Matthew Le God Posted 10 June, 2016 Share Posted 10 June, 2016 Wonder if the mystery man is the Rayo Vallecano manager Paco Jemez. Fits the profile of a young manager who plays pressing football but more attacking than Pochettino and has done well considering the clubs small budget. Saw someone on Twitter mention that he had an offer from an English club and seeing as we are the only manager less PL club it could be us. Interesting shout...they have had a good season ??? They were relegated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convict Colony Posted 10 June, 2016 Share Posted 10 June, 2016 http://outsideoftheboot.com/2015/08/27/tactical-philosophy-paco-jemez/ Sounds like he has an very exciting style, I like the sound of him for sure, good find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint IQ Posted 10 June, 2016 Share Posted 10 June, 2016 I'm sorry but why the clamour for Vitor Pereira? Doesn't seem to have a brilliant managerial background. What makes him perfect for Saints? Apologies if already stated pages ago. I don't get the hype for him either. I'll throw another name into the hat Could Jorge Jesus be managing at the Virgin St Mary's Stadium this season?

Badger Posted 10 June, 2016 Share Posted 10 June, 2016 ??? They were relegated! As was Strachan immediately before he joined us. But yes, its always a worry. On the other hand when a potential name is put forward having won their leagues (FDB , Marco Silva) they are dismissed having won titles in tin pot leagues with big clubs.

themasoon Posted 10 June, 2016 Share Posted 10 June, 2016 But he kept them up for many seasons despite having by far the smallest budget and having to sell their best players every year. It's equivalent to what Martinez did at Wigan but far better as the disparity in budgets between Rayo Vallecano and the rest of the league is far greater with no equal tv pay and a rumoured budget of only €7 mil a year to cover all costs.

So it might have been (I don't have the impetus to check) but on browsing the current J League managers there is no-one that looks like our kinda chap.

Saint IQ Posted 10 June, 2016 Share Posted 10 June, 2016 Eusebio Di Francesco the Sassuolo manager has he been mentioned? Won Serie B with them got sacked the following January only to come back in March and miraculously keep them up, then guided them to a 12th place 14/15 And a very impressive 6th place last season considering they're one of the smallest teams in the league.

Badger Posted 10 June, 2016 Share Posted 10 June, 2016 Well he's not decomposing but 46 hardly fits the description of a "young" coach. Anything much younger though and some might label them "inexperienced", ie Howe, & Silva. AVB is perhaps the exception to this as still young, but quite experienced (certainly experienced of getting the sack). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he was appointed they rocketed up Ligue 2 and ended up in 4th place. If they had scored one more goal in their final match, they would've been promoted. I still am going for the mystery manager being Caleb Porter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
