Conte would have Neymar throwing tantrums from Brazil quicker than het can roll around for 10 minutes because someone looked at him the wrong way. He would be a disaster at PSG.

I'd say the only thing that saves PSG is losing 2 of the three megastars up front but they won't do it so good luck to them trying to overcome it.

Sounds like Tuchel might be going back to psg. One off the list. Quite relieved by that.

Appears this is close. Very strange as he fell out with a few and the board but this shows the power Mbappe has at that club. I'm sure he loved Tuchel.

I guess there's a sense of 'we didn't realise how good we had it' now that Poch and Galtier have shown up and done significantly worse jobs than Tuchel did.

They still desperately want to win the CL and he's the manager that got them closest then immediately won it the following season with a worse squad at Chelsea so I guess they think he's their best bet still.

Conte would be the perfect manager for PSG. If that's gone not sure where he can go better than us.
The club that wants to win Champions League and the manager with awful european record. Yeah, perfect combination.

AC needs a sabbatical from football management until he is fully recovered, physically and mentally. Death of his friends and recent health issues clearly took it’s toll.

That's absolutely what he should do but he's also clearly a massive workaholic. I'm fairly sure the only reason he even took the Spurs job in the first place was because he couldn't stand being out of the game for a few months and no better offers came along.

Wouldn't be all surprised if he rolls up at somewhere like Milan in the summer if they part ways with Pioli.

We're mentioned in this article by Matt Law

Brighton are set to face a summer battle to hold on to Roberto De Zerbi - less than a year after appointing the Italian as Graham Potter’s successor.

De Zerbi has done a superb job at Brighton, continuing Potter’s fine work and taking the club to seventh place in the Premier League table and battling for European qualification.

The 43-year-old has already been linked with Tottenham Hotspur should Antonio Conte leave the London club at the end of the season. But Brighton do not just run the risk of facing interest from the Premier League, as De Zerbi is believed to have captured the attention of Italy’s top clubs.

Sources in Italy believe Roma, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus could all decide or be forced to change their managers in the summer, and De Zerbi would be considered by all four clubs, having previously impressed in Serie A with Benevento and Sassuolo before moving to Shakhtar Donetsk, where he won the Ukrainian Super Cup.

De Zerbi, who reports in Italy have claimed has an £11.5million release clause in his Brighton contract, is understood to have been frustrated by the fact he could not sign more players in the January transfer window to boost the club’s bid for Europe.

And De Zerbi faces losing midfielder Moises Caicedo, who was the subject of rejected bids from Chelsea and Arsenal in January, at the end of the season.

Brighton lost at home to Fulham at the weekend and De Zerbi’s anger boiled over as he was sent off in the tunnel after the game for complaining to referee Darren England about a meeting regarding officiating.

While the club will be desperate to keep De Zerbi, Brighton allowed Potter to speak to Chelsea and eventually leave after the Blues agreed to pay his release clause, rather than trying to hold him against his will.

Would love De Zerbi. Him, Amorim and Gallardo are the guys I hope we decide between. You can insert any other trendy project manager and I’ll nod in agreement.

Not saying I want Poch back but after stumbling across this again on Youtube, I got a bit nostalgic/sad when comparing to how we play now:

get Mitoma with him pls
I'd be hugely concerned about DeZerbi. I'm not saying he's not an excellent manager but the body of evidence is not enough to take us on. That Brighton team was a really drilled team. I'd be interested to see how he goes in his 2nd season once a few teams work out how to counteract there style of play

A club where he'll have zero control, massive scrutiny about his playing style, 3 forwards with colossal egos who don't press, barely run off the ball and can't be dropped, and huge pressure to do well in Europe where he's traditionally terrible.

What could possibly go wrong?

Even if Conte wanted to go to PSG he's not the kind of guy they'd pick. There's a reason none of the uber clubs like Madrid and PSG have gone for Conte when he's been available.

I'd be amazed if his next job isn't back in Italy.
If it's true Simeone is leaving, i think Atletico would be a good fit. It would give him an opportunity to win one of the big leagues he hasn't conquered yet.

He’s flavour of the month at the moment but he’s not been here anywhere near long enough to know if he has what it takes to manage a top team. Let alone be part of a huge rebuild.

People have short memories. In previous years, De Zebri could have been replaced in peoples affections by Marco Silva, Roberto Martinez, Ralf Rabbithutch etc etc.

He’s seemingly doing a good job at a well run club. But it’s not like he’s had to change much there.

De Zerbi and Frank whilst very good coaches work and thrive at clubs with a clearly defined strategy, concise player recruitment and incredibly clever people behind the scenes who all pull together seamlessly. I certainly know that from the Brentford crew.

Under a Levy environment it just wouldn’t work. How he operates is the opposite.

Truth is, to me, Conte was the very last throw of the dice under ENIC. Honestly don’t think it matters who we appoint under that lot if we want good football and trophy success.
