs they have with the best talents while players that are not immediately making it, can be sent to the other clubs for development. It would be interesting to know what the long term plans are for Girona and whether there is a hidden plan that one day Guardiola is going to have a say there. It would be a small project, but one that he could help develop from the ground up. But maybe it is nothing he wants to do.

The loses from Udinese is really not acceptable for the fans and Maurizio Sarri always be blamed which what happend to Lazio now and indeed after finish at runner up place last season the fans is really expect Lazio under Maurizio Sarri can able to resumes their good performance but unfortunately lost some players last summer is greatly affect to Lazio performance and Lazio current situations is they have failed on Champion League and in Serie A Lazio only can occupy 9th place with only collect 40 points from 28 matches but Lazio still have any chances to gets the trophy from Copa Italy and indeed their chances to repeat last season achievement will be very hard even potentially Lazio will not playing at European Competitions for next season

Basically Lazio owner didn't sacked Maurizio Sarri because they still give any chances for Maurizio Sarri to at least being an Lazio manager until end of this season but indeed Maurizio Sarri feels he failed to bring Lazio to play well so that's why he was decide to withdraw from his position and about Maurizio Sarri replacement currently Lazio management still considering several candidate such as Tommaso Rocchi, Miroslav Klose, and Cristian Brocchi and we all know all of them is Lazio legend but from all of these candidates reported Lazio probably will choose Miroslav Klose and it says both representative still under negotiation and talking about contract durations

The rumors are swirling about Xabi Alonso potentially returning to Bayern Munich, where he enjoyed a successful playing career. However I still think he should stay in Leverkusen for at least another season. He build this amazing team and Leverkusen will have millions of additional money for their trophies they probably win and the CL qualification. This will allow them to hold the player and to further strengthen the team with new signings. Xabi is currently the king in Leverkuasen, so he gets all the freedom for planning the new season. In Bayern he will be more tied.

What for? I think it is not a must to repeat it. Even if he stays in Leverkusen and still has the same squad. It doesn't mean the chance to win the title of Bundesliga will be the same as the current season. Bayern Munich may improve their squad and gets a new coach. Their performance can be better in the next season. Also, other teams in Bundesliga can be stronger in the next season, too. The situation won't remain the same, the chance to win the title of Bundesliga can be different.

By the way, Xabi already proved his quality in many matches. Leverkusen can be in the 1st place of Bundeslige isn't by coincidence. You must know that Leverkusen is also very strong in Europa League. I think it is enough as the proof of Xabi's quality!

Miguel? 
Why you compare him with other people?
You can't compare it with no detailed data. You don't explain anything with that comparison.

well, Maurizio Sarri is no longer Lazio's coach, with the bad results that Lazio is having this was inevitable that it would happen, currently Lazio is in position number 9 which in my opinion is not a bad position, but the problem is that last season lazio was in a much better position than it is now and this must have made lazio directors think that things need to change or else lazio will be far from European competitions and to make matters worse in the last 5 games lazio only had 1 victory which leads the management to think that if they don't change coaches then Lazio could end up in a worse position

Now we have to wait for Lazio's next coach, I don't know if things will change with a new coach, and the fact is that this season the 3 big teams are remaining firm at the top, I'm talking about Inter, Milan and Juventus. So Lazio has no chance of finishing in second or third place in the table. At most, Lazio will only fight for position 4, which won't be easy either, because there are Bologna, Roma and Napoli in contention. In any case, it will be interesting to watch this fight for position 4 and the places for access to the European League and Conference League.

Celta Vigo's situation is very serious, they are very close to the relegation zone and the way things are it was predictable that coach Rafa Benitez would be fired, he is a great coach who in my opinion should choose top teams With enough funds to hire good players, being a coach of a small or medium-sized team is not an easy task because the team's budget is very limited and the team's management wants the coaches to perform miracles of getting the team into relevant positions in the table, but they don't look at the investments that those teams that are in the relevant positions made to be in those positions. and when the team is close to the relegation zone or fails to stay in the position that the club's management wants, then they fire the coach. In this case, Celta Vigo only won 5 games in 28 games. the next coach will need to work miracles

Bayern Munich poor performance this season does require Munich management to find a new coach solution next season, among all the existing coaches so far Xabi Alonso is a candidate who continues to be linked to become the next coach at Bayern Munich, the success obtained with Leverkusen is certainly an attraction for Munich management to make their coach next season despite the lack of experience he has so far in my opinion.

I think if Munich sign Xabi Alonso next season is like a gamble, indeed we cannot deny that this season Alonso gives a new color to the Bundesliga competition but I think maybe it will be difficult for Alonso to repeat it next season if he becomes Bayern Munich coach, coaching big teams and small teams are two very different things, because both teams also have different ambitions, burdens and targets to be met by coaches and I think the pressure obtained by big team coaches sometimes actually makes coaches unable to bring out their abilities to the maximum because they are constrained by the strict rules that apply in the team, besides that if Alonso later coaches Munich of course he must be able to tame the egos of the star players he has and certainly it is not an easy thing,  It's different when he coaches Leverkusen, the majority of whom are ordinary players.

It’s all but confirmed that Mbappe will be heading to Madrid except there is a twist In the saga which I don’t expect to happen. Yes the link between Madrid and Victor Oshimen is clear and genuine. They wanted Mbappe and a high profile young striker, while Halaand was there preferred choice it will be huge tussle to take him away from Manchester city. So Oshimen is a better back up choice and will definitely improve the team. With Osihmen and the young Endrick the striking line seems sorted out to me. The problem now will remain who needs to leave to allow balance in the wages, Rodrigo could be the player to be shown the exit door I think.

Anthony has yet to live up to expectations since his arrival at Manchester United, his career seems over especially with the use of Garnacho on his wing, so I am not surprised that United will have to cash on him but it will be at a great loss. The best thing i think is to loan him out to a premier league club to get regular football and probably it could be all he needs

It's a good option if their priority is still trying to extend the contracts of some important players but there are conditions where I don't really like it if they try to get rid of Diaz because after all it's a real difficult choice.

Indeed for this season there are some obstacles that Diaz has with personal problems such as injuries and family abductions before but indeed his contribution I think is still very necessary until now so if it is possible it would be better if they try to keep all the players who are likely still very useful including Diaz.

For Salah, it seems like it is a form of anticipation for his own benefit because by knowing who the coach Liverpool will bring in later and asking to stay safe in his squad if he survives then indirectly he wants a more secure future and I think it is still one of the smart ways to start talks about his future at Liverpool.

It's a clever move by the City Football Group as they always surprise with a small amount of money but the way they do it is clever. Instead of turning Girona into an instant hit they prefer a more conventional approach where starting from scratch is the way to go.
This season even if you look at Girona is one of the clubs in La Liga with the youngest age range because their players are on average 26.3 years old but their performance is more than expected especially in this season they always surprise us with excellent games and it was not even predictable before that Girona reached this point where they are still perched in the top 4.

Even though in recent weeks their performance has declined a bit and it's like running out of gas while racing but that doesn't reduce the praise for them who are still able to compete with some of the big clubs that subscribe to the top 4 each season.

Xabi Alonso is undoubtedly the best manager in all the leagues this season, but I think he needs to repeat the same success once again to prove himself. Actually, at this stage, I don't see any difference between Miguel and Xabi. I think the same about Victor Osimhen, last season he produced great stats but this season he hasn't produced great stats. So, to become an elite manager or an elite footballer, they need to produce good stats for several seasons. Already, we know them to be good managers and good footballers.

In fact, this situation is better for Michel because there is a general coach problem in Europe. Teams work with the same coaches over and over again, and these coaches often make similar mistakes. There are many alternatives for Michel and if he is successful in a team other than Girona, then he can become one of the elite level coaches. As for Xabi, he was a technical genius even as a football player. He was directing the game like a maestro. I expected him to be this successful in the technical booth. We are watching great management and player analysis from him. I think many coaches should take lessons from him.
