Summary
NOTE: Near the end of the pod, we discuss Wilfried Nancy. This was prior to the announcement that he had been fired. But as you'll hear from our comments, we are certainly not surprised by this outcome.
Ruben Amorim is OUT as head coach of Manchester United... WOW. We share our thoughts on why United came to this decision, how much Amorim was to blame for his own downfall and where United may turn for their next head coach.
Then, we discuss another managerial move as Chelsea part ways with Enzo Maresca... again, WOW. We'll break down the club's unconventional approach to the position and ask the question if we need to recalibrate our mindset when it comes to Chelsea appointments.
We'll also weigh in on some of the marquee matches from over the weekend, Riqui Puig's devastating injury setback, Wilfried Nancy's status at Celtic and much much more!
