Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Ancelotti is still a class act. He did win the Champions League and Cup with Madrid... Then nothing in his second season. Real Madrid winning big trophies is hardly unexpected. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,640 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Then nothing in his second season. Real Madrid winning big trophies is hardly unexpected. They hadn't won the CL in 15 years... I agree Ancelotti is not the best move for Liverpool, but I'm not getting drawn into a debate about his merits as a manager. He is a class act. simple. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearman 9 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Juventus, Chelsea and Real Madrid all clearly disagree given they sacked him. Then again you could say they thought a lot of him or wouldn't have bothered in the first place. Football is full of hiring and sacking, the managers (the good ones) don't care about that issue, it's the norm for these individuals, the money's good along with the glamour and attention. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 850 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Juventus, Chelsea and Real Madrid all clearly disagree given they sacked him. Being sacked by Chelsea and Real Madrid shouldn't mark and x on a CV though under the circumstances, those two go through managers left right and centre unless they win titles and cup every season. Back to Klopp and Ancelotti for Liverpool, Klopp would be the better fit for them IMO although De Boer is now a contender which is an interesting option. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to Klopp and Ancelotti for Liverpool, Klopp would be the better fit for them IMO although De Boer is now a contender which is an interesting option. Chelsea were just absolutely appalling in his second season, it completely changed my opinion of him. I never wanted him in the first place though, his last two seasons at Milan were trophyless. with them finishing 5th in 07/08 and 3rd in 08/09. A club like Chelsea should always be looking for managers with current success, rather than a history of it. That said, Chelsea were spectacular in his first season, but as previously discussed, were dreadful in the second, after the 3-0 defeat at home to Sunderland. He also spent > £100m that season. He showed at Milan, until his last two seasons, that he can be a good manager. However, I don't consider him to be an elite one, and based on his Premiership performance in his second season, I don't think he would be a great choice for Liverpool. Particularly given he will have nowhere near the level of funds he had at Chelsea. Of course though, it all depends on who the best candidate is that Liverpool can attract. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,640 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 De Boer is an interesting option, but I'm not sure whether winning the Eredivisie is necessarily suggestive of ability. I think he needs to move to another club and league first before we can really judge him. Again, Klopp would be an excellent signing for Liverpool. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His record speaks for itself: Juventus UEFA Intertoto Cup: 1999 Milan Serie A: 2003–04 Coppa Italia: 2002–03 Supercoppa Italiana: 2004 UEFA Champions League: 2002–03, 2006–07 UEFA Super Cup: 2003, 2007 FIFA Club World Cup: 2007 Chelsea Premier League: 2009–10 FA Cup: 2009–10 FA Community Shield: 2009 Paris Saint-Germain Ligue 1: 2012–13 Real Madrid Copa del Rey: 2013–14 UEFA Champions League: 2013–14 UEFA Super Cup: 2014 FIFA Club World Cup: 2014 Bayern Munich Bundesliga: 2016–17 DFL-Supercup: 2016, 2017 Individual Serie A Coach of the Year: 2001, 2004[180] Panchina d'Oro: 2002–03, 2003–04[181] Ligue 1 Manager of the Year: 2012–13 (tie with Christophe Galtier) IFFHS World's Best Club Coach: 2007, 2014[182] European Coach of the Year—Alf Ramsey Award: 2003 World Soccer Magazine Manager of the Year: 2003[183] Globe Soccer Awards Best Coach of the Year: 2014[184] Globe Soccer Awards Best Media Attraction in Football: 2014[184] Enzo Bearzot Award: 2014[185] FIFA World Coach of the Year (Runner-up): 2014[186] Miguel Muñoz Trophy: 2014–15 Italian Football Hall of Fame: 2015[121] A.C. Milan Hall of Fame A.S. Roma Hall of Fame The sheer number and variety (leagues and counties) is second to none. Not even Guardiola, Mourinho nor Conte have won the Intertoto. I rest my case. Although, that Bayern team was really performing poorly. Edited September 28, 2017 by Rousseau 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
