So we need to find a manager from one of the smaller clubs who gets his team to play possession football.You miss out one crucial part of the analysis; which is, does the STYLE that the coach uses able to scale up to a club with higher expectations?
That’s why Bayern still went for Kompany despite Burnley going down with little resistance.
Pochettino’s style was able to translate to a bigger club and the likes of Frank/Nuno’s wasn’t.
I tend to think Frank was chosen because Lange knows him from a team they were both involved with in Denmark.
