Doesn’t sound like the coach we need. Think better options in the PL but paratici does like to dip into his homeland a lot.

Management So (hypothetically) who replaces Ange then?

Needed one win in his last 6 games to win the league right? And bottled it. No thanks.
De Zerbi's got Marseille into the CL and is saying he 100% wants to stay next season. Marseilles are a mad club with an absolute tool (Longoria) of a President, which managers continually struggle to work with, so De Zerbi could still walk. He would probably be the most evolutionary option to Ange and would mean a degree of continuity within the academy coaching etc.
The point I wanted to make, was that he may be falling in line with Palace's standards, but if he comes to Spurs, he won't be dealing with a squad of 25+ year old experienced veterans; he will have to get a tune out of a group of players, with a significant number of them being young, with very limited experience (Bergvall, Gray, Dragusin, VDV, Sarr, Udogie, Moore, Johnson, Kinsky, Spence, Yang, Vlahovic).
Building a young squad, from the ground up takes a very different skill set vs inheriting a squad of experienced players in their prime.
He's lost 11 games this season and won a first ever FA Cup for Palace.
The season we took Pochettino he lost 12 games with Saints.
I'm not sure why people are downplaying Glasners achievements this year?
It seems like what some posters on here want is someone that:
- Can develop youth
- Plays attacking football
- Can excel beyond expectations
- Proven at a big club
- Consistently gets results
- Champions league pedigree
Unless we can clone Jurgen Klopp, why would any manager that meets all these requirements want to come to the current train wreck at N17?
Agree. It does seem that many fans don't know what they want.
Do you want to develop a young team over many seasons; or buy established players ang get immediate results? Clearly, the latter is not possible for Spurs since they cannot attract (or will pay for) top talent.
So, just like we did under Poch, we have to get young players and develop them. This is not an attractive prospect for "elite" coaches who want immediate success (e.g. Pep, Conte, Mourinho); and it seems it is not an attractive prospect for the fans, who have tasted life in the top 4, and will accept nothing less.
Closest to meeting all that is Xavi
