    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.

    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

            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.

                Did I say we went forward or did I just list some of the reasons why he left (because he wasn’t sacked).

                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).

    He has yet to coach a full season and still drastically improved a struggling Leverkusen side. If that ain’t worth the hype, what is?

    reminder that there is NO PRIMARY SOURCE for this and this information was deleted from SportBilds website. Take it with a grain of salt

    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.

    Gerrard had the massive fortune of Celtic absolutely collapsing after Rodger’s left mid season and gave the job to Neil Lennon. Won less trophies that season than St Johnstone did. His success in Scotland is massively overstated, almost everyone here thinks of his time here as a failure with a bright spot. While being near penniless, he managed to bring on a shit load of debt while raising the playing wage budget greater than celtics. Rangers are suffering for it now.

    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 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

    Alonso is good but he is no Imanol! I really don’t think La Real would change him for any coach in the world

    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.

    He promoted Real Sociedad B you know. He has shown incredible flexibility by going in from a fully defensive league to a full offensive league. He has shown he can play 3223,433 and his current 3412 seamlessly. He has studied under Mourinho at his peak, Pep and Ancelotti. He took Leverkusen last season from the end to where they should have been.

    In this season he has shown his flexibility and the ability to switch tactics on the fly and is undefeated everywhere, despite playing both RaBa and Bayern. It is obvious that he would slip in in January and February due to AFCON, but so far there is a lot to be hyped for.

    And well, Zidane dog walked everyone and he barely had any experience with senior sides aside from some experience as assistant manager when he started. Experience doesn’t equal tactical prowess.
