Gattuso and Pirlo linked 

It doesnt actually say we are looking at him. It just says that he is someone we COULD be interested in. 

 

Gattuso, without excluding the other 'unemployed' Italian Andrea Pirlo, is a profile that can 'fascinate' Leicester, with its agent Jorge Mendes that we know boast a great 'influence' in English football of top level

Interesting either way, that it has been leaked presumably from Mendes and co.

Those that wanted Sean Dyche could get their wish sooner rather than later, unbelievable he’s mentioned 😂

It’s little wonder some of our fans think we’re overachieving if they think Dyche is our level

Gattuso and Pirlo linked 

They coming in to play midfield?? 

 

Didn't even know Pirlo was a manager to be honest.

[winteriscoming]

I’d be happy with Gattuso. We need a right bastard on the touch line as well as a few starting for us. 

[David Hankey]

Donald Duck, Capt. Birdseye or Uncle Tom Cobley, they've all been linked!!

Absolutely horrendous record at scoring goals and developing young players, especially through the academy. It's a huge no from me.

Me too.  But it's not us making the call.  I worry about the board.

[Ric Flair]

Hasn't Gattuso got some questionable views on certain topics? 

 

I'm fascinated by Xabi Alonso as a manager, would be a huge punt as he's very unproven but doesn't mean we couldn't make such a move.

Alonso for some reason is the one that interest me. Loved him as a footballer. How’s he doing as a coach?

Yeah I'd swerve him, Spurs weren't keen on him because of it

Yeah just seen about that, it was probably the main reason he didn't get the Spurs job, massive backlash from their fans

 

Historic comments regarding the role of women in football, same-sex marriage and racism

He also left Fiorentina after a few weeks after falling out with them over something to do with Mendes. Probably not the most stable option either

So far managed a Real Madrid youth team and won the league thrn went to Real Sociedad B and got them promoted to La Liga 2. Very early days in his managerial career and he says he's in no rush to reach the top but that he will do. Would be a punt, similar tonCambiasso would be.

Pirlo won two trophies in his only season as a manager at Juventus. Might be worth to gamble on

Emery would be a sideways step in terms of entertainment value, but if we did get him then I’d lump on us winning the conference league.

....he was poor at Arsenal, still not convinced about him coming here!!!

Urs Fischer from Union Berlin

 

Got them promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time in their history in 18/19 in his first season in charge

 

In 19/20 they finished 11th, and were closer to European football qualification than the relegation zone

 

In 20/21 they finished 7th and qualified for Europa Conference, conceding only the 4th most goals, 1 less than Bayern

 

Currently they are in 4th, unlikely to challenge for the top 3 but look to have a good chance of getting that 4th spot and Champions League football

 

Current contract runs out next year

 

Oversaw quite a rebuild this summer as they released/sold 14 players, 9 of which were players with 25+ appearances last season

 

Brought in mostly frees or very cheap players to replace them all, highest fee was £5m to make a loan from last season permanent, highest fee after that was £2m

Now I'm listening. What's his track record at bringing through young players? I could look but I've had a bottle of Malbec

[Corky]

If they are going to sack him (which I don't think they will) the owners will want someone with Premier League experience.

 

Somebody like Nuno would be in contention.

The only stumbling block I see with Nuno is the Mendes connection. One of the better things we’ve done is swerved connections with agents. 
 

I actually think Nuno could be a worthwhile stopgap in terms of sorting this horrid defence out. But by second season, we’d be wanting something more dynamic 

[TMELcfc]

Get Nigel back... 

[orangecity23]

Gattuso clearly has heard of us though...

 

[Silver surfer 1]

Pirlo for me , done decent in a short spell at Juv , I’d take a punt on him defo .  Not Gutuso 

[Stadt]

Nuno is shit

 

 

If we opt for a manager based on name recognition we don’t deserve any success.
