Arteta actually sounds like an interesting proposition. Instead of looking for "young and promising" managers at European clubs, why not hire someone straight off a backroom coaching position? Especially someone who's captained the side as a player and by the sounds of it, is getting some good results behind the scenes in his current role as coach. I mean, what are the other options at the moment? Howe? Dyche? Tuchel? Simeone? Allegro? Ancelotti? Jardim? I dunno, those seem like dull, and in some cases, unrealistic options.

Either way, it's still too soon to really say for sure. But, Arteta is definitely one to think about in the not too distant future.

I would love Bergkamp as a coach but not manager. The Dutch don't have a good track record right now.

 

[Bergkamp a Dutch Master]

and the French do?

Ummm... what? This thread is about a Spaniard.

Wenger is French - was that lost on you?

I guess so... because he's proven.

 

[mavelous]

i would even take Mickey Mouse at this stage.

he's proven to have lost the plot these last 5 years.

Took you over an hour to come up with that. Good job.

 

[Bergkamp a Dutch Master]

Ajax fans are not big fans of Dennis Bergkamp right now . They're happy he left!

That's an odd one.

Interesting.

Guardiola took an already great team and made them easily the best team in the world. A team that would rival any other great team assembled on the planet in footballs history. While the team was already a very good team with great players, very few managers would have done what he did as well as he did.

Question his status as a highly revered manager if you must, but it's a bit of a stretch to consider him average. Average compared to whom?

He is only seeking attention.

Why is Bergkamp getting all the blame for their semi crisis. I dont understand...

Zidane wins titles as manager to

1 league and 2 champions leauge in 3 years

nobody is saying he is an exceptional manager

at that level it is more about if they can do the job or not

just like an American Idol/Britain got talent winner isn't a great artist, to be great you must play in a garage first, do a tour of dive bars and progress from festival to stadiums of your own to build up your legacy.

I was surprised to hear that as well. I was of the believe that he would be good to have at our club before I heard he's a bit of a tyrant. He's a perfectionist in his life, maybe he expects the same out of all the players there.

nice change from complacent Wenger?

One of the skills in management, and I'm not talking just football here, is to know your players. I have found across elite sports that former elite players generally don't transfer well to coaching due to their perfectionist traits not jiving well across a whole squad of players/athletes.

Yeah makes sense.

Would you guys take a manager who would make his players take drugs to the limit in order to gain that physical advantage over others?
