The Bayern coach is also at risk.
Erik ten Hag (Manchester United)
Since the sale of part of the shares of the English club to the British billionaire Ratcliffe is delayed, the Glazers do not make any decisions on the future of Ten Hag. Perhaps the Dutchman will be able to work after being eliminated from the Champions League. On Tuesday Manchester United We need a home win against Bayern. But the German favorite was angered by the defeat in the Bundesliga by a crushing score. Tuchel can take it out on the English. Furthermore, the victory of Copenhagen or Galatasaray – any of the competitors in a head-to-head match – means Ten Hag’s departure from the Champions League, regardless of the result at Old Trafford. Only a combination of success with Bayern and a draw in the parallel match will suit us. If we add this year’s adventures, such as the 0:7 defeat against Liverpool, or the failure of the new season nuclear submarinein which Manchester United It won’t be easy to get into the top 4, but there are many reasons for the coach’s resignation. Even without talking about the climate in the team’s locker room. Ten Hag has been playing with fire for a long time. If it flies away Champions Leagueand Bayern will smear Manchester United at Old Trafford, Eric will return home to Holland.
Maurizio Sarri (Lazio)
In early October, Eagles management spoke with Tudor. The former Juventus defender and specialist, who worked in Serie A with Udinese and Verona, has earned a good reputation. Not everything worked out for the Croatian at Marseille, but for the Romans the young coach is a good alternative to Sarri. Inzaghi was promoted to Inter, with whom he leads the table, but the Eagles, after last season’s success, have slipped to an inappropriate ninth place, level with Monza and adjacent to Torino. Lazio have achieved one victory in the last five rounds. Sarri can sink the rejection of De Laurentiis, owner of Napoli, by Tudor, with whom the Italian champions were negotiating. The Eagles are starting to tire of the rebellious ex-banker. Reaching the Champions League playoffs does not guarantee the continuity of Mauricio’s work. Furthermore, this mentor knows how to argue with the management of his clubs.
Thomas Tuchel (Bayern)
Another example where the character can prevail over Thomas’ coaching class. The coach has already made enemies in Munich, for example Bayern’s honorary eminence grise Hoeness. Uli does not like Tuchel and considers Nagelsmann’s resignation a mistake – this decision was made by Kahn and Salihamidzic, who were removed from the club. Since Thomas has not yet ruined the season at Bayern, he remains in his place. But as soon as it becomes clear that the giants risk losing not only victories in the Super Cup and Cup – Tuchel missed these two trophies, but could also lose to Bayer’s Xabi Alonso in the Bundesliga, then conflicts will begin in the Munich locker rooms. Kane didn’t move to Germany to remain trophyless. And given that Ancelotti will remain at Real Madrid and Klopp at Liverpool, young manager Xabi Alonso could move to familiar Monaco. Then Tuchel will be sacked, which has happened to him many times, regardless of success or merit.
Stefano Pioli (Milan)
Sarri has already won the Europa League, Tuchel won the Champions League and Pioli reached the semi-finals of the prestigious tournament last spring. But the experience of European success does not guarantee mentors a place at the helm of ambitious clubs. Milan has inconsistent management. First they said there was no money, firing Maldini, then they found a transfer budget for a new director. Now there is talk of replacing Pioli with coach Ibrahimovic, even if Zlatan is certainly not the new Guardiola. Today Zlatan has been tasked with managing Milan’s affairs. But in the future, if Pioli were to jeopardize the club’s place in the top four, where Napoli and Lazio are also aiming, the Swede could be chosen as interim coach. Or they will find another specialist. The list is usually long, and not only Antonio Conte is free. Milan is unstable and slips to third place, Inter and Juventus take the lead, the Rossoneri lose in Bergamo following an assist from Miranchuk.
Maurizio Pochettino (Chelsea)
Although he was a Champions League finalist with Tottenham, another London club could receive his resignation. Boeli understands that the coach’s leapfrog will begin to raise questions for him personally, especially in connection with unsuccessful transfers for crazy money. This is why UK bookmakers do not believe in Pochettino’s immediate departure. There, after all, the issue of compensation is still acute. But there are reasons to part ways: Chelsea are closer to the relegation zone than the top four. The new coach of the Argentine team has in fact been assigned the task of returning to the Champions League. The danger is that players of Enzo Fernandez’s level will not play for the middle peasants and it will become more difficult to attract respectable players. Pochettino is only saved because failures have happened before him. In addition to a bad match: Chelsea has achieved one victory in the last five rounds nuclear submarine, rays of hope are visible on the horizon. We do not exclude that Pochettino has not yet lost the dressing room, and the club management blames the seven defeats suffered nuclear submarine soccer players. Forward Jackson made mistakes, goalkeeper Sanchez made mistakes and Sterling and Thiago Silva played below their capabilities. But if Caicedo and Fernandez get along, if the laterals begin to make timely passes to Mudryk more often, then Chelsea will rise and save a new part of Pochettino’s career.
However, in all cases, a resounding defeat is enough to make the club managers’ patience burst. Mourinho told how his father, also a coach, was sacked after a phone call on Christmas Eve. I had to spend the main family holiday of Christians in despondency. This is the fate of a mentor: always with one foot outside the threshold of the club office, especially at the level nuclear submarineSerie A and Bundesliga.
