New Manager??

[BelfastAndy]

There's a "The Boot Room" article relating to possible new manager, featuring Iraola, and they quote scouting outlet Breaking the Lines who last year said;

"His philosophy is refreshingly high risk, high reward, relying squarely on athleticism and commitment to maintain some sort of order within the chaos, whereby attacks are full-blooded and direct, and defence is immediate and aggressive.”

Sound horribly familiar.

Posted background on Slot in another thread - he looks v good and has worked his way up from youth set ups. His style of football and tactics seem somewhat more revolved that Jesse’s. Would be happy with him.

Not sure about that as press here are saying he has asked for permission to leave but club don't want him to !!!

From the little information out there it looks like we speak to one person at a time and move on to the next person when the first says no.

If true seems bonkers I would have thought you speak to several simultaneously and pick the best one available and willing to come so that you have a choice.

If they are doing what the media suggest sounds a little how we try to sign strikers - that said if we end up with the managerial equivalent of Gnonto then happy days.

Ivan Juric the Croatian Coach at Torino of Italy now been mentioned on Twitters Italian news breakers - as now reporting that Feyenoord are ‘not open to Slot’s departure’ and that in other words they won’t let him go.
The Croatian is said to be adaptable and flexible in his tactical approach which varies from different opponents as well as the players he’s got at his disposal.

He has been known to use different formations and systems, including a 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, and a 3-5-2, in order to get the best results & is, err a fiery character apparently.

Hell, is Simon Grayson on this list one wonders as everyone else is today.

Still nothing conclusive from the Argentina latest 'tweets' that Marcelo Gallardo (River Plate's most successful manager) who Leeds approached after ending his eight year tenure in charge of the Argentinian giants, although local sports channels state he's not interested in considering any offer - maybe miffed by Radz treatment of Bielsa.

The smoke that was promised a few days ago seems to have been extinguished

[norfolk white]

Seems nobody wants to come, bit of a hot seat.
