If our owners have any sense they will fire Montella and sign the new-available Carlo Ancelotti.

/the end.

My only point in favour of Carlo is that he could probably fix our midfield that we haven't managed to make work for nearly 5 years now.

Other than that, I wonder if he's a bit behind the times tactically now. The game has moved on a lot now. This high pressing, aggressive tactics are what seems to be in at the moment.

Won the Bundesliga by 15 points and was denied by a borderline cheating Real in the UCL.

Yeah, he's definitely past it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I think coaches have a sell-by-date just as much as players.

Carlo is a great coach, one of the best, but he isn't a modern coach either. With Bayern he didn't have much competition for the league plus he has a top class side at his disposal.

I might seem like I'm contradicting myself because I'm praising him in one post and doubting him in the next but that's just a reflection of how I feel about him coming back. On the one hand I regard him as a top coach, because he's achieved great things all around Europe, we have that nostalgia factor going on as well because he was the last really successful coach we had and he's also a great man manager which is something we need. But on the other hand I don't see him as the right man for job with the group we have now

But in fact, only a few coaches play "moder" or "up-to-date" football. Take Guardiola (who IMO destroys football teams with his tactics), Enrique, Zidane, Klopp, Conte and Simeone. Who you got left? Allegri? Is he really that modern? Or Spaletti? Bosz? Mourinho? I don't think so.

The one thing we would get with Ancelotti is a seasoned coach with experience, intelligence and a brand of football his teams play. We haven't had such a coach in a long time - from the moment Ancelotti departed.

I really think we gotta build around an experienced coach who has actually won something in his life. All the other options right now are much much worse then Ancelotti, so there's really no debate to it IMO.
