Summary
Michael Bailey, JJ Bull and Jon Mackenzie are here to talk about some football.
The chaps gives us a precis on who Julian Nagelsmann is, what kind of football he likes to coach and why that was deemed not good enough by Bayern Munich who have sacked him.
Thomas Tuchel has been hired in his place, but is this just a question of the “elite” managerial carousel turning again?
After torching the relationship with his players just over a week ago, Antonio Conte is no longer Tottenham boss.
We talk about where this leaves Spurs in the long term and what they can actually hope for in this most competitive of leagues.
Then, the pod gets speculative…
What if the new project at Chelsea doesn’t succeed?
What if Jurgen Klopp leaves Liverpool this summer?
WHAT if Carlo Ancelotti becomes Brazil manager?
WHAT IF Gavi actually does leave Barcelona on a free transfer?
All of these were answered to varying levels of satisfaction…
This episode of the Tifo football podcast is presented by Michael Bailey and produced by Steve Hankey.
