Are you serious?

It is surprising if it is true. I would go back 10 steps.

AVB went to Zenit after Spurs as well.

 

[Tucker]

He’d be bonkers to go there. Think this would do more damage to his reputation than getting sacked from Spurs to be honest.

What a step backwards. Here I thought he'd be lining up a job in one of Europe's top 10 clubs.

 

[Sum Monsterism]

Staggering. You can't help but think that United or Madrid would take him as their next boss without even going through a process.

AVB went to Zenit after Spurs as well.

Difference is AVB had just had 2 chances to prove himself at the top level and failed miserably at both. Porch is one of the highest rated young managers in the world at the moment and linked with the likes of Madrid and Man Utd. Going to Russia would be a massive backwards step IMO

At least Zenit has a relatively new stadium.

At least Zenit has a relatively new stadium.

He loves a new stadium. Who doesn't?

I hope he doesn't go there. I loathe that club (remember their "Section 12" stating they shouldn't sign black players?) and by definition would have to then loathe him

It seems to be an idea put forwards by the constant media support for him, and fans who generally like him, but on a footballing level it would seem that not one club of that type has been interested over the last year.
On that basis, it's plausible to think that he's not as highly rated within football as he is by people outside of it, if that makes sense?
