Most common rumour I've seen is Juande Ramos.

He waved his buy out clause?! Surely that means something like the buy out clause had certain teams or time table he isn't allowed to sign in.

I really like Guus Hiddink as a replacement. Did a wonderful job in 2009.

Really bad decision by Chelsea management to part with Mourinho, in Serbia during the late 90's mobsters would go into the players dressing room at half time and would threaten to blow their kneecaps off of players that were saving there legs for some big European club that was about to buy them.

Needless to say, they played some damn good football in the second half

I have a hard time imagining who'll lead Bayern should Pep leave next summer. Not that it matters because that roster would own the German league and cup without a coach but I doubt they'll go without one : D

Might come down to Ancelotti or ... Sammer? Mou doesn't want to work in Germany and even if he was available his playstyle would not fit a team that was lead by Pep for years. Ask Fergie or Heynckes to lead for a year before they can buy Tuchel who asks his team to play a similar style? Lahm going straight from player to coach?

Shit, just saw that Hummels turned 27 today. Feels like yesterday that we won that suprising championship with a bunch of 20-22 yr olds.


I don't think there's a snowball's chance in Hell of Mou ending up at Bayern. Bayern have an image to preserve. They are the embodiment of German football in Europe, and Mou tarnishes everything he touches, even if he does win trophies. I also seriously doubt that they would be able to just buy Tuchel out of Dortmund; Tuchel seems like he has more integrity than that, especially since he just arrived and is doing so well at Dortmund.

I disagree. I think Tuchel is the kind of guy who doesn't really care about that he just arrived. If he thinks he could do well he will be gone soon, it's another step up the career ladder.

Also: DFB-Cup draws, Stuttgart vs BVB and Bayern gets to trash Bochum haha. Sad we don't have a home game but Stuttgart is the 3rd weakest team left so lucky draws for BVB and Bayern

That's why I said that Bayern could take somebody for a year and get Tuchel then. He'll never leave next summer. We won't let him go and if you force yourself out of a contract after 1 year (and a sabbatical) no management will touch you anymore.
2017 he'll have only one year left on his contract and should he tell the management that he doesn't want to extend his contract they might try to get somebody like Cocu, Sousa and sell Tuchel. Is it likely? I don't know. Depending on next years success I can easily see Tuchel staying longer.
Bayern is a step up on the career ladder but beating them in the league or CL at the moment would be like the nobel prize for football coaching. And you never know how much the Tuchel vs Klopp comparison haunts him. Winning CL while not likely with Dortmund would shut that down in his favor.


Tuchel did exactly that and BVB bought him...

He was in Mainz for five years not one. Sure he did it once but do you think his career would skyrocket if he went somewhere earns a 2nd place with the 2nd best roster, forces his leave after 1 season, gets 2nd somewhere else with the 2nd best roster, forces his leave etc etc?
People weren't all that happy with the way he left Mainz but seeing his high potential and the success he had nobody outside of that city cared all that much. But how often do you pull that kind of thing with a top 15 (20/25) club in europe?

i didnt like the signing of Tuchel because of the shit he did to force his leave at Mainz. But everybody deserves a second chance, and he is quite likeable the way he behaves + his results are amazing. He does his job well so i am fine with him.
I have the same thoughts as you, he leaves or stays, noone knows yet. Both can be likely depending on what happens. Coach is the least of my worries for the next years i have to say, it's going to be more interesting about what happens to Gündogan soon and what kind of stupidly high offers will arrive for Auba, maybe for Weigl/Kagawa or Micky as well. Spanish and English teams will start throwing their money arround if they continue to play at that level.
Not to mention players that want to leave on their own, Subotic/Sokratis both won't be happy if Hummels/Bender is the new defense (although Sokratis might return in the starting 11), Hofmann/Leitner would not be a huge loss, they never play anyway. Park might leave as well although that's no problem if Durm gets well again. And i'm not sure Ramos wants to play only 5 minutes a week.
I would love to see Ancelotti at Bayern, i like him and i think Bayern would profit.

Not too surprised about Mou getting sacked.

The Coaching Carousel is pretty standard in every international professional sport now.

Even if it doesn't do anything.

The future coach after Gus finishes up again would be either Pep, Roman's first choice and always wanted. Ancelotti due to knowing the league and we played some ok stuff under him, or if both don't want it / get other job they will punt for Simeone. Will be interesting lets put it that.

Ancelotti for me if those 3 are indeed the choices (which i expect them to be)

HAAHAH THE Mourinho apologies are hilarious. Its not his fault the players are dicks... yeah right. Sure the players have their part in it, but this is not the first time hes lost the dressing room, its just the worst thats come out of it. And that too is his own fault.

A team that dominated so heavily last year didnt just forget how to play football, nor do players lose desire to play overnight. Theres more to it than that and we've gotten to see alot of it.

So please Mou had to go, you cant replace half your starting lineup to accommodate a manager. Thats not how the math works, thats not how any kind of logic, let alone footballing logic (which can be suspect at times) works.

If you are going to defend Mou in this situation you might aswell defend Balo being misunderstood. "Why always me?"

HAHAHAhahaahahah HAHAHAhhahaha best manager in world football. Im literally falling out of my chair and my co workers are like waaahhhh ?

Ancelotti Chelsea, best Chelsea for the neutral. Its hilarious that it took them 2 extra months than was needed to figure this out.

Look out gaaaizz its the jobless one.

Please not Pep, anyone but Pep. He wouldn't last a month in a league with serious competition.

We played more than ok under Ancelotti, also I think Ancelotti is a good pick because he is always loved by the players and has a great atmosphere wherever he goes

I dont think hes particularly excited about joining that revolving door for managers anyway. He already said change 10 players or I'm not coming, which is just another way of saying not interested.

Even Simeone is for now totally not interested. The club is manager cancer now on par if not worse that RM.

1. Buy the bus
2. Park the bus
3. Crash the bus
