I think Poch will stay as he’s doing a decent job there in regards to implementing a playing style and working well with the youth. Most Chelsea fans I know think he’s doing a good job and is building something.
Not that Newcastle are a big club but they’ll be looking for a manager too.
What price..
Alonso - Liverpool
De Zerbi - United
Klopp - Bayern
Arteta - Barca
Who goes to Barca will be interesting, they seem to prefer to go for someone who understands the club's philosophy. Luis Enrique and Arteta are obvious ones but would they want to leave their current clubs who are both in much healthier positions.
I imagine both Bayern and Liverpool would love to get Alonso but maybe he's in no rush to leave just yet.
I think Chelsea and United are still big draws for managers, the PL is the league most want to manage in.
PSG, Arsenal and City could be looking for managers as well.
100% won't ever manage Bayern. He doesn't care for those kind of jobs. I could see him at somehwere like Napoli or maybe Barca if he's into their 'more than a club' bs.
Wouldn’t be a surprise if Madrid are looking for a new manager either.

Mourinho has Barcelona DNA. Has to be him.
I would have thought that Real would likely not want to miss out to Alonso.
Of course, the return of the translator. It's what Barca deserve tbf.
Klopp seems to be planning to take a year or more out of football. His interview made it clear he wants to have some time living life rather than giving everything to the job. So I'd leave him out of the managerial merry-go-round speculation.
If it wasn’t for Chelsea being Chelsea I would agree with Robbsie.
I am not that much of a fan of Poch but you can see that Chelsea are starting to gel from a football playing perspective. They are just poor at scoring goals in much the same way we are.
I expect them to improve in the second half of the season and finish well above us.
There’s probably gonna be a number of changes for international teams as well.
Isn't Flick leaving after the Euros? A lot of clubs will want him.

Southgate standing down after a quarter final exit against Spain
I don’t think Klopp will walk out on Liverpool claiming to be frazzled, only to walk straight into another high profile job like Bayern etc. Or any job for that matter, can see him taking a year long hiatus.
I don’t think de Zerbi would be the right man for Man U. He basically walked into a ready made situation at Brighton with a well established recruitment structure and high functioning team. Potter was poached for doing so well, not sacked. Man U need a massive overhaul of recruitment policy, culture, playing style, squad. That’s not representative of what he’s done before - taking Brighton up a couple of places in the PL doesn’t equate to being ready for the big gig, as Potter found out. No idea what the direction of travel for Utd will be, but feels like ETH’s days are numbered.
Arteta was very aggressive in poo pooing the Barca links yesterday, can’t see him going. Also, Barca apparently avoided Jose because of his style of play and ‘ungentlemanly’ personality, he wasn’t the ‘Barca way’, and opted for Pep instead. Arteta fits more in the Jose mould than the Pep moulds on both counts IMO, don’t see him as a Barca coach myself.
Alonso to Liverpool is the one that looks nailed. And if he wins the Bundesliga before he goes then Tuchel is toast. Might be toast anyway as word is he isn’t exactly Mr Popular at Bayern. Don’t think Chelsea will sack Poch, might yet win a trophy and is slowly putting his stamp on things, the Chelsea hierarchy must surely realise to get anyway with their new vision they need to be patient and not keep starting over at the first sign of trouble.

Flick isn't managing anyone atm I don't believe.
Nagelsmann will be free after the Euros though. I reckon he'll be a contender for the Liverpool or Barca job.

No top managers are taking international jobs. Maybe one who has fallen from grace and needs to rebuild their reputation

We are desperately trying to appoint his best mate Dan Ashworth as well.
Oh the meltdown it will cause in this fanbase if we appoint Southgate would be hilarious if it wasn't such a scary proposition. 😬
He wouldn't be who I'd choose but then again I wanted ETH and now I don't so goes to show it doesn't really matter who we want. Doesn't mean it will go well.
Oh man, Safegate to Man U, pleeaaaasssee let it happen

Nagelsmann at Liverpool could be a good fit again for them like Klopp was.
I think they have all gone very early on Alonso personally. 4 months ago he wasn't even on the radar. Not sure he's ready for that step up yet really. Wasn't long ago they were all saying Gerrard was destined for the top was it after Rangers? Now look at him. He'd struggle to get any PL job.
Could be a very interesting time.. and sadly you'd have to say us and Chelsea would be the least attractive to any incoming manager.
Can I ask why you think this?
Chelsea are slowly improving, have some great talented, with loads of potential (only potential right now), have got to a cup final and are due to get back some of their best players from injury.
As it stands it would seem Spurs are the best run club and most stable going forwards in the immediacy
Who knew hiring an Australian was the answer 😎

----------------------------------------------------
I wouldn't argue United is the most attractive job, but if we have a new CEO, sporting director, recruitment operation in place, a very clear sense of our culture and sporting vision, then that combined with the still huge status of the club could be very attractive. I'd add that the best coach to lead the project forward isn't necessarily the biggest name on the market. If we're clear about the kind of football we want, how quickly we can build toward a mature team, etc., we should also be able to profile the attributes of the coach we need much more precisely than we have in the past. With the right support structure behind him, that coach doesn't need to be papering over all sorts of cracks and doesn't necessarily have to be as big a name. And if we've genuinely done the homework to identify the coach who best fits our specific vision, that should make us a more attractive proposition. Coaches (and players) aren't necessarily looking for the biggest / most currently successful club to join, but sometimes the project that fits them best.
