⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Leviathan.007]

Chelsea keeps being ruthless to their manager, their instant success idea hasn't been dropped one bit. Sacking Pochettino may be reasonable, but without a guarantee of hiring a better manager, this decision will backfire them in the future. If they keep giving short time to any manager, remembering their squad is also new and young, their rebuilding process will never reach the expected goals.

Manchester United shouldn't follow this footstep of Chelsea. Ten Hag may have more times than Pochettino, but they were in worse situation that Chelsea when Ten Hag took over. I don't think there will be a coach who is able to improve these two teams. I remember Klopp was also in this kind of situation when he took over Liverpool, but the club gave him time and a proper backup. Liverpool gained the result of their patience with Klopp in the fourth season of him in the charge.

Atmosphere at Chelsea is completely down with the sacking of Pochettino because things were looking impressive and fans were expecting something positive for the next season, but suddenly we are having another dilemma which is going to have huge negative impact because same bad decision done by Boehly which bring this team at the terrible point and now again all indications are clearly going for the another terrible season which can bring disastrous for the fans which were feeling happy.

As many mentioned end of the 2024 is having not ideal for the many coaches because they are losing their jobs despite having good ends but no one can stop this with management and owners are having some serious troubles with the few things which they are not going to have into them now as Pochettino gone we are having another rumour despite any result Eric Ten Hag is also set for exit from the Manchester United which is going to be another drama in Premier League.

That's wrong to say the situation in Chelsea is bad just because of their coach or because of some players in this team. You may remember in the last season they also had a bad performance when they had Potter in the team but it was not working for them and now Chelsea can't get good results with Pochettino while he was not guilty for it.
Pochettino tried to make the team younger and he tried to the best he could to improve Chelsea but he could not get the results they wanted to see and that's why they fired him while Pochettino was not the problem in Chelsea.

Maybe they'll fire Xavi Hernandez first. You can focus on that for now. I feel like if they get him fired they're daft and a dvmp headed side. How well have they even transformed Nice in the france league 1 Competition.
Can't believe you're one of those who use just a season to judge how the coach has been for the club. It's mind blowing...

Did you say a season? Isn't this Ten Hag's second season?
Comparing Ten Hag to Xavi is not very fair for Xavi, is it? Xavi has been at the club for 2 and a half seasons and he has a league title and the Spanish Super Cup to his name, what does Ten Hag have? Now the trophies aside, have you been impressed with the way Ten Hag handles Manchester United? Look at the way he handles the players, that shows poor management. Look at how the team plays, very awful. Barcelona wants to fire Xavi because they're a big club and a big club wants results.

There are a few things you look at before giving a coach more time at the club even though he's failing. One of those things is how he instils confidence confidence on his squad. Now let me ask you this, do Manchester United players believe they can win a trophy next season? Do they believe in themselves? What motivation do they have? Indeed, United don't have a good squad, but the players should believe in themselves and that would only happen if the coach instils that confidence in them.

You talked down on Arsenal, and that's cool. I'm history, Manchester United have a better mentality than them, but this isn't history. The difference between Manchester United and Arsenal right now is that Arsenal believe they'll win a trophy next season (even though they might not) but I can't say the same for Manchester United

The problem is a coach has to think about what’s best for the club that he is managing right now. He cannot think about what worked somewhere else and try to implement that same thing in another club. The problem with Ten Hag is that he was trying to make Manchester United to Ajax 2.0. Of course that was not going to work out. And also he was a little biased towards bringing in Dutch players or players from the Eredivisie division. I think he did not have the best interest of the club. First, he thought about himself and after that, he thought about the players that he liked. Not the players that would be best for the club.

I know a lot of people are going to talk trash about Arsenal. But the truth is, they are improving. Yes, I agree that they are spending a huge amount of money. But they are also bringing in good results. Manchester United is also spending money but the result is not there.

[redsun114]

Very strange choice of coaches by Chelsea, because it seems to me that none of these three coaches: Thomas Frank, Enzo Maresca and Kieran McKenna did not win serious trophies and may repeat the story of Graham Potter, when Bowley hired Graham Potter to do what Bowley said and could do any transfers, but Pocchetino could say that he does not need constant purchases of players and personnel chaos in the squad.

Kompany is indeed a surprise, but I guess Bayern Munich management are just looking for a coach for the season to wait for Jurgen Klopp or Javi Alonso to be released.  

Very strange decisions, as for Chelsea, it is obvious that Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali are not so competent to make the right decisions, it seems more like it’s just entertainment for them, but let’s wait, they promised to announce a new coach as soon as possible.
Kompany is also an unexpected decision for Bayern, a coach without much experience and without great achievements will immediately lead such a big club. Freund believes that Kompany is a coach with great potential, but there is one difficulty, he will have to reveal this potential during the course of his work in the team, which may take some time. But if I'm not mistaken, Bayern have not yet officially announced their decision.

Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali both are trying to ruin this club with their poor decisions because recently after end of the season I was reading with many fans were happy at the end they are able to have something positive which is surely new start for them, and they can bring this as new era is started but suddenly things gone on wrong side, and we are having another poor decision which can bring instability and chances of improvement less in coming season.

With whom is coming its no important because things are going to be had another change which is not suitable for the players which were adjusted and now giving their best which was positive now we are having another update about few things which will be revealed in coming days and look like now winning trophies are not target of this club with they are having target of developing players and bringing money business.

[bering]

I think that is the right decision, because when I see that Xavi will continue with Barcelona next season, I said that Barcelona will not do anything next season because this season he sure that he won't continue after the end of the season, and later they said he will add another year with the club. Now that Laporta sacks Xavi and brings Hansi flick, we will see how he performs next season, but I think he is a nice coach because he helped Munich win many trophies, including the champion league,I believe he will do well for Laporta next season, fulfilling his dreams and winning the title for him. Barcelona's current goal will be to transfer new players to the team, making the team stronger than before, and challenging Real Madrid because without new players in Barcelona, they will continue to donate the league next season if there is no change in the players.

No, its not right decision sacked Xavi Hernandez from his position after success achievement won La Liga tittle last season with Barcelona get trouble financial condition. I think Barcelona management has huge expectation should winning all trophies in this season but lack support with financial for signing some players. Xavi Hernandez have promoted some youth players in this season how to make balance well with financial condition and the management not spending much money for signing some players except most of them as free agent for signing Iñigo Martínez and getting loan for João Cancelo and João Felix.
I don't think Barcelona will have better performance for next season under Hansi flick if still difficult for spending much money to sign new players, its the same faced by Xavi Hernandez how to make effective without spending money for signing new players.

Until now i still considers Xavi is the right manager for Barcelona because i think Xavi is know well the condition of Barcelona so since train this team he was never demanding huge funds to bought the players because he know with the current financial condition from Barcelona it's really hard to gets the players he want so that's why to gets some players Xavi usually only loan or promote Barcelona youth players and if i am not mistaken the most expensive player he buy is only Lewandowski but Xavi done well because it didn't take long for him to bring Barcelona to compete with Real Madrid again even on season 2022/2023 Barcelona can gets Laliga trophy

Indeed his recent statement was very unacceptable to Juan Laporta and it caused Xavi have to sacked and about Hansi Flick i think he is good manager although when handle Germany National Team Hansi Flick was failed but i think what his done at Bayern Munich is very fantastic because he can bringing Bayern Munich to gets treble winner and total he can collect 7 trophies with Bayern Munich so maybe that's why Laporta is really interested what to hire him

[lizarder]

Yes, Chelsea is not just business for Abramovic, but he needs achievements and as many trophies as possible. What's interesting about Abramovic is that he always chooses coaches who have the potential to win for Chelsea, not only seeing him win at previous clubs, his focus on who is considered capable of becoming a successful coach at Chelsea. Abramovic is a genius in making decisions, at least that's what I see from Abramovic's personality. This is different from the current Chelsea owner, current board members is too slow to make decisions, so since last season Chelsea failed to enter the UCL zone.

That's true because the football industry is quite a promising business for some rich people now, but we can also see how Abramovic always takes much more appropriate actions compared to Todd Boehly. I also saw something similar that Abramovic was much more successful in making Chelsea a successful club compared to Todd Boehly who only thought about business.

Now the English league will be much busier where many clubs will try to find the right coach to manage the team next season. Interestingly, this has happened to several well-known clubs and we will see new faces who will set the strategy for several teams next season.

The owners of the Chelsea are obviously not happy with the result for some few games from last season and maybe that's necessitated the result because they did not see Pochettino as an adequate competition for the likes of Manchester City coach and arsenal coach.

See the qualities and requirements that the owners are in search of;

The owners want Chelsea to be able to hold possession like Pep Guardiola and Coach Arteta, which means that they see them as the standard.
I look forward to seeing who the management of Chelsea will appoint as the next coach.

Had thought Todd Boehly only thought about business after buying Chelsea then why did he buy a lot of expensive useless players? Isn't that a waste if you think about it?

Actually we never know what Todd Boehly is planning, he is much different from Abramovic because he handles Chelsea quite well and is able to win prestigious trophies such as the Champion League but now things have changed after Todd Boehly became the leader of Chelsea.

Premier League top clubs are now competing to find the best coach, when they fail it is hopeless and most are fired before their contracts expire, so it is still very rare for coaches to be retained despite bad circumstances.

[el kaka22]

Vincent Kompany doesn't feel like he would be a "great" manager. Bayern Munich isn't some new club and they are not really hard to get some managers, I mean getting some world famous level of manager is not a problem for them, like go convince Klopp if you want to.

However, Kompany hasn't been manager for a long time, he just managed Burnley as far as I know and there isn't really anything that makes sense there, it should feel like we are going to end up with nothing of value at all, we are going to probably see Kompany fail at that high level because he has never been there. Don't get me wrong, as a player he has been at high places but as a manager he hasn't been at high places and I think Bayern needs someone with experience.

Is that true? Is it really in their requirements? I mean, who got hand on that? That should be said in a very inner circle. By the way, some days ago, Guardiola said that he might leave Manchester City in a year because of some reasons and this can possibly be a good option for Chelsea to try and negotiate with him. I think that Man City will try its best to leave Guardiola because he is one of the best manager but anyway, this can be a good chance for Chelsea.

By the way, I always wonder, clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United, that have tons of money, why aren't they able to build a good team? What's wrong with them? I know that money can't buy everything but in football, money can buy things, money can buy coaches, Chelsea was doing very well with Mourinho, Jose Mourinho was the most successful manager that Chelsea had ever appointed.

I don't know what was going through Laporta's mind when he fired Xavi, even though he himself was the one who initially asked Xavi to stay. Now everything becomes clear when he shows his true colors and I am quite sad about the news of Xavi's dismissal. Who would have thought that this legend who was so loyal to his former club would have to leave Camp Nou so quickly.

Now Barcelona has replaced Hansi Flick and as we know he is a coach with a lot of experience. I think Barcelona, after firing Xavi, was not wrong in choosing Hansi Flick as his replacement and this will be his new challenge in managing Barcelona until 2026. Let's see if next season Barcelona will find its glory again with Hansi Flick, we should look forward to it.

It's sad that Barcelona threw away its legend in a bad way, but in football this is considered normal because no great player can surpass their club.
However, what makes me sad is the way Barcelona treats its legends who have fought hard to give their best, even giving Barcelona the title. shouldn't be treated like that.
yes I agree, with the arrival of Hansi Flick Barcelona I hope it can return to its glory days but I think it will take time for Hansi Flick to be able to prove it

I think Barcelona were too quick to make the decision of sacking Xavi since he was the club's legend before becoming their coach and on becoming their coach he has helped the team to win the La Liga last season and this season they couldn't get any trophy but they were able to qualify for the champions league next season. One thing about elite teams is that they don't usually have patience when they don't get good results and I think that's the major reason why they had to let Xavi leave the club. For the arrival of a new coach in the Barcelona team, getting a good result should be his uttermost priority because he was hired to take the team back to the number one place in the table and winning trophies should be the the target of the new coach and that can only be one by improving the performance of the players and helping the team to get back to winning ways. Let's see if the change will come easily or if it's going to be worse than what the state of the team is now already.

Who will be happy with such investments in buying players that expensive only to come home with nothing despite all the leagues that are been played and yet they never made it to the Champions League. Road Boehly is even calm with his rules, I will make sure many of those players are sold and replace because at this junction, I don't know if it's the players that are incompetent at this stage, he has change both players and coach but no significant progress from this team.

The owners want Chelsea to be able to hold possession like Pep Guardiola and Coach Arteta, which means that they see them as the standard.
I look forward to seeing who the management of Chelsea will appoint as the next coach.

If it's standard they want to set and keep, they should. When Real Madrid players played match, we see how they do it dedicatedly, they are ready to fight anyone because they are paid well to struggle for the team but I'm not sure for the likes of Chelsea. The end of the season was better but it was late already, using that to judge his future is dangerous, it's better they look for another person that will do better to Pep Guardiola level.

Atmosphere at Chelsea is completely down with the sacking of Pochettino because things were looking impressive and fans were expecting something positive for the next season, but suddenly we are having another dilemma which is going to have huge negative impact because same bad decision done by Boehly which bring this team at the terrible point and now again all indications are clearly going for the another terrible season which can bring disastrous for the fans which were feeling happy.

Some people are rejoicing while some are sad that Pochettino was fired, i am sure the management has their reasons for taking such decision. Changing coaches every now and then will definitely affect the players, after getting used to Pochettino style they will now be forced to learn the ways of the new coach.

Pochettino tried to make the team younger and he tried to the best he could to improve Chelsea but he could not get the results they wanted to see and that's why they fired him while Pochettino was not the problem in Chelsea.  

Pochettino really tried his best to elevate Chelsea and towards the end of the season we saw some quality in the team and they were able to reach 6th place despite having a rough start. Although from the start of the season a lot of things improved compared to when Potter was in charge like the number of chances created per match even though the result was still the same. One of the major problem with Pochettino was his reluctance to select his first choice of players, rotating the starting lineup every time will not be of any help and i think it was the reason why he failed to have good results.

I think this is wrong because seeing from some news Poche was not fired but indeed resigned as Chelsea coach, besides that it's a little silly to be happy with Poche's exit now because it can actually make Chelsea's condition the same at the beginning of the season in the last few seasons because after all when a new coach comes then it is certain that the reshuffle to fit the criteria of the coach will be carried out and obviously this can make Chelsea's situation a little chaotic again just like this season and the previous season.

Even though if you look at the comparison between this season and last season, Chelsea's performance has actually developed in a good direction and when expecting a more decent position it is difficult because we must realize at the beginning of this season Poche tried to turn Chelsea into a club that could compete from the lowest point so that the 6th position was still worthy of their appreciation.

[Ndabagi01]

That's wrong to say the situation in Chelsea is bad just because of their coach or because of some players in this team. You may remember in the last season they also had a bad performance when they had Potter in the team but it was not working for them and now Chelsea can't get good results with Pochettino while he was not guilty for it.
Pochettino tried to make the team younger and he tried to the best he could to improve Chelsea but he could not get the results they wanted to see and that's why they fired him while Pochettino was not the problem in Chelsea.  

One cannot see the performance of Chelsea this season and blame it on the coach that he hasn’t done well this season, he has done better than his predecessors and that’s a big achievement for him and a big achievement to the club as well in all honesty. I still don’t get why Pochettino was sacked all of a sudden, he might have been expecting it before now and the sack must have been part of their agreement if he didn’t fulfil some tasks by end of the season.

His sack was sudden and many Chelsea football fans didn’t expect that to happen to him but it’s all part of the undisclosed agreement with the club. He is a good coach but he might also have some limitations to what he can achieve for the club, if the club doesn’t want that limitations, they will have to sack him and bring someone that can lead the team to their best and to achieve what they want for the club. I think this is the case of Pochettino and he left the position without any more arguments with the management of Chelsea.

Vincent Kompany doesn't feel like he would be a "great" manager. Bayern Munich isn't some new club and they are not really hard to get some managers, I mean getting some world famous level of manager is not a problem for them, like go convince Klopp if you want to.

However, Kompany hasn't been manager for a long time, he just managed Burnley as far as I know and there isn't really anything that makes sense there, it should feel like we are going to end up with nothing of value at all, we are going to probably see Kompany fail at that high level because he has never been there. Don't get me wrong, as a player he has been at high places but as a manager he hasn't been at high places and I think Bayern needs someone with experience.

From grass to grace, this is the perfect illustration. Vincent Kompany have not gained the necessary stands to manage elite club but base on the positive energy during his time managing average clubs, he will definitely survive in Allianz Arena. The ex Manchester City player (captain) and Burnley headcoach have sparks the interests of the Bundesliga giant, Bayern Munich this season. I've watch closely how these club's have pick interest in young coaches because everyone seeks for a bright promising future.

Firstly, I don’t think Klopp will accept the offer to coach Bayern Munich that was their direct rivals while he was coaching Dortmund before becoming Liverpool’s managers, and for him to have decided to leave just like that means he may not take any club offer for now.

On the other hand; Vincent Kompany is not a bad coach, he haven’t coached a big team yet but his tactics are better just that they lack quality players that can help the team with extra effort.
I am expecting him to be a very competitive coach at Bayern Munich, he will give his best to overtake Alonso next season.

Another superstar player linked to the Saudi teams and it seems it's the time for Rafael Leão the talented and young player of AC Milan. During this season he had a perfect performance he helped his team to be on the to side of the Serie A. and his performance and his age made some teams to send him an offer. For example, after Mbappe left PSG they wanted to hire Rafael Leão for the next season.
Now it seems Al Hilal is also interested in hiring Rafael Leão and even the 175 million euro clause can't stop Al Hilal while that's a huge amount of money.

This is probably the worst bid that a saudi team could make. Even if they had all the money to sign him, there is no way Leao is going to move there. He is only 25 years old and all the other top clubs on top league have hi on their radar. I know The Saudi Pro League is serious with their project of turning their league into top tier league but this is definitely too much for them. I

Its just absurd to even bid on a 25 years old player. Normally they would go for players over 30 years of age

No club is definitely not taking any managerial role currently as he has started that he is going for a very long and well deserved rest from all this. He even pointed out that it could even be over that he would not return back it. So there is no way Bayern Munich will have gotten him. Moreover the German is a very passionate coach and has this unique bond with the previous employees and this mutual understanding will definitely make him not to take a job from Bayern Munich. I could remember his response of either managing another premier club aside Liverpool and he clearly said he doesn’t see himself doing that.

This is not the first or the most absurd bids by the Saudi pro league clubs. They have started going for younger players to come sign for them not just this season but since last season. The hierarchy said they are quite different from the Chinese and they will start coming for the young players. Last season I could remember some quite few going over there which even made Toni Kroos to criticize the players then. They have also had bids for the likes of Mbappe, Oshimen and other exciting young talents too, so don’t be too surprised as we will definitely see more of it as promised by the Saudi club’s owners

Big revolution in Serie A for the next Year.

Sarri left Lazio
Mou left Roma
Allegri left Juventus
Pioli left Inter

4 ot the best teams have or will have a new coach.

For Juventus we will probably have Motta in the bench, for Milan we may have Fonseca.
