Re: The Official Managerial Transfer Rumours and News Thread

Anyway according Gazzetta dello Sport Leonardo Jardim will be new manager of Monaco.

So realistically I don't see other solutions for Conte. Imo he remains to Juve

I'm telling you... if Madrid lose to Atleti in a poor manner in the CL Final, Carlo is gone. He won't survive.

So what do people who have followed Zidane more think: Is he interested in moving to management or quite happy to stay in his relatively easy and less-pressure job as Madrid's assistant coach / sporting director? I'm just thinking that if he wanted to move to management, wouldn't he have done it already?

He's already said he wants to be a coach.  He was already a director at Madrid for 2 years and he didn't like it...  He went to grad school in France to get his coaching license and he got it this past year. He didn't want to get into management until he felt ready. So he got the formal schooling + he observed Carlo for a year. That's how Zidane is... he doesn't cut corners. He puts in the work before taking the plunge. Even as a player, he was the hardest worker on the team both during the season and in the off season. Very professional guy.

It won't happen anyway.

I also wouldn't rule out becoming Italy NT coach if the NT flops during the WC...

I don't believe it is his ambition now, he wants the Champions League

[Tomwin Lannister]

Conte is allegedly clashing with the directors over transfer targets/budget size. So I doubt at this stage in his career he wants to leave club level all together and manage a National team through a period of qualifiers.

Maybe it'd be tempting a year or so before a World Cup, but now? Nah.

[Robespierre]

According Gazzetta dello Sport (Laudisa's tweet now ) there is optimism by Juve to keep Conte. The mediation is working.

I repeat my idea : Conte did all this so as to " put pressure" to Juve management for a good market, but never real possibilities to leave Juve with no intriguing opportunities on market for him ( United-Van Gaal, Monaco -Jarmin , PSG - Blanc etc)

[Tomwin Lannister]

Yeah a lot of people think that now

The fans are going mad over it publicly and Conte probably anticipated that.

No better way to pressure a board than having the masses of fans backing you up.

If he criticised the Directors privately, he would be made out to be the bad guy. But doing it publicly and having the fans backing can help him greatly.

I just hope we invest properly this Summer rather than wait another year for our new sponsors to kick in. Nothing ridiculous, just somebody like Sanchez, a few proper bench upgrades who are also at a decent age, a Left back and somebody like Nani to top it all off

Carlo won't want a £25 budget and a squad like that surely.

It's interesting.  Bielsa and his staff are also taking over the training of all the top youth prospects of OM.  The summer training under Bielsa for these kids starts next Wednesday or Thursday (CFA2, U19 and U17) where he is looking to ascertain the potential of the kids.  One of his assistants, Diego Reyes, is already at his post in Marseille setting everything up and Bielsa is expected to officially take over on Monday.

He's completely revamping all of OM.... taking over all levels of the club and setting up his own method of youth development and training.

Where is he going!!!

[rwo power]

Well, there is no statement yet as to where Murat Yakin might go. His contract is officially dissolved, so he can go wherever he wants. I read some faint rumour connecting him with Eintracht Frankfurt, but that was a while ago and before he was fired.

Similarly, there is no idea yet who will follow him at Basel.

The Bordeaux deal is getting closer for Zidane. In order to create funds for the club, Zidane has asked his good friend, Frank Riboud president of Danone, to sign a big marketing deal with the club. The money from that partnership would be used solely to sign players. We're talking 60 mil euros a year according to rumors.

Getting close.

I remember you Spanish ppl have often got on nerves to us before of 2008 for this fact ( as Zamora not available in Italy 38)
Tassotti is former Lazio too , as Luis Enrique former Roma, it's evidently destiny both must collide each other
