  • Welcome to The Athletic FC's UA-cam channel, where best-in-class journalism meets video.
    This season we’ve seen a historic low of managers being sacked from the Premier League and also Bayern Munich’s extraordinary (and still ongoing) manager search. Why aren’t managers being fired mid-season anymore? And why is it so hard to find a manager for an elite club?
    Joe Devine, JJ Bull and Jon Mackenzie are joined by Seb Stafford-Bloor to find out why the manager transfer market is so weird right now.
    This is The Athletic's Week in Football.

    One issue I've noticed creeping into football, it's certainly creeped into the fandom, is a compulsion to take on managers with the least baggage possible. Everyone wants someone fresh, it's why young managers like Slot & Amorim are hotter properties than they perhaps should be while experienced managers like Tuchel are being overlooked by many. It's becoming not dissimilar to boxing, regardless of your record if you've suffered a few KO's you're seen as damaged goods. The natural by product of this is no-one's being seen as a "safe" choice, which in turn is seeing owners playing the odds & not make rash changes as much as they used too.
    There's also rather messed up (imo) evaluations of how managers are being perceived right now. As fans are becoming more & more demanding about style of football they want to see, managers with creative attacking ideas are being disproportionately valued over ones who seek ultimate balance - which is you know, the entire point of having a good manager! We're living in a football landscape where Tuchel is being viewed as "negative" & therefore "pasted it", someone like Conte too, while managers like Ange are being labelled "progressive". It's getting to the point where Bielsa might as well not be called the crazy one anymore, he's just what normal is now lol

    • @arvin9425
      @arvin9425 11 днів тому +17

      I don't think you're fully right here, managers like klopp and especially Ange recently have been criticised for the amount of goals theyre conceding and their weaknesses in defense. The other reason creative attacking managers are seen as more favourable currently is because even midtable teams nowadays are structured well, have physically adept players, and keep a compact shape. It's going to be difficult to break them down unless you have a creative attacking manager.
      A balanced manager is ideal, so I'm not sure where you've got the idea that balanced managers are being negatively looked upon. The reason tuchel is being looked down upon is because he didn't even get close to winning the bundesliga despite having by far the most talented and expensive squad in Germany. Even still, he gets a lot of praise for his management of knockout tournaments (beat arsenal and was 5 minutes away from beating real Madrid). I've also seen some sensible united fans saying that tuchel would be a good manager to bring in for ten hag.

    For all the reasons you listed why De Zerbi is currently struggling is exactly why he shouldn't go to Utd. What's even more absurd is that the suggested alternative is to search for the next Ferguson when you conveniently forget to mention that Ferguson finished 11th(2times), 13th and 6th position in his first 5 years as a manager. Ten Hag at 8th place after suffering the worst injury crisis in Utd's modern history puts into perspective that he might not be the failure you're painting him to be.

    The reason is simple - Apart from Man City, every club is in a "process". Owners have got more intelligent and rational imo. It's like every manager has his ideas and if they stay long enough to implement it completely and buy players accordingly, it's surely will mean progress as opposed to sacking a manager to bring a new manager for "positive impact".
    Again, people might disagree but if Man United and Chelsea sack ETH and Poch respectively, then the new managers might have a "+ve impact" for the next season but then it would again crash down due to no cohesion in plans and linearity. So, United & Chelsea might be/should think about actually sticking with one manager to "stabilise" because even Pep isn't winning PL with those squads right!?
    It's no rocket science that the title challengers this season have the longest serving managers because it's much much better to have a squad aligned to a style and identity as opposed to a manager because managers change, the identity imprint remains. And, how to imprint that style (unless you aren't Barcelona or Ajax), by sticking to a manager. This is what the club boards have been thinking.
    For eg. If ETH is sacked and Tuchel is brought in, he will have Van Gaal's, Ole's, Jose's and ETH's players at his disposal, and still he would demand his own. That smells a recipe for failure. So, it would be wise to stick to ETH, buy players suited to him and have the "overall squad" to be "aligned" to one style and then bring in a "similar style" of manager if he isn't leading to success. This applies heavily to Man United but also to other clubs. That's why Liverpool went for Arne Slot because he "aligns more" to want Klopp's imprint has been.
    I mean one would like to take a constant road uphill to the highest peak with few bumps rather than keep going on small peaks before finding yourself on the highest. (if we assume peak is winning titles).

      @@user-zc2sz1os3j Having 9 players of his and keep having those 9 players for a string of games is VERY DIFFERENT. It's not that hard to get all your players behind the ball and just hope to get chances on the counter, but fans wouldn't be okay with that as well. If you do hear his interview with Neville, he tried to explain that it wouldn't be wise to completely change your tactics acc to injured players because once they come back, it is difficult to get back to what you were doing earlier. Palace defeat was clearly on ETH being less pragmatic BUT ALSO on the players who absolutely gave up. My opinion is not that ETH is the perfect manager and he is of least fault, it's only that blaming everything on him isn't right. Sacking him is not the solution, unless fans want the short term success of UCL football for next season and then go downhill again in 25/26.

    With regards the United job, the timing of it makes it even more complicated. All these new people coming in at the top of the club, would it really be wise to rush into getting someone now who 6 months down the line, after they've all had time to become more embedded in the club, they realise isn't the right person for the direction they want to take the club and they end up in the same situation? Would it not be smarter to give EtH another season, who may benefit from the new set up btw, and that gives all the new people time to hash out a long term plan without feeling the need to rush into something that could be less than ideal.

    The sport used to rely on intellectual brilliance much more back in the day, when now it requires a baseline endurance, and the lack of new quality managers nowadays correlates with that.
    Wouldn't be surprised to see a club or two have a charismatic genius, who never played the sport before, shadow a good manager to learn how to be a manager, like Arteta 'bar the playing experience'. Could total see a lower table team take a punt on a well verse genius even though he never played, and if the fee is 1 million that is an easy profit.

At the end of the day, when a top 6 team loses a few games now or start poorly, they are nearly completely out of the title race. So just like in Germany where Bayern are(were) the dominate team, so long as you're not missing out on Europe, there is no point in sacking your manager until the end of season assessment.
    Then also just like in other teams where there are the same 1/2 teams dominating, to break that mould, you need a project where you take a bad season or two and now the prem top 6/8 are having to adopt this, so that they can try and break the city monopoly that they have on the league.

    I think it would be best for a big club to come in for De Zerbi this summer really. That culture across the club through players and staff of people being picked off the top when good enough, and someone else coming through in the system, feels like it's reaching that point with him.
    Would rather that than things going sour next season if he keeps underperforming (relative to how phenomenally he has otherwise performed).

In the starting 11 there are 2-3 players left that can make a longer pass and one of them is Onana. Last year we had Shaw, Martinez, Eriksen, Bruno and Casemiro making great long passes in behind. This year there is only Bruno left out of them. Shaw and Martinez are injured the whole season, Eriksen can't run after the Andy Carroll tackle with Mainoo playing ahead of him anyway and Casemiro decides not to be able to play football anymore.

This won't even necessarily improve United as the players don't seem to run and press very much but it would certainly spark new debate about how it's a disgrace that United parks the bus against "leser" teams. So. Playing towards the strengths of players left - "absolute disgrace, parking the bus against Palace, that's not why he was brought in to do, sack ten Hag".

    I called the Arteta Effect.
    Arsenal had a lot patience with Arteta, and its now finally showing.
    Other clubs are starting to notice it.
    They know if they don't let those managers actually start a project, they will never catch to Man City, even if it means 3-4 season of bad results.
    But perhaps Pochettino can pull an Arteta at Chelsea, or Ange and Spurs or even Eddie Howe are Newcastle.
    Clubs are shifting priorities.
    Before a manager started having problems with a top player (Mourinho vs Pogba) they would sack the manager.
    But that is the dumb choice.
    Sure it saves more money than having to pay wages for a player that the manager wont play and wants to sell.
    But in the long term it allows the manager to start building the team to his vision.
    I mean we all play FM, we know its impossible to succeed in a single season.

    I hoped JJ would touch on the drop in Scottish managers in the league. Over a decade ago, there were as many as 5 or 6. In fact some of greatest managers in the English game have been Scottish. But next season depending on what happens with Moyes, there might be none. Odd because the foreign country with the most managers in the EPL is Scotland with 35 (Spain next with 15).
    By the way why is Inzaghi never ever mentioned on these lists of managers? So weird. De Zerbi I suspect some of the concerns are more off the field rather than his tactics. He does seem to be fairly volatile.
    I found it interesting that Carragher over the seasons has criticised United for hiring and buying based on popularity rather than using a methodological approach. And yet when Liverpool used that approach with Slot, he was unhappy and wanted them to hire Tuchel, a big name. Even though it's pretty clear to anyone with half a brain that Tuchel and Liverpool's owners would be a disaster. That's why these pundits should never really be allowed to manage or run clubs.

This with Spurs spending heavily in this season. I really wonder why people criticize Mourinho and Conte so heavily, but not Ange.
      Regarding Tuchel, I do not see why he would not be a good fit for Liverpool. It is much more probable that Slot does not suceed in a bigger club with more pressure playing a league that is much harder than Eredivisie.

      @luizhumbertocampos1103 who said anything about results? I will repeat what I said, the former managers were never a good fit with the ownership. It didn't need a rocket scientist to tell you that a manager like Conte who regularly complains about spending wasn't going to do well with a chairman like Levy who is notorious for being tight with the finances.
      Similar issue with Tuchel. He is keen to very publicly speak his opinion about ownership and lack of spending. That will not work with FSG so it would be a bad fit. Doesn't matter how superior you are as a tactician, there's more to football management that just simply what you do on the pitch. Look at Klopp, Pep, Ancelloti, Inzaghi. How often do you see interviews from them publicly complaining about spending. Now contrast that to Tuchel and Conte. There's a reason why those two change jobs every couple of years. In fact I'd even go as far and say Liverpool would have hired Tomas Frank over Tuchel and Conte.

      @@JR-sj1jz Most of your examples do not make sense. It would simply be ridiculous for Guardiola, that managed only great teams like Barcelona, Bayern and City to complain about spending. Of course he is a great manager, but always managed squads with world class players.
      Regarding Ancelotti, he always already had a good squad or at least the club was spending heavily (Everton was not a great squad, but they spent heavily under his tenure, to give you an example).
      Klopp was always backed by the board. Liverpool this season had 111 million net spent to improve an already good team. Of course he managed smaller clubs in Germany, but in these cases he knew he couldn't complain. Even Mourinho did not complain about spending when he managed União Leiria and Porto.
      The same for Conte, that did not complain when he was managing smaller Italian sides with modest expectations. The question is that renowed managers will expect to have a good squad or, if the team is not good, that the board will invest heavily to improve it.
      The only example you give that fits your point is Simone Inzaghi. However, we must consider that he arrived to Inter fully aware of the club's financial problems. He also was not a big name at the time, despite a good job at Lazio.
      On Liverpool, it is good to remember that Tuchel did not have problems with Abramovich, a notorious hard man to work with. Problems arised with the board only with the change of ownership. At Bayern of course he failed. However, it is important to consider that the squad was aging and in need of a rebuild. This not to mention that the Bayern board is not easy to get with.
      I think he would do well at Liverpool, specially if they keep spending in the same level as the last seasons of Klopp's era. It is important to contextualize things and not just say "manager X is problematic, complains a lot and would not get along with the board".
      Arne Slot can be sucessful, but this is much more uncertain than if the manager was Tuchel. We saw what happened to coachs like Frank de Boer, Laudrup, Ten Hag and Ronald Koeman.
