>Pep to Italy's NTAnglo bros.. not like this
kino
>>157049054You guys will suck you have no good players and the Italian league is terrible
>>157049064lmao canada gon't get a big head; in Europe, you'd lose to Luxembourg.
>>157049054>mouth covered
>>157049054He'll be terrible. Overcomplicates things and needs the right players. Not pragmatic enough for international level
>>157049054>Catenaccio+TikitakaHow tf will it work?
>>157049348We haven't used catenaccio for decades, sadly.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_European_Under-17_Championship>1st-3rd-1stHe could be cooking something. I don't think he would be interested in current italy's team no offense.
>>157049273No we wouldn't but that poster still a retard though
Anything but implement the Baggio reforms. Sad to see Italy disrespect its own heritage like this.
your top star is fucking David kek
Wrong he's always fucking shite with the NT, Kone is by far the most important player of this teamThat said I think Pep can work out something with the Italian midfield which is already very strong (at least on paper), you got ball playing cbs too, don't know where he'll find his precious 9 though let alone the shitty wingers
>>157049054If tuchel failed in group stage or ro32 we would have got pepseems like he wanted to stay on man city longer than swap to national team in 2024/25
I think the idea Italy is thinking of is that he'll supercharge change in player development and force clubs to to make players play his way instead of doing the same old same old.
>>157049054>anybody beliving Turboracist Officer of the White Supremacist Army would coach a team in which he'd be contractually forced to play more than 3 negrosItaly is the only possible NT in which he can get away with calling only a couple of monkeys without making it making too much of a fuss.
>>157049497>don't know where he'll find his precious 9 though let alone the shitty wingersI bet he will naturalize some sudaca wingers

Poop to shitaly
gwopiola
I'm a bit rusty on my Guardiola... can he fix Italy? does he only work with teams that have a superstar striker/midfielder or can he adapt and give Italy their catenaccio back??
>>157049054You might not struggle against israel anymore with him but you have way bigger issues with your football system than a bad NT coach.
>>157050388I don't know much about the current situation in Italian football, but I imagine after not having qualified for 3 WCs in a row, standards have fallen incredibly low. I think if Guardiola can get them to a WC and then out of their group, it's considered a successful job by the Italians. It seems like a relatively low pressure job and maybe that's what Guardiola is looking after. He looked like he had been living in permanent stress for the past 15 years he's been managing.As for the quality of the Italian team, I think it's an above average team. It's nowhere near that bad that they can't qualify for the WC. They should be disposing of smaller European teams with relative ease.One thing Guardiola is very good at is getting the most out of players. He can take a shit player and turn him into a decent player. I think that's what the Italian players need the most right now.
>>157049054It's all media bullshit, he explicitly said he doesn't want to coach in the near future.
>>157050388Actual catenaccio is possession ball but in your own half fieldNobody sane wants that back, it's about as retarded as the current "park the bus and hope the enemy makes a mistake to take them in contropiede"
>>157049395We would FUCK YOUR SHIT UP little mongo wongo
>>157049348Pass it endlessly in your own box
Pep seems like a clubtard who harasses the players
>>157049054Pep is probably the greatest manager of all time when it comes to league football, but his knockout record is horrendous considering how good his teams have been over the years. He's not going to get a lot of time on the training pitch to get his ideas across to the players, and the players he can pick from are going to be limited (compared to club football where he can buy whoever he wants). I don't see him being successful as a NT manager.
>the players he can pick from are going to be limitedlmao do you even know how many footballers with Italian blood there are in South America and various European countries?
>>157052057Unironically it's about time the italian diaspora brings some fruits aside from italoamerican memes.
I am afraid the real reason why they are looking for a foreign coach is because no italian one wants to tarnish his reputation by failing to qualify once again
>>157052083The good ones aren't joining a team that doesn't even qualify to tournaments, we just lost Volpato to Australia lol. Anyway I tink the plan s get Pep to refuse the job, pick Pirlo using Pep's refusal as shield, fail to qualify to the Euros thanks to Pirlo's outstnding charisma, then pick Conte or someone good in adapting to opposition for 2030 wc
>>157049054That's a red
>get a few mills for like 5 matches / year>chill in Italy in the meantimeI mean it's not his usual job but I can see why he'd take it. Like a half-vacation
>>157053172I'm pretty sure we lost Volpato simply because we didn't call him at all? Or at least it's the main reason like for Tresoldi which will probably continue in Germany's main team>Anyway I tink the plan s get Pep to refuse the job, pick Pirlo using Pep's refusal as shieldI think this too.
Is he... OH MY GOD, REEEEEEEEEEF
>>157049054>having previously agreed to manage England in 2024Starting when? July 22, 2026? I don't remember that agreement being talked about at all
>>157053258He wouldn't suit being an NT manager because he doesn't have the squad every day to drill his robotic style into.This is going to be a disaster.
>>157053468>This is going to be a disaster.he LITERALLY cannot do worse than Italy currently is doing.
I don't think Pep would want to build up an entire countries footballing infrastructure from the ground up, he's a bit too old for that and Italy needs an entire reboot
If Pep can reanimate Italy I will excuse his unleash of shitty kaca on the world
>>157049348This is how Spain won the World Cup.Tikinaccio.
>>157049054>why won't Mourinho coach Portugal?
>>157049064you don't need good players just tiki-taka and memorization
Big if trueTrvke if realBut how is he gonna deal without oil money signing the best players in the world for him
Italy have a good base to build off but they just don't have any elite forward players. There's nothing Pep can do to solve this issue
>>157049054Maldini needs to just do it himself
>>157049054Italy's entire system needs overhauling. That's the challenge, and having total discretion to rebuild the country from the ground up. And with positional fluidity + counter-pressing having displaced possession moneyball, the home of the Libero's the fitting choice to reinvent the tactical wheel.
>>157049348>BeckenbauerThe entire backline has to be 'inverted wingbacks', let the holding midfielder stay forward in buildup. Take uncontested space-- they have to drive forward and keep going to fuck up marking. 3-4x Phillip Lahms basically.
>>157056785AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>157049054>Foreign managerDisgusting.I'd rather have 20 more years of nothing
>>157053486Here's the catch:If Shitaly fails he'll be an absolute scapegoat, being blamed for "not understanding" Italian play style or some other inane excuse along those linesIt's just yet another attempt at deflecting accountability to hide the fact that outr entire system is beyond fucked and needs to be burned to the ground (without replacing it with puppets controlled by the same old heads from the shadows)
>>157049054>italy playing tiki taka>brazil playing counter attacking defensive footballthe end of the world is near
I can't even name a single Italian superstar player. That's how bad they are.
>>157049366>sadly
>>157059304True, and it will be super easy considering how all the dinosaurs on TV shows and shit are still asspained by Tiki Taka or how ">we went to shit because we copied spain forgetting about defense"
>>157056785AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>157049348Italian are the OG diversThey are tailor-made for Poop Fraudiola
>>157059890we dont need an elite coach, we need to reform the whole system starting from the kids who are 12 year old today
>>157052034>Pep is probably the greatest manager of all time when it comes to league footballLess CLs than Ancelotti despite having refs at BarcaNever did a threepeat like ZiGOATBarely managed to win CL with City despite spending a billion
>>157052449>Implying any current Italian manager have a reputation worth a shit besides Ancelotti
>>157049419says brit who hires a german coach from nazi germany
oh great, now Italy will be insufferable hate-inducing fucksfk u guardiolism!
>>157060159I remember in Euro 2021 when Italy destroyed Turkey and Switzerland 3-0 each in the first 2 matchesThen Mongcini benched Lcoatelli to start MUH SENATORINI Verratti and then Italy went to shit with a static midfield of Jorginho Verrati and every match became a retarded struggle
>>157049054this would be based in all honestyas much as i like to make fun of shitaly not qualifying you guys are essential
