Xabi Alonso has a clause in his Bayer Leverkusen contract which would allow him to become manager of any of his former clubs - Liverpool, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich - as early as next summer. (www.dailymail.co.uk)

Didn't everyone think the same about Arsene Wenger?

[–] RiverGyoll@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He was sacked after years of mediocrity, not a bad run or even a season.

Years of mediocrity, falling out with sections of the fans for extended periods of time, poor transfers, lack of CL, stagnating methods and staff appointments, couldn’t win a game away from home…it was time to go sadly.

Didn't he just retire. I won't know for sure. I'd rather call it retirement ?

He went on to work for FIFA on football policies, but as far as coaching is concerned he’s basically retired (not officially but he’s 73 and seems to be enjoying his life so I think coming back out to coach isn’t on his agenda).

Yeah, you really went forward when you sacked him.

[–] skunkrider@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

...that he stays with us, you mean? 🤨

[–] Marloneious@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did I say we went forward or did I just list some of the reasons why he left (because he wasn’t sacked).

[–] Streef_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In fairness you did you forward, but it just took a little bit to build up a new dynasty. Not exactly Man U type shit lol

[–] G0ncalo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmao yeah, Wenger at least got top 4 every season. It took Arsenal almost a decade to find their form again.

TIL 2018 - 2023 is a decade
