Now he is available with no compensation i think a few prem clubs might go for him next year He really isnt. 41 wins in 142 Premier League games is pretty poor. An overrated manager Dean Smith for example 34 wins in 122 Premier League games and about 25 of them was managing Norwich plus building a new 11 in 2019/20 and he won't be getting linked to midtable jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell alot of people wanted him here at one time. One bad job doesnt make you a mediocre manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is he will want to get back on the saddle, hes Midlands lad as well so could easily commute to Leicester.

Villatillidie95 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Looks to be a decent appointment, he will probably have a Kompany style effect on Leicester, get them playing decent football and back in the promotion mix for next season,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Smart appointment by Leicester imo, but only thing with these assistant coaches is their quality as an assistant doesn’t always translate to being the main man. Will be a good one to watch. If he does have the right leadership skills to do it, then he could get them absolutely flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 A few Man City youngsters there on loan next year I would imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I've just been on a Twitter thread with a lot of them thinking though could get Phillips on loan I thought some of their talk regarding Tielemans was a bit deluded but some of them and probably the club itself let the league and Cup win go to their heads and think they are so much bigger and better than they are. It's half the reason they've gone down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious why you think this is a decent appointment? I dont know much about him but he doesn't seem to have much experience. Did Well with City's development squad but that's a hard job not to do well with. He seems to have failed with Parma and had to quickly return to City. Not sure why they didn't get Dean or Parker as they know the league and have been successful in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I always find it strange that Maresca played at West Brom and somehow Juventus signed him from there Was also a Monchi signing back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Over a fortnight ago there was a Leicester fan who tweeted that Tielemans was joining us and had tweeted before that that Maresca was getting the managers job after the cup final…….perhaps he did know his beans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Could be a decent appointment. Maybe they looked at Burnley and thought that was the blueprint of how to get out of the championship. Not saying they are the same type of managers but with the influence of pep they see that style as the way forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
