Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

[Eggs]

Cannavaro would be the sort of utterly bizarre appointment I'd expect them to make

….probably recommended by Benitez.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

The stench of corruption coming off any move for Cannavaro is terrifying. Martinez or Mourinho would be bad appointments but at least based on managerial CVs you could *make a case*.

 

[ToffeeTim]

….I’d imagine if Lampard has had an interview he is interested in the job.

I can't imagine him not being interested. We are a big club for a young manager looking a route back into the PL.

 

[Blue83]

Can we not have both ? Fab to sort out the defence and Frank to sort the midfield ?

 

[Dixieslaces]

Cannavaro will relegate us.

Cannavaro OUT!

 

[ToffeeTim]

Like I don't really have a problem with them interviewing Fabio Cannavarro. This is not some nobody and I would rather they interview too many candidates than too few. I'm just not sure we should be looking another boss who's last coaching or management job was in the Chinese super league.

 

[Tommy Chong]

He has only managed in China and the Middle East. He just left Guangzhou.

He probably sent his CV knowing he'd be a long shot.

He's just taking a cheeky chance. No way we hire him.

must be with the China link, or maybe Ham-ezzz is referring his new colleagues back to FM.

After his retirement, Cannavaro became a member of the coaching staff of Al-Ahli, notably as global ambassador and technical director from 2011 to 2013, and as an assistant coach from 2013 to 2014. In November 2014, he was appointed as head coach of Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande. On 9 June 2016, he signed a contract with second-tier Chinese club Tianjin Quanjian as manager where he led the team to the league title. He returned to Guangzhou Evergrande in 2017 and was briefly appointed as manager of the China national team in 2019. He left Guangzhou again in September 2021.

This is terrifying. I wouldn't consider that CV for an MLS club. No disrespect to MLS.

What the actual f is going on????

 

[MACCA75]

I’m surprised Shevchenko hasn’t been mentioned. Would be right up Usmanov/Mosh’s street.

 

[MrGrumpy]

At least he plays 4-3-3

I do. Management focus is a finite resource in the best of times and in the best run outfits, and we have neither here.

Plus, it's one more data point in "these guys are utterly, completely, and irredeemably clueless and dysfunctional."

can anyone smell that??

stinks of relegation to me

I'd rather be thorough when we are about to have the winter break.

Were looking for an immediate boost...

...i wonder if world cup winner and ballon d'or champion Cannavaro would inspire the troops?

Such a pity we couldnt hold onto Ancelotti as it would have been nice to bring in Pirlo and Cannavaro under him as assistants lol

On a serious note though, surprising he didnt go for a role in Italy.

must be with the China link, or maybe Ham-ezzz is referring his new colleagues back to FM.

Whats terrifying about it?

He was amazing in China by all accounts.

Fluent in Italian, Spanish and English...bloke is pretty astute as well.
