Carlo Ancelotti

Drawn against Udinese today. 1-1

Had 70% possession, 18 shots at goal, yet only 3 on target!

I don't know how that's possible with players like Mertens, Lozano and Callejon.

They must have the finishing skills of Niasse!

I doubt anyone actually knows, but my Napoli supporting friend has said much of the squad has begun acting like knobheads (maybe understandably) after the board's weekend practice/retreat demands.

Didn’t some of the players houses get stormed by fans or was that another Italian team?

I think that's correct.

Could resign or be sacked even if they qualify after tonight (which they should).

This move would have made sense around the time we picked koeman. not sure he is the right guy now but what do I know!

Issued a come and get me plea today.

Come on Moshiri you turd stop sniffing around Pereira's jock strap and get a proper WINNER in.

I'm not sure if Dunc has his UEFA Pro License, I read that he does and posted here previously but on further inspection he only has a UEFA A, one below the Pro License which means he can only take over the club for 12 weeks maximum.

Gets us into March. Breathing room for the donuts in charge.

A no brainer to get this guy in, head and shoulders above any other candidate linked.

Predictably, you’ll still find that some of our fan base will discover a reason for why we shouldn’t employ him. For me, he’s in the top, top bracket!

Benvenuto.

Would prefer him to Vitor. But does he still have fire in his belly?

 

[Brisan123]

Id still prefer Gallardo...young and hungry and a tactical genius.

Still on the youth trip Zat

Ancelotti's managerial career has been highly successful, and he is generally acclaimed as one of the best managers in the sport. Still, there are some countervailing opinions; notably, a 2019 study that compared managers by how well their teams did compared to video game simulations of teams with the same players ranked Ancelotti as 395th out of 396 managers. This was not because Ancelotti did poorly, but rather that given the star-filled teams he has managed, he should have done even better according to the survey.

Managers in football matter much less than most fans think

They struggle to sustain success when switching clubs

I’ve seen it all now.
So what you do on FIFA is more important than winning multiple leagues and cups in multiple countries

That was actually an issue at Bayern, not that he didn't turn up, but that the players felt they where not being trained hard enough! Which is one of various reasons they complained to the hierarchy at Bayern, and ended up getting him fired.

Get big Dunc to run the man spheres off them during training
