I remember him as a player but have no idea of his managerial competency.  No idea what his past results have been like, no idea what style he plays or if he would be suitable for us.  Having said that, it is a massive yes from me because LOOK AT HIS FVCKING HAIR!!  WOOF!!  Come home to Rumble you big, South American Adonis.

He uses counter pressing but isn't he more from the school of Bielsa style of management, like Pochettino? 

 

Wouldnt be be convinced with him coming in but at least the club are exploring all options

Gegen pressing is an attacking style of play, very similar to that of Tottenham. The whole tactic is based on high pressure pressing when not in possession in order to win the ball back as high up the pitch as possible. When utilised competently it is a devastatingly effective tactic. I think he is actually my number one preference based on what I've read on him today.

I know what gegen pressing is its counter pressing in English that's why I said counter pressing but I'm sure I read he said he's from the Bielsa style of management (which utilises counter pressing) 

Sorry, I starting replying to your query about Pochettino similarities and got carried away. I read an article on here somewhere the other day about him that basically said himself, Pochettino and another Argentine fella (Gallardo?) were  the next big trio in terms of South American managers cutting the mustard in top level Europe.

Seriously........no.

 

I'd never heard of the guy until I saw this thread, if we're going to give the job to someone with no experience of managing in Europe we may as well let Appleton have it.

 

He's exactly what we don't need right now.

Ich bin nicht gegen gegen pressen.  This would be either a master stroke or a huge car crash.  To much at risk to consider him seriously.

Every great manager makes his name somewhere. We could be Almeyda's somewhere, there's just something about him that makes me think he will take us places. Gegen pressing is also great to watch and our players like to press, it'll be like early 15/16 all over again.

Despite Mexico being a big country with over 120m inhabitants, sometimes it’s forgotten how much of a huge football culture there is.

 

Yesterday, The Mirror claimed that Leicester City would be interested in Chivas manager Matías Almeyda. And the coverage it got in the North American country was pretty impressive, maybe even bigger than when this kind of thing happens in Brazil.

 

With all the local media covering it, the most complete story came from sports newspaper Record, who added some recent information to show that Almeyda should indeed be keen on the job.

 

They claim that other clubs such as Las Palmas and San Lorenzo have both tried to sign Almeyda with no success. However, there’s a reason why Leicester City could find a different outcome.

 

A couple of weeks ago, Record were writing a story about the manager’s possible departure from Chivas, and a source close to him said: “After being multi-champion with Chivas, his next jump is Europe or the Mexico selection, obviously if it occurs at any time. I do not see him coming to Argentina.”

 

The manager had also spoken about the matter at the time, and Record recalls his quotes, where he said: “Every time I get questioned in Mexico, proposals automatically come to me. I listen to them, analyse them and tell Jorge Vergara. You see that I’m also wanted in other places.”

 

It’s hard to see a South American turning a job in the Premier League down, and Almeyda has some interesting experience winning titles far from his own country of Argentina. So if Leicester City are really going for him, it’s a deal that could happen.

I'd go for him. You never know unless you try.

 

We'll never get Ancelotti or Pellegrini so it's great that other options are explored.

Has anyone seen his middle name? He could be the Messiah..... We already have God and an Emperor
