Who will inherit Wenger?
Here are our free soccer bets.
Arsenal's announcement that after 22 years is split with his legendary manager Arsene Wenger, he shook the soccer world, although the news was not unexpected. After days of praise and honors for the Frenchman, it was time to make the big decision: who would replace the club's most successful leader in his history. Whether a former team player, whether a young and fresh specialist, has an established charismatic mentor? The search continues and we offer you a detailed guideline in the complex situation.
WHAT WILL SEARCH ARSENAL AND HOW TO PROCESS?
Executive Director Ivan Gazidis outlined several features of the profile: the selected candidate must, in the style of his predecessor, rely on offensive and progressive football; to hold on to the values of the club; to give chances to play young talents.
Another priority is finding a strong character that can cure the wounds of divorce among fans who have been ridiculed by the rest of Britain's supporters in recent years because of hysterical quarrels among themselves. Apathy overcame anger this season and thousands of season ticket holders left their stadiums empty.
It is intriguing how management will operate once a manager has not been appointed since 1996. The new directors, Raul Sanlayi and Sven Mysllin, saw a lot of coaching changes, respectively, in Barcelona and Borussia (Dortmund), but the situation is new to Gazzidis.
Arsenal wont make unexpected elections for the post: Wenger came from Japanese Nagoya Grampus Eight, George Graham from the second half of Millwall, and the team up to double in 1971. Bertie Mei was a physiotherapist. Majority club owner Stan Kroecke saw his oversea project LA Rams revive the appointment of NFL's youngest coach, Sean McVay, after he had been banned with long-time Jeff Fisher. That is why a bold appointment would not be a surprise.
Everyone who has the right to vote, Gazzidis, Sanlayi and Mislinat, has his own favorite candidate, which can cause tension, but at the end, Kryonke and his son Josh will be presented with recommendations from Gazzidis. It is said that the last two have entered into a union with each other, and this can tilt the scales.
WHAT DO THE BUKMEYERS READ?
The news that Thomas Touchel is likely to take over Pari Saint-Germain has quickly pulled Massimiliano Allegri and Jelko Vacuv as the first and fourth most likely new artillery manager (Luis Enrique and Carlo Ancelotti are second and third respectively), though a clear favorite.
CANDIDATES
MASIMILIANO ALEGRI (40% chance of appointment)
For: Proven at the highest level of European football, he led Juventus to successive Serie A titles and to the final of the Champions League. As Wenger, Massimiliano Allegri is a respected figure in football and would be a class public face for the club. There is already experience of inheriting a worshiped senior coach (Antonio Conte) and he has won the unsatisfied by his appointment typhoons of "and bianconiers". It would bring a more pragmatic approach to the game.
Against: Liverpool and Tottenham have overtaken Arsenal in the last two seasons with mentors with clear game identity and philosophy. Alegri is not like that. His tactical flexibility is of great quality, but some seem to be the most beneficial for rebuilding already established elite teams. Arsenal is currently a project in its early stages.
LUIS ENRIQUE (15.4%)
For: There is a clear idea how he wishes to play the game and win a treble in Barca. There is already a working relationship with Sanlayi and, unlike other candidates on the list, has experience of working in a top European club.
Against: The disastrous stay in Rome is a black spot in Luis Enrique's CV, and it has been reported recently that he has huge financial claims both in terms of his contract and his transfer budget. He has a startling character and has often been overtaken by the press in Barcelona. Wenger may have missed the occasional scandal, but he charmed his press conferences. And while it is ridiculous to say that training Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neimar is a fascia work, it also makes it difficult to appreciate his stay in the Catalan Grand Prix.
CARLO ANCHELOTI (13.3%)
For: In his secure hands, Arsenal, according to some, will move more easily through the difficult transition. In a nutshell, Carlo Ancelotti would avoid a repeat of the Mose case in Manchester United. The Italian has already worked in England and London before, bringing Chelsea to double in 2010. Friendly and open, he would easily win the fans.
Against: It is very similar to Wenger as a methodology - players are left alone to find gaming solutions from which they suffer. Ancelotti is a manager rather than a coach, and his more lenient approach can continue the inertia of recent years with the Frenchman.
JELJKO BOVACH (9.1%)
For: Known as the Brain, he is a highly valued coach with a brief knowledge of Arsenal and Premier League after working as a right hand to Juergen Klop in Liverpool. Zeljko Bujic would not insist on a huge transfer budget, with his priorities being to bring the training methodology to the most advanced levels and to remove the best of the talented, albeit unbalanced, lineup. It would bring fresh ideas and the organization needed for the game.
Against: He was not a senior coach since 2001, he did not speak English and never liked to be in the spotlight. It seems a bit weird that this 57-year-old specialist has been so shadowy for so long if he really had the ambition to be at the head of a team. A large part of the fenbase would have met him skeptically.
MIKEL ARTET (9.1%)
For: The fans' emotional attachment to Wenger could be maintained at similar levels with the appointment of a former team player, and he received suggestions from Josep Guardiola, Mauricio Pocetino and Arsenal in the second after his quit as a professional footballer. This speaks of how much he is valued in the circles, and he has probably learned a lot of things under the guidance of Guardiola in Manchester City for his two years. Mikel Arteta is a man of the club's kitchen that fits perfectly with the new management structure and hierarchy.
Against: No experience as a manager. He also played with many of the players in the squad, which may affect his ability to take the obviously needed now merciless and difficult choices. It is also possible for fans not to be very patient with a newbie in the craft.
OTHERS CANDIDATES
Brendan Rogers (5.9%) and Leonard Jardim (4.3%) are on the list of bookmakers, with Eddie Hugh, Julian Nagelsman, Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry and Joachim Löw in the queue by 3.8%.
Rodgers bets on offensive football, but Arsenal is in need of tightening defense. Jardim showed excellent work in Monaco, and yet perhaps the Emirates may need a more authoritative figure from him. Nagelsman would have been Sean McVay's appointment, given his age and success in Hoffenheim, but perhaps two or three years before he was ready for the gunmen. Leuve is a proven name, world champion and is able to get the best from Mesut Iosil, but has not led a club team from Austria Vienna in 1994, and the work in international football is quite different. Howe is a promising young manager, and yet his appointment would leave fans a sense of risk of repeating the crash of Mose in United. Vieira is a club legend that would soon earn the respect of players and fans, and now has a job as a senior coach. She was, however, in MLS in New York City, so there is no certainty about his real skills. His former teammate, Henry, has worked as assistant to Belgian coach Roberto Martinez and as an analyst at Sky Sports, so he would also be a very risky appointment, no matter how much he adored the club.
Hope our free soccer bets are useful for you.
