Man, the hunt for managers is gonna be wild...

Bayern, Barcelona, Liverpool, UTD (?), Chelsea (?).

Nagelsmann will also be back in the club management business after Euro 2024.

Xabi to Bayern for sure, according to Muncheners I know.

Don't you feel sorry for the scousers !

Graham Potter too. (His work at Brighton tells us more about his ability than his Chelsea stint, in my view.)

Yep, I reckon that is where they go. It would be a good move for him too. Replacing Klopp will be a tough gig. If he goes to Bayern he has less competition in the domestic league and should get some silverware under his belt. Save the Liverpool job until later into his career.

I wouldn't mind seeing Potter at United.

Neverkusen to collapse when Bayern shortly announce Alonso as their manager for next season.

Bundesliga watchers I've listened to commented that Xabi Alonso has a history of turning down big job offers when he thinks it's the timing is wrong. For what it's worth, they were sceptical that he would leave Leverkusen for Liverpool at the end of this season, not because he lacks the ambition, but because it would be too early. I guess if they were right, the same would apply to Bayern.

I'd say that the Liverpool job is more of a challenge at this time. At Bayern he should be able to got some silverware.

Elvis, I think their take was about his focus on developing his skills and body of work as a manager: that they were sceptical he'd want to leave Leverkusen before he'd 'completed' that phase of his career, rather than that he might feel cautious of the next challenge. I'm just sharing that because I have zero knowledge and they seem to have observed him closely. On the other side, if he wins the league with Leverkusen, he may feel next season can only get worse and realise that opportunities to manage at his former clubs Bayern and Liverpool won't come around that often.

Actually, do we know whether Ancelotti is staying on next season?

Signed a new deal last summer after being heavily linked with the Brazil job.

Somewhere on Yes606 in Germany this morning, a member called Wurde_Besser wrote an article about Bayern dominating under Tuchel for years to come. He is building Bayern 2.0.

No idea about Carlo.

It'd be nice if he won the league that he stayed on and had a go at the CL with them. He might do that. He seems like a good bloke.

United should go for Alonso.

A manager in a European league playing dominant football is exactly what we need.

BBC reported the Sky story that the unemployable PEteacher Ole GS was lined up to take over Munich if they sacked TT, yesterday.

Whether or not ETH deserves to keep his job beyond the summer, I wonder if his successor is better off coming in a year later, when some of the changes behind the scenes have created a more solid foundation to work from. It's unlikely that INEOS leadership will have made transformative changes to the squad by August, in which case are we setting up an elite manager for a rocky first season?

No, we need a flavour of the month European manager, playing dominant football with his current club, NOW!

As an interim if they sacked Tuchel mid season, he will never be an option for them long term

Exactly what many said about his United appointment.

There are still some supporters who think that Tuchel is a great manager. He won a Champion's League with Chelsea and stabalized the club but he has always underachieved apart from that.

Looking at Chelsea, he was unable to find a system which got the best out of Lukaku and we went backwards after winning the Champions League. We were very negative and ground out results. The signs of the plight we are in had started long before Tuchel's sacking.

At PSG and Bayern, he has been underwhelming. His style of play is old school - akin to Conte or Mourinho - it can still be effective but thses managers create discord in the dresing rooms and prefer solidity to utilising the very expensive flair the clubs bring in.

Many will argue with me, but Chelsea let De Bruyne, Salah, Musiala, amongst many others slip through their fingers because the coaches were too structural in their approach. Currently, it is the flair teams, those who attack and play with freedomand creativity which are successful. Football is cyclical, but Bayern have the best and mose expensive squad in the Bundesliga by far, yet they are underperforming. The manager's influence must not be taken lightly.

Ange Postecoglu could be the best fit for Bayern as he plays the right brand of attacking football that the club wants to see. His style relies on a high energy crowd that will drive the rhythm of the team forward and he would get that in Germany.

I know Ange has been let down in this regard at Spurs due to poor support from a subdued crowd which has had a massive impact on the team's ability to play the fast paced, attacking football.

If Bayern can see that with the right atmosphere and fans behind him, like he had at Celtic, Ange can bring success with his style to Bayern.

I have been to a few heavy metal gigs where the crowd have just been rubbish and subdued and it really affected the performance of the band. It is just a shame that the same is happening for Ange at Spurs but hopefully Bayern can see past that and see the bigger picture.

I wonder if plastic flags could help Spurs out, like they did for City and Chelsea?
