How do you rate Carlo so far overall for Real Madrid, and in his second tenure, AND this season? Do you want him to stay?

He's a great man manager, has good relations with everyone, doesn't stir fights in the locker room or pit players against each other like Mourinho used to but he can be tactically stubborn sometimes.

Overall i'd rate him 8 out of 10, he's arguably in the top 5 managers in our history in terms of trophy success.

Didn't know you prefer watching donkeys muling and braying about sports. donkey enthusiasts i swear. Can't even break the europa league stranglehold held by the mighty sevilla.
Best league in the world? Nah bruv. Best D o n k e y league in the world? Now that's more accurate.

World's best and it's not even close. Mentored Zidane too. Never wanted him to leave in the first place but bale screwed him during his first tenure. No reason for him to leave now. He is the Don for a reason. Especially with how miserly flo has been with transfers as of late, I don't think anyone else would have done better than what Carlo had been served this season when you consider there is no elite cf on the team.

He is IMO, the best manager out there bar none! It’s fabulous he is accepting a renewal.

This year, he is showing a great deal of flexibility and his ability to continue to get wins even though half of his starting lineup has been out for extended periods. For once the squad doesn’t have any deadwood and Carlo has confidence in all of them, regardless of age. He is also developing the kids both thru playing time and personal conversations. A lot of people including you have said Carlo wouldn’t do many of the things he is doing this year.

His providing advice and in some cases constructive criticism extends to entire squad regardless of age!

The priority at Madrid has always been the CL and rightfully so. These days it takes essentially 2 teams within squad to compete in all competitions. When you look at our injury list, it is remarkable how well he is doing.

Carlo said when he came up with the formation to suit Bellingham and the absence of a #9, that he had made mistakes in the past by not taking advantage of skills within squad. He sure is evolving. As I said earlier i think at this point he is the best manager out there.

Regardless of how things go this year or the next 3, Carlo is one of the best managers of all time, no question.

My slight salt with him is that he didn't win more Serie A titles with the AC Milan team that he had lol.  And the loss in that CL final of course.  I liked those teams.

Well main reason i like carlo is the whole quality ceiling. Some managers are consistent, others not so much. Carlo however is relatively unique in that he is shockingly inconsistent. But he makes for it with the ceiling being the highest of any manager out there currently.

Carlo has trouble winning leagues because he sacrifices consistency for potential quality. You dont need to be play sexy football to win titles. U just need to not lose and win matches you're not supposed to lose.

Balanced football is not always sexy and at times it is a chore to watch. Even more so when carlo chooses to respect experience more than athleticism. But when it works, teams simply have no answer for it no matter who it is.

Milan team was great but you forget during those days, serie a was a league to be reckoned with. The other teams were simply more consistent. Though i do agree Carlo should've won more with what he had.

If you want to win cl you need quality. If you want league titles, you need consistency. Theres a reason why some ae cup specialists like Carlo and then there those chumps who are only good for league titles like Conte for example. Though it would be mad silly to simplify it like i did. There's much more to it. But I'm gwtting offtopic.

Tl;dr carlo is a quality ceiling manager, not a consistent manager. U want consistency, look to guardiola or conte (lol never rated him but some people do).

Didnt see the farsa game. What happened that xavi struggled against the mighty palmas of the canaries?

Also i would like to take the time to say that Xavi is a good man who is in need of a lifetime contract. I hope Laporta does the right thing and gives xavi the keys to the farsa fiefdom.
