I changed from Mourinho to De Boer based on De Boer bringing his assistants with him (R.De Boer/Jaap Stam/Bergkamp) as they have played at the very top in all areas of the teams spine + Overmars as Director of football...add in a class GK coach and thats a "whose who" of recent footballing superstars which attracts players.
Also we have Stones,Barkley,Lukaku,Deulofeu + Robles,Mori,Besic,McCarthy who can all learn and develop under the management team. Additonally its a lower risk for us to have such a management team rather than just one single figure as manager.
On top of this, the Ajax team has alot of u21 players which bodes well for us with a fair amount of defenders and midfielders getting full national caps before hitting 21.
Galloway
Kenny
Connolly
Holgate
All defenders who could be brought through and developed by this group.
Walsh
Ledson
Davies
Dowell
All midfielders who could be developed.
Theres 8 players there who have a chance under some amazing former players they can look up to.
I think the ages of the management team are all 40s which breeds longevity and i look at the names and think Stonss,Lukaku and Barkley would be excited to work with them.
Would they be as excited under Pelligrini? For me not at all...Emery, not really...Mourinho they may well be excited to work for a winner but worried about how chelsea imploded and footballers talk...
As an individual manager im sure Cocu would be arguably better from holland but as a group and a management team this is very impressive.
