I don’t want Amorim. The more I have read analysis on him the more similar to Conte he appears. Here is a brief analysis covering this as an example, read the full thread. Matches with what I’ve seen of Sporting:


Yea completely agree mate, I posted similar feedback yesterday, really not keen on him now.

JN or Slot all the way 🙏

On average, Sporting like to aim for a +60% possession rate against their opponents.
Out of possession, Amorim’s Sporting is one of the most intense teams in Portugal.


He is not a defensive coach.
Think they had about 32% possession against Arsenal in one of the legs when they were at Home and 41% away against us under conte when we were a low possession side ourselves.

I think from watching them they’re marginally more good to watch than us under Conte but how much of that is down to their small and technical passing and dribbling players vs coaching and tactics?

For me Almorim is too similar to conte, he’s not as bad as Glassner’s 3-4-3 though, his 3-4-3 is just like contes counter attacks focus mainly.

Whereas Naglesman, Slot, Kompany would all play high possession, high pressing, attacking free flowing entertaining football.

I think Almorim is a good young coach but I think we’d get bored unfortunately and that is the last thing we need After the last 3 years.

And apart from tactics, we need a coach who can build a great bond with and between the players. If we forget this quality, we will fail again. I fear a second avb.

Look at their possession in the CL group stage and against Scum in the Europa. They had lower possession average than both us and Marseille in the group stage.

It is very easy to have possession in Portugal if you are Benfica, Porto or Sporting.

I stand by what I said, if you watch them closely they are very similar to us under Conte, they just have more smaller and technical players who make it look better aesthetically.

He shouldn’t be on our list.

Exactly. Our press is either non existent or one person at a time which makes it totally ineffective.

Nagelsmann wanted Kane at Bayern and he loves a press so no in sure Harry could do it within an organised team.
Forgot about this. Hats off to Levy - in order to not let Kane leave for Bayern, he's attempting to bring the Bayern (Nagelsmann) to Kane. 😅

And If Kane happens to have a drop in form for example would Mason drop his mate to the bench? No way imo. We need a manager who is ruthless in his thinking. Mason as full time manager would be a disaster.
Agree 100%. What's Mason done as a coach to deserve a crack as permanent our manager.... He's a classy character and an ex player that came through the Academy, that's it.... He needs to go on coaching and managerial journey before he's ever considered as permanent appointment. But I wouldn't blame him for taking it if it's offered....but that in itself would tell me he's not on this for the long term if he does.

I kinda think if JN was dead we’d know, the way Chelsea did. There’s definitely something; it’s a job that’s less intimidating than the sort he was just bombed out of and we’ve enough elements to convince him. Any manager would love Kane and see the resources to expectation ratio and think they’re in business. Plus, it’s maybe not as poisoned a chalice as it looks: it’s not negatively impacted Conte’s reputation, for instance (despite my attempts) and Mourinho/Poch both got good jobs.

I think I’ve basically decided Arne is the way but hell, if Daniel can convince Nagelsmann that’s a coup. It’d be nice to have a manager on an upswing at some point but hey, beggars and choosers.

I'm actually glad it won't be Rangnick. I think he's a bit too old now. I like the idea of the young combination of Spor and Nagelsmann. We need a modern approach. Nothing wrong with taking some of the ideas that Rangnick had but need something new added. It's like having Poch rather than Bielsa.

Spor looks to have worked in a logical sequence also, video analyst, then scout, now sporting director, worked with good people and in a number of different leagues, certainly an interesting and joined up option to fit with Nagelsmann.
