New Manager Thread

I think I need a Schmidt

Can't say I'm familiar.

 

Can someone tell me anything?........ About Schmidt

Very good

My concern is that he doesn't fit the 'There's only one X X' chant

 

We need a manager with a name of four syllables.

He has only one syllable, but surely he can be made into a chant or two somehow:

and Adkins and Pochettino did?

 

Of our last 3 managers only Koeman fits in with your comment.

 

From history of appointments under the Liebherr reign those are not requirements we look for and from look at previous appointments I'd say Howe fits our criteria perfectly (not that he'd be my first choice).

Adkins fitted the job spec perfectly. And Poch did too. What a weird question.

Very good

Took a while though!

Ernesto Valverde

I discounted Valverde as he has only recently extended his contract with Bilbao. Would be an interesting proposition

There's actually two Schmidt's in the Bundesliga

 

Roger Schmidt- Leverkusen

 

Martin Schmidt- Mainz (who I posted about)

 

Martin Schmidt seems a pretty cool character and says "Tuchel was his mentor"

Did some reading and both sound pretty damn good!

I can't listen to that without his dubbed voice reminding me of Spottswoode from Team America

That would give 100% commitment to the team a new meaning for the players.....

How much do you want it gary

A throw a name in the hat - Henrik Larsson - former Celtic striker now manager for Swedish PL team Helsingborg. He's doing fine with a small budget and a young squad including his son Jordan. Just guessing though

Looks like the USA are preparing to part company with Jurgen Klinsmann. Can I be first to nominate him as the mystery man.?

Sure as hell hope not. He has been a disaster for the US and wanted full control of everything even down to grass roots youth soccer.

Did Pereira leave Porto at the end of a contract?

Assume he went to Saudi for the money...wonder if he had other offers at the time aside from Everton interest?

Guessing he only had a short term Olympiakos deal and left at the end of that. Anyone know if he was linked with anyone else before joining Fenerbache?

If he leaves this summer he will have done 2 years at two different clubs then more recently only a year or less at three different clubs.

Wonder if that is just ruthless money/managerial position improvement or a struggle to settle?

What about Jack Schmidt?

I know Jack Schmidt.

His wiki page says he had his Olympiakos contract cancelled by mutual consent and the next day he was announced as Fenerbahce manager. Quit Al Ahli for "family reasons" according to Record https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=pt&u=http://www.record.xl.pt/internacional/detalhe/arabia-saudita-vitor-pereira-deixa-al-ahli-881510.html&prev=search

Nigel Pearson with a tan.

who the hell is pereira??

I know Jack Schmidt.

Former Porto, Olympiakos and current Fenerbahce manager who was first linked in the Echo and K billy said was under consideration.

Between the dancing, the short stays at clubs, & the tantrums - I'm not sure what to make of him!

I think Vitor P's firebrand personality will rule him out.

Marco Silva and Roger Schmidt on the other hand...

Everything I have read on Vitor P is the opposite. He is apparently quiet, not interested in media and happy to be a training ground coach.

“Portuguese people are strategic, with a huge work ethic” he said. “I do not have the talent to speak, in public, as finely as they do.

 

“Andre is very expressive, but I am different. I am a quiet person.

 

“I define myself differently: I am a tactical coach. For me, that part of the game is not so important.

 

“It is not part of my personality.”

Yep, I read something that said part of the reason he never built much of a rapport with Porto fans was because he wasn't vocal in the press and didn't push the agenda of 'it's us against the world'.

Just didn't take kindly to that press officer's behaviour, clearly!

Very glad to see the first responses were emojis of snakes.

“Portuguese people are strategic, with a huge work ethic”

But also mental

They were relegated!

I've followed Rayo Vallecano for a few years as I love watching Spanish football. His style of play is extreme in how he sets out. No goal kicks will be hit long, no defenders will be hitting a target man, it will be passing through the lines until they find a forward in space, without exception. He plays 4-2-3-1 and his wingers are just that, they won't come inside, they stretch the pitch from start to finish. He's known to make subs in the first half or at half time if things aren't going well, certainly a proactive rather than reactive manager.

I personally think his philosophy of play would suit better players. Rayo were let down this season by poor defenders and even poorer goalkeepers, their forward play was exciting with average players, namely Cardiff flop Guerra and Man U flops Bebe and Manucho. I would be excited to see what he could do with a squad of internationals.

He's also progressed a lot of youngsters careers whilst at Rayo. Not so much from their own academy, but from too Spanish clubs. Saul Niguez was there the year before breaking into Atletico's team this year, and Diego Llorente will be this years edition who is due back at Real Madrid next season.

Don't read everything into league tables, very very simplistic.

Paul Lambert...

Paul Lambert...

..would be utterly awful and has no chance.

Let's hope so!

Wonder if the mystery man is the Rayo Vallecano manager Paco Jemez. Fits the profile of a young manager who plays pressing football but more attacking than Pochettino and has done well considering the clubs small budget. Saw someone on Twitter mention that he had an offer from an English club and seeing as we are the only manager less PL club it could be us.

That's where my monies going. Poch 2 IMO.

Has anyone but you and I mentioned Marco Silva?

Like Poch Leaving Espanyol in 20th place before we got him.

You didn't read my post in the context it was written. It was replying to two posters who said Paco Jemez & Rayo Vallecano had a "good season" in 2015/16. They didn't, they were relegated... that was the point I was making. I wasn't ruling the manager out, I just fail to see how it was a good season.

Anyway... going back to the previously discussed Roger Schmidt of Bayer Leverkusen, this is quite an interesting analysis of his style of play...

Thanks, good watch.

Further read on Paco Jemez:

http://statsbomb.com/2016/02/the-fascinating-nature-of-paco-jemez/

And with some remarkable prescience & foresight the article includes this:

There are a host of interesting medium-big clubs that could be on the hunt for a new manager this summer. Say Ronald Koeman decided he’s taken Southampton as far as he could and he’s sick and tired of his best players being poached up every summer window, Southampton could look at the success they had with Pochettino and think that Paco could achieve very similar things with a higher budget and a style that could be prone to greater positive variance. Other clubs likes Marseille, Roma, Lyon, Swansea would in their own ways fit the type of profile that Paco would want for his next gig. If the success of someone like Mauricio Pochettino is anything to go by, teams should be knocking on Paco Jémez’s door hoping that they could have one of the best up and coming managers be part of their future.

I get what you're saying I just think that it's unfair to say he's not had a good season just because the team with by far the lowest budget eventaully got relegated. I think looking at the managers linked to the job that the chosen manager will be a choice from left field as I'm not too enthused by the likes of Pellegrini I don't know why. Although for the first time I'm excited by who we're going to choose as our manager

Don't think its unfair to say relegation is not a good season by any stretch of the imagination. Doesn't mean he's a bad manager though.

Strachan had been relegated before joining us, not a bad manager for us though was he ? Poch was sacked,as was Lawrie (although not in his last job) before coming to Saints.

Didn't we play his team , Leverkusen, in a friendly a couple of years ago?

Saphir Taider's only game haha

Paul Lambert...

I've said this before on here, Paul Lanbert will be successful with a decent club.

Oh wake up Maggie I think there's something I've got to say to you and it's as long as it isn't Saints then that's fine!

Paul Lambert...

I'd much prefer his brother Rickie.

Who can understand a word Lambert says?

I'd much prefer his brother Rickie.

Well at least we know he wouldn't leave for the Everton massive

Excellent!

Paco Jemez certainly an interesting candidate. Likened to Poch in many ways, and his mentor Bielsa.
