We gave King Kenny the job while he was still playing for us. Worked out weirdly well though.

But I don’t think he’d have gotten the job (or the quick contract offer) at all on his credentials at all. But he was appointed as a caretaker at first, tbf. But I’m with @The Artful Dodger on this one. It seems fairly common that a fairly inexperienced manager that’s a former player gets a chance that another novice manager probably wouldn’t get if not for who they were. Tbh, I don’t think Gerrard or Lampard would have gotten their jobs at Rangers and Derby if not for the fact they were 2 of the best midfielders in England for a very long time - so sometimes you don’t even need to be a legend of the club you’re taking over to get a chance you’re maybe... not “qualified” for. I do think it’s weird for Juve, because how do they really improve on the past... however many seasons of constantly winning Serie A? You’ve got to win the Serie A & CL to top that probably. So that’s a big ask for Pirlo, who’s not really got any experience whatsoever.
Cicero Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 NewCiro Venerato (Rai Journalist): “I received a phone call from Figline Valdarno (where Sarri lives) from friends of the former Juventus manager, and I discovered interesting things. Maurizio Sarri has not signed with any team. A month ago he said no to Marseille. Arsenal and Tottenham are following him, as well as Roma”.
Whiskey Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Sarri is a good coach. Not elite, but a good coach. He would have been a real coup for the likes of Marseille and I think he would probably doing OK (steady) with an Arsenal or Spurs.
Cicero Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 He's an excellent coach. I'd love to see him back in the Prem.
