When Míchel Sánchez is on the rise with Girona now there are rumors from MARCA said Newcastle are considering recruiting the Girona coach to replace Eddie Howe who is currently starting to slump, I say this is a bold move for Newcastle but my question is: Is it possible Girona will let him go in the winter?
I don't think that's likely to happen especially now Girona are on fire hard to beat if their coach leaves then it will be chaotic.

This is just a rumor, it is not clear what will happen later whether Eddie Howe will be replaced in the near future or kept by Newcastle.

Thanks for this fucking good news!!!! i have been waiting for howe to be sacked and it's going to happen soon. HOWE OUTTTT!!!! he was a flop for newcastle. It doesn't even make sense a big club with oil's money like newcastle has terrible coach like eddie howe. Howe must be fucking out from the club and he was a disaster for newcastle. Girona's coach may have to make some choices, as he might not be willing to go to the EPL until he has successfully completed his mission of helping Girona secure a title from La Liga. I have zero respect toward eddie how. What he can do is always blame his team once newcatle performed so poorly.

Newcastle has gotten several bad results and my prediction to see howe to be sacked and it will happen soon. Thanks god i will not see howe to coaching newcastle again.
HOWE OUTTTT!

Wayne Rooney without doubt had a very career as a player, but that's absolutely been the opposite with his managerial career and I think it's be better for him not to continue with the profession as he's failed in almost all the previous attempts.

Failing is more like a lesson learnt and when you're bouncing back, you're becoming more open and graded in good position of succeeding. Making attempts and failing would discouraged one from taking more steps, instead he settle for lesser results. Wayne Rooney have been pursuing the race to be a competent manager for years since retiring as a player but he's not lucky enough to hold on any solid ground. Wayne Rooney have enjoyed his moment as a player but he can't suit into the race of managerial role because he doesn't have what it takes to become like other competent manager.

Rooney still has a long way to go to become a professional coach, so keep trying because becoming a coach is not easy. Rooney may have been a shining star as a player in the past but that doesn't mean he can hold the same position as a coach. There have been many star players in the past and trying to make a career as a coach ended up not being a good fit. I don't know why but I think  being a coach  requires having the ability not only to practice but to be supported by the theory learned. Compared to most theories, the practice is lacking sometimes making the coach quite recognized on the field. Everyone has their own portion of their career and those who are great coaches today, even when they were still playing on the field, did not stand out.

But Ac Milan rejected the offer they got from Bayern Munich and they said they are not going to sell this payer because they don't have enough defenders already.

 

Fikayo Tomori is a tough defender and with Milan he has appeared 23 times in all competitions and that is why his role is so important for Milan's defense. It is certain that Milan will not let him go because he is also a regular player who can always be trusted. His contract is still long and that could be a reference if he still feels very comfortable in Italy.

Bayern Munich is a big Bundesliga team and every year they are always hungry for the title and because of that, while the January window is still open they still want to strengthen their squad by bringing in Fikayo Tomori. But indeed, Milan will not let go of their players easily and in fact they can convince them more to stay. I think Bayern Munich will have to look for other defender options if they can't recruit Fikayo Tomori.

Not so fast cowboy, I don't think Girona would allow their head coach to leave in the middle of a potentially title-winning season. It would be like trying to poach Claudio Raieneri (not sure if I butchered his name LOL) in the middle of that title-winning season with Leicester many years ago, and I can see them deferring the poaching until the season is over.

I'm not sure who else would be linked in the event of a managerial sack (Ten Hag, if he himself gets sacked at the end of the season? )

Before he left Chelsea to join AC Milan, Fikayo Tomori wasn't considered a world class defender but since he moved to AC Milan, the England international has significantly improved in his performance and is now regarded as the best defenders in Italy.

Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel is one manager that has his own preferences when it comes to players' style of football and that's why he's not too interested in regularly playing Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt despite the player's reputation as one of the best defenders in Europe. It's been reported in the media that the Dutch international is likely to leave the club this year and I think Tomori is the manager's preference for his replacement should he leave the Allianz Arena

@Docnaster if that’s the case then Bayern should propose a swap and discuss transfer fee if the player’s valuation differs because this way Tuchel gets his man and Milan get another talented player as part of the deal. Furthermore if Tuchel has already made his mind then it’s only a matter of time before he comes for Tomori and right now AC Milan is taking a tough stand to get the maximum for their player and that’s not a bad strategy.

[Strongkored]

Rooney, gerrard and more english coaches were overrated coach. They were always failed to deliver good results for the teams that they have coached it.

Actually Steven Gerrard was quite good when he was Rangers coach even though he won the title in his third season at the club but unfortunately, he chose to accept Aston Villa's offer which was the beginning of his coaching career being tarnished because in the end he was fired, many advised him to stay in the league Scotland to gain experience before accepting offers from other clubs in leagues such as the English Premier League, where the competition is tighter compared to other leagues, but for Wayne Rooney or Frank Lampard and also Graham Potter, it cannot be denied that they are quite bad coaches even though Potter is still better when he was at Brighton.
Maybe clubs want to make Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney, and Frank Lampard become coaches, seeing that their success as players can also be demonstrated when they become coaches, unfortunately, that hasn't happened at least for now.

[tyz]

That proves that it doesn't even matter how good history in your career as a footballer and there is no guarantee if you will be a good coach. In fact, so numerous players that shifted to be a new coach were only a few that was successfully become good coach.

A general pattern. There are very few former world-class players who have become successful coaches. Most of them have had one or two stints as a coach and then never found a job as a coach again. Wayne Rooney is also very unlikely to become a successful coach. Much more successful are former players who have played in the first or second division of their country, but have never really been among the greatest. The best examples of those are Carlo Angelotti and Jurgen Klopp.

Wew, i can't even relate it. Is there a point that making him considered as a world class defender?  He left from chelsea as a flop and this is the main reason chelsea was kicking him out.
He never won UCL or even europa league as a lower competition compared to the UCL. He is also only winning italian champion once with acmilan. What's point to call him as a world class defender?
If he was truly world class defender and world class team or even best team in the world like madrid would be recruiting him.

There were better defenders than him. I strongly disagree with tuchel to get him rather than other defender. We have a bunch of good defenders listed on the market but why tomori?

 

Milan's defensive line is so weak right now. Tuchel was taking the worst decision if bayern will be forcing to sign him.

Wayne Rooney have enjoyed his moment as a player but he can't suit into the race of managerial role because he doesn't have what it takes to become like other competent manager.

To be honest, I don't think Wayne Rooney's managing struggles are solely due to his inability to hold ground. It has to do with the change from player to coach. Rooney was a terrific player, but coaching is a completely other animal. It involves more than just knowing the rules of the game; it involves strategy, managing a variety of personalities, and making important choices under duress. A person is not always an excellent coach just because they were a standout athlete. Consider Mourinho and Klopp as illustrations. Although they weren't particularly good players, they make great managers. They are masters at team dynamics and strategy. Although Rooney's trip is difficult, it is not unusual. playing in this new capacity, which is very different from playing on the field, will require him to learn and adjust

It's different between coaches and players, so coaches have nothing to do with a person's career as a football player and there are even some great coaches who are not basically football players.
Regarding Wayne Rooney not being successful in his coaching career is not a big surprise, we have also seen many previous examples where someone had a good career when he was actively playing football but not when he was a coach, such as Pirlo.

Fail to pay attention to news like this, they're complete speculations and even if they want him amd he wants to leave, that should be exactly at the end of the season.
He's currently under contract with a club and they want him to terminate him contract for them? At this crucial periods of the season? This musy be a joke.

Girona are currently buzzing, this is only but a distraction. If it's not then,. Why make such moves at this time of the season. The coach had been a massive development of their growth and increase.
He'll go nowhere.

He didn't play well when he was at Chelsea and even Fikayo Tomori didn't get a place at that time in Cheslea's main squad. Since his move to AC Milan his performance has continued to improve and he has become a mainstay for Stefano Pioli and I am sure AC Milan will not let him go to another club this season because if you look at his performance he is quite good. Fikayo Tomori's typical style of play also has advantages in defense because he can play the ball in the air. So it is quite natural that Tomas Tuchel really intends to bring him to the Allianz Arena.

However no one can be sure about his future because an agreement could be reached between the two clubs and it could be an alternative for AC Milan to use the money from the sale of Fikayo Tomori to buy several other players they need.

His status as a great player never guarantees that he will become a great coach. Rooney, Lampard, Paul Scholes and Maradona are a number of great players who failed to become successful coaches. Several well-known managers experienced different fates who did not gain much fame as players. Apart from the two names you mentioned above, there are several more names such as Julian Nagelsmann, Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger who succeeded in becoming great coaches even though they were not very well known when they were still players.
It must be admitted, it is not easy to become a great coach if you do not have a natural talent for developing team strategies.

[Helena Yu]

It's different between coaches and players, so coaches have nothing to do with a person's career as a football player and there are even some great coaches who are not basically football players.

It's a bias.

There are some great coaches who weren't football players, but most of good coaches were football players.

It's make sense because you can't feel a sense how a good strategy and team play was supposed to, the way is become the player. Arsene Wenger is one of most popular coaches who wasn't a player.

English Premier League clubs are making plans to recruit Xabi Alonso from Bundesliga but it's almost a mission impossible because on the other side, Bayer Leverkusen won't be allowing him leave the club so soon because he still have unfinish business with the club. Alonso is in Germany to ensure Will Manchester United hire every player they think is promising? I don't think they have any chance of landing Xabi Alonso in Old Trafford this summer. Alonso doesn't pick any interest in any club at the moment, he's just focused on building Bayer Leverkusen to good shape.

I quite agree too and I don't see Xavi coming to Man UTD especially now that there's so much pressure to climb up the ladder in the Premier league since Erik is not doing a fine job. I remember when he was at Real sociedad b team, he elevated the club to a prominent status and with his Midas touch, he has managed to do same with Bayer Leverkusen. Before his move to the German outfit, big clubs like Bayern Munich sought his services but he chose to make his home in Bayer Leverkusen and from what we are seeing, they may be serious contenders for the title this season.
 Having learned from the best in the likes of Rafa Benitez, Carlo Ancelloti and Jose Mourinho, it's safe to say he's good but I don't see him excelling much if he migrates to Man UTD. Their problem is from the management, so what happens if he can't deliver after much expectations have been piled on him? He had better remain at Bayer Leverkusen.

And even if Xabi Alonso is to return to the Premier League anyday anytime, he'llake his move to Liverpool, that's because he's a Liverpool legend and they'll want to see him returning and taking charge. They won't push for this actually until right after Jurgen Klopp is done with Liverpool. Why would he leave gor Manchester United?

He should focus of winning his first ever trophy with Bayern Leverkusen this season, I hope he wins too because of how far they've already achieved. Borrussia Dortmund tried and failed, hopefully they won't end same way m

You don't need talk much about him, managing talents that are not even well known and still pushing them up?! Man, deserves a better rise and pay.

[QueenVera]

It would indeed still be a significant achievement if Xabi Alonso can elevate Bayer Leverkusen without winning a championship. The ability to lift a team from a disadvantaged position and guide them to a more competitive standing is a testament to his managerial skills. The progress and improvement of the team itself are noteworthy achievements. He's been enhancing the performance of individual players and contributing to their development, it reflects positively on his coaching abilities. A coach's impact on the growth of the players and the team's overall skill level is a substantial marker of success.

If Alonso manages to instill a winning mindset, discipline, and a strong work ethic within the club, it signifies success beyond just winning a trophy. He is building a foundation for sustained success and creating a team that consistently competes at a high level can be more valuable than a one-time championship. Facing the challenges of coaching and steering a team through adversity requires resilience and patience. The support from stakeholders can be a strong indicator of the positive impact he's had on the team.

Currently, Leverkusen's consistency has put them in the top contending spots for the Bundesliga title. Even though it's not so certain yet as there are still games to determine the victor, there's every possibility that there may be change of hands this season.
Munich are doing their best to match up the intensity of contest and they have to be careful cause if they drop more points, they would be giving Leverkusen more advantage to change the Bundesliga history.

 Leverkusen are putting forward. Definitely they can hold onto the pressure for a while and for Leverkusen, they are not resilient in pursuing that major aim. Alonso and his squad aren't giving up and weekly they put up a whole different energy towards that trophy race. The time is sure going to be tough for all their opponents and the games will go almost to the last end before a victor can be confirmed.

Bayern Munich has shown interest in AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori. The move is currently unlikely because AC Milan does not want to sell him. However, it's not ruled out that Bayern could not make another attempt. There's a chance that Tomori's time at AC Milan could come to an end. However, If the Italian club wants to be competitive and improve their defense, the best option is to bring in a center-back to strengthen their defense rather than sell him.

Bayern likes him but acmilan dislikes bayern's interest and there's no way for bayern to get him from acmilan. Tuchel shall need to find an alternative player to replace him. This is going to be the hardest mission but nothing impossible.
Bayern has very good reputation that can be used to attract the good defender. Why doesn't bayern try to attract meguire to come in? It will be so good to have meguire in the bayern.

Acmilan being so harsh toward any offer that was targeting fikayo. The chance owned by tuchel to recruit him was almost zero and i hope he can understand it by try to find alternative solution for him.
There are so many worthy defenders are still capable enough to help bayern to play better. Tuchel needs to find that as soon as possible.

He can start to target leverkusen's defender too. Bayern was trying so hard to lure guirassy to come. There's nothing wrong in giving an excellent offer for leverkusen's defender too.
It's caused by all of leverkusen players ar still on fire and that gives more advantage for bayern. Tuchel has a lot of unfinished jobs.
