Summary
Well, not exactly a quiet start to the year. After Enzo Maresca left Chelsea last week, Ruben Amorim was then sacked by Manchester United on Monday.
After a quick round-up of some AFCON results (03:11), Musa and Ryan chat about Amorim’s departure (06:34), what it means for him, for Manchester United and where manager and club might go next. During that conversation, there’s also a detour onto Maresca (19:103), before rounding up the the rest of the Premier League (35:22), La Liga, Serie A, Wilfried Nancy’s sacking at Celtic and much more.
