This is not a rumour or inside information. I've already posted the info I know about our current predicament.
I was looking at some of the managers who's contracts expire in the summer. I've seen both Iraola and Glasner mentioned a bit, even Silva got a mention. One I've not seen mentioned is Dider Deschamps. I don't watch international footy, other than the world cup but I know he did well at Monaco, Juve and Marseille prior to taking over as France manager. Which has spanned 13 years and a world cup win, I think he is one of only 3 to win a world cup as a player and manager.
He's been out of club management a long time but has good pedigree.
If he was an option, would you take him of we were to cut ties with Slot in the summer?

No. Would take iraola over him.

His managerial career at club was fairly unremarkable. I don’t think he’d handle the demands of club management.

He;s a great water carrier though.

The Fields, certainly a tad left field that one!, I wouldn't actually chance him, Would you?

Not for me and, for what it's worth, I think France have actually underperformed under his management. With their talent pool they should be winning absolutely everything in my opinion. An embarrassment of riches all over the pitch, sacre bleu!

I don’t think it’s a good choice tbh to long out of regular management. but say to unremarkable is mental he’s won wherever he’s gone. he only left Juve due to the ownership being morons.

Isn't he known for turgid and boring football?
02 Dec 2025 06:39:52
Iraola for me.

Iraola plus Areola on the pitch roller with the Rola Cola.

Shanklys Ghost. Honestly, I like him as a manager but have concerns about the fact he has been out of club management for a long time. He would need time to adjust, something I don't think he would be afford by some fans.

Alonso would be a long term, legacy manager. I could see him staying as long as Klopp or longer.
Whatever is happening at Madrid is mostly related to entitled players being forced into changes which have affected some of the creature comforts the players have had.
The game is changing - talent alone is not enough.

@Fields, Deschamps? If good footie is what you are looking for then, Deschamps is the last guy anyone should be looking at. Hard pass.
