Someone is threatened with dismissal, someone wants to leave on their own.

Despite the fact that most of the top coaches already have jobs, there are rumors that some of them are ready to switch teams. Let’s talk about each case.

Guardhouse inside PSG

The reason for the emerging insiders about the Manchester City coach is the scandal with allegations against the “citizens”. At the beginning of February at mass media there was information that Premier League conducts investigations into potential breaches of financial regulation by the British giant. The championship management is evaluating the activities of the “Azzurri” in the period from the 2009/10 season to 2017/18. Subsequently, the club itself issued a statement on the matter and, curiously, did not provide a direct refutation of the information that appeared:

Manchester City express surprise at the publication of these alleged breaches of Premier League rules, especially given the huge amount of detailed material that has been provided by the club to management Premier League.

Possible sanctions against SM the withdrawal of points was called (the same thing happened with Juventus), but, according to the latest information, representatives of the Premier League clubs are calling for City to be removed from the championship. The team manager, Josep Guardiola, in turn, promised to leave the club if the suspicions were confirmed:

I told our people, “Tell me about your suspicions.” I believed him 100% from day one, so I defended the club at this stage. I said, “If you lie to me, I won’t be here the next day. I’ll leave and you won’t be my friends anymore.” I like to represent a club that does everything right.

Now it is rumored that Guardiola is evaluating the candidacy PSG – the Parisians are ready to enter into negotiations if the Spanish coach still decides to leave Man City. One of the arguments in favor of signing a contract for the coach may be Lionel Messi, with whom Pep has already worked at Barcelona.

The Mourinho-Ancelotti reshuffle at Roma

The end of January-beginning of February for Real Madrid is not going well. After losing to Villarreal, the “creamy” lost to Barça in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. Later, they shared points with Real Madrid from Sociedad and lost to Mallorca. Everything would be fine, but the loss of points has led to the fact that the Catalans are now 8 points ahead of Real Madrid and lead the championship table.

In this context, insiders have already begun to emerge that the Spanish giant’s management is considering the possibility of sacking the Italian coach: the fact that the team missed out on winning the Super Cup does not satisfy them, nor does the second row in La Liga. It is also noted that the club is not satisfied with the quality of football Real Madrid played under Carlo.

At the same time, according to rumors, Ancelotti already has a fallback option in the event of his resignation: he could end up in Rome. According to sources, the bosses of the Italian giants will consider the candidacy of a star player in case of dismissal of José Mourinho. However, such a variant of events is still unlikely – there is no reason to fire the Portuguese specialist (unless he himself wants to leave). The Romans have moved up to third place in Serie A, having lost just 2 out of 8 games since the championship resumed.

Yes, and Carlo’s departure from Real Madrid is a dubious scenario. However, the Spanish club continues to participate in the national cup and the Champions League, so it could well take the trophy – parting with the coach would be premature.

Both are in the running for a place in the Brazilian national team.

After the failure at the World Cup in Qatar, the Pentacampeons have not chosen a new coach – and meanwhile it has been 2 months since Tite left. It was reported that the vacant position is most likely to be filled by Luis Enrique. But that hasn’t happened so far: perhaps the former Spanish national coach is thinking of returning to club-level activities.

Besides Luis, the Brazilians only look to Ancelotti and Mourinho, and the former is the favourite. According to rumors, this is due to the fact that Carlo has developed a good relationship with the “selesao” players of Real Madrid – Vinicius, Rodrigo, Militao and Casemiro. He knows everyone very well and knows how to use their best qualities.

At the same time, the 63-year-old Italian has enough experience to represent the national team with such a selection of players – Carlo managed to win so many trophies that he will definitely not give up at the decisive stages of international tournaments.

The fallback is Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese has been working with clubs for a long time, his approach raises more and more questions (recently there are more failures than successes). And even so, glimpses into his teams’ play happen: Roma won the Conference League last season, and are now third in the Italian league.

Another candidate is Georges Jesus. The Portuguese specialist has been working as a head coach since the early 1990s. At the same time, he left his native league only in 2018, when he managed Al-Hilal. This candidacy also raises doubts: Georges has not been successful lately. Returning to Benfica in 2020, he failed to lead the club into the Champions League and was quickly knocked out of the Europa League. The Eagles spent the second half of the next campaign without him – Jesus went to Turkey, where he now serves as Fenerbahce’s mentor.
