Saint IQ Posted 9 June, 2016 Share Posted 9 June, 2016 SAMPAOLI IN LINE FOR SEVILLA Sevilla are likely to replace Unai Emery with former Chile coach Jorge Sampaoli, reports Marca. Emery is expected to accept an offer from PSG which will bring his successful three-season stint at Sevilla to a close. As such, Sevilla have been linked with several names in recent weeks, including Manuel Pellegrini, Rudi Garcia and Claude Puel. However, Marca now says that Sampaoli is all set to take the job at Sevilla when Emery leaves. http://granadacf.ideal.es/noticias/201606/09/entorno-jorge-sampaoli-aleja-20160609111931.html posted this on the other thread but this says he was on Argentinian radio saying he's keeping his options open and has many possibilities on the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(you get to watch a lot of random spanish soccer in the states) as far as i'm concerned, the things that hurt him at MCFC were 120k-per-week egos (no problem there) and fans with stupid expectations (we can hope.)

We have had the best defence in Portugal for the last two years.” Pereira admits he has faced frustration at Porto, where he has had to sell some of the club’s stars, but has also had the opportunity to work with top talents like Joao Moutinho and Falcao. “There are two parts to our job,” he said. “One is to find the young players before other clubs do. “And then the other part is to help develop them. We look in countries where players tend to have creativity in their game, and then the coach’s job here is to teach them the tactics, the organisation, that you need to thrive in Europe. The players who move on take most of the credit, but for the coaches it is proof that we are doing our job. “It is an honour for me to have worked with so many fantastic players. It is a point of pride to see them move on, to a better league, because it is a mark of my work. “But the problem is that every year the best players are sold; we cannot build a team. Every year, we start again.” If Pereira were asked to help Everton start again in the summer, the fluent English speaker would inherit at least one player he knows well.

Nordic Saint Posted 9 June, 2016 Share Posted 9 June, 2016 I'm beginning to get the impression it will be somebody cheap that no other club wants. I really hope I'm wrong. Emery or De Boer are clearly the preferred candidates in our poll and would really lift our spirits. But, I guess Emery would be considered too expensive as he'd cost almost as much as Koeman. De Boer has said he wants to manage a Premier League club and we're the only vacancy, but this doesn't sound good: Albers told the Daily Echo: “I’ve talked to Les Reed every three days over the last five weeks, we have a good relationship, but we have not discussed Frank de Boer at any moment.” Let's hope a cheap option works, and it might well, but in initially it's going to seem a bit of an anti-climax.

He's won titles in a very weak league as PSG dominance has shown since their investment (31 points above 2nd last season) and they've won it 4/5 years since the takeover..Narrowly and shockingly missing out to Montpellier in the first full season of investment. Bordeaux title 2008-9 more impressive but the league was even weaker then and I just don't rate him and his mannerisms personally, don't think he'd be a good fit for us.
