Give the moon to this man 👇. But regardless of who the next manager will be, it cannot be anyone with well-documented rigidity in his approach with either the player personnel, the tactics, or both. Flexibility is imperative.

Zidane for me, is a terrible shout. He resigned from Real second time around due to not having support from the board and media pressure. First time around, incredible achievements but inherited CR, Bale, Benzema, Kroos, Modric, Ramos, Marcelo etc. He'll be inheriting Dalot, Onana, Ugarte, etc
I could have won la Liga with the team he took over.
I think he was great at stroking and managing the egos, it was an impressive period but that team was outrageously good with probably the best version of Ronaldo. It would have been difficult not to win.
He won a league title without Ronaldo and came within one match of a Champions League final (they lost a single-knockout semifinal). But just as I mentioned in my second paragraph, the next manager cannot and must not be lacking flexibility. That's important because the lack of flexibility...
...is what sank Erik ten Hag and could sink Ruben Amorim as well. The best managers in the Premier League have been known for showing flexibility because there are dozens of parameters to count in order to achieve success. You can be a one-trick pony of a coach elsewhere, but not in England.
I also forgot to mention that we changed the footballing department to make sure that the manager is no longer an old school manager, but a head coach instead. So the real key here is to have a head coach who can make the team work, especially after Wilcox bought those upgrades to 📈 our goal output.
Not to mention the transfer record, everyone he signed during both stints were flops bar Rodrygo. Notable flops, Hazard, Morata, Jovic. Let players like Hakimi, Llorente, Odegaard leave. I think there's a very good reason he's not managing and has managed anywhere else.
