Tuchel 

Silva

Dyche/Wagner

Anyone else

Coleman

 

is how I rank the possibilities. If Tuchel is one. 

I would add SheppyFox and Garth Crooks to that least.

Completely agree southampton seem to go foreign every season and they do well. I remember when silva was appointed at hull last season and merse critised it yet a few weeks later he was praising him. Just because they havent heard of someone does not mean there a bad manager.

You know nothing then!

Everything from the outside at Watford last season looked awful. No connection with players, fans, even his backroom staff at times.. not to mention he can't speak English. We might aswell go after Felix Magath if we want Mazzarri

Maybe not the best example to use since neither would be options but the examples of Tuchel and Simeone interest me.

 

In Simeones case you cant deny that hes done an exceptional job shaking the Barca/Real duopoly but does the 'he'd fit right into any club in the world' talk hold up?

 

He has an advantage at Madrid in that he is speaking his first language. Squad has players from countries who have no barrier with the language either so the onus is on a player new to Spanish culture to get up to speed. Say he goes to Liverpool next season and the onus is on him to get the message across this time but results dont go his way and hes seen as overrated. 

 

In his home country Klopp was able to relay his message to the players and not hesitate with a second language in interviews or team meetings. It might be the same for Tuchel. If someone unsure of getting through to the players due to difficulties speaking the same language that hesitancy could be precious game time lost.

Might have been a factor too in Pep not setting the world alight at Man City last year.

 

Not every home nation manager is a genius either but the years spent with Pearson in charge of us our rise as a club might never have happened with a non English speaker in charge. The impact Pulis had on Stoke, Dyche at Burnley or Sir Alex at Man Utd was surely helped greatly by the fact that they were all home grown.
