If we have some deal with Simeone next year the best thing would be a short term solution in Leo as no one else would be available for a one year contract except him and Hiddink maybe if he is available. It would be disrespectful to offer a year deal to anyone else.
with Leo you get to beat small teams but embarrassed by the big ones badly.
I can't believe nobody here is even remotely considering Laurent Blanc, a former Inter player if I may add?????? Whats wrong with him? He did absolutely tremendous at both his club appointments. Bordeaux raised with him at the helm and played some tip top football and went down as soon as he left. He also did great with France considering in what circumstances he had to work. And at PSG he pretty much did as expected if not more IMO. PSG did not play any better nor achieved more under Ancelotti so I dont get it how come is Blanc not even worth mentioning.
Please dont tell me everybody is all of the sudden judging him solely based on the second leg vs City last year witch was a disaster but pretty much the only proper fuck up on his side during his time.
If Mancini gets the boot/leaves and the ownership is serious hes as good as option as Simeone to create a proper team for me personally. The only downside to Blanc is he will command a big wage.
Similar to de Boer. Not very good in Europe. He was in charge of one of the best teams in the world for 3 years and still could never get past the Quarterfinals.

Guardiola with a much better squad than Blanc, nuff said.
Enough said? Guardiola made it further all 3 years. Thanks for enhancing my point.
PSG was on the same level as Bayern or just a touch below. I wouldn't say Bayern was much better. Let's just ignore what Guardiola did before those seasons, right?
Bring back strama, blanc, or even Koeman i dont really care as long as not this silver long hair coach . Go train MLS team u mancio. Adios
I don't see why Blanc 'only' making it to the quarter finals 3 years in a row is such an issue... especially considering that our current team can't even make it to the champions league over someone like Roma. It's not as if we can get a world-class coach at this point anyway.

There is no denying the facts on the stat page but lets look a little closer who he faced during those quarters and is the epitome of favorite really there in those games as you make it sound?
13-14 he got Mourinhos Chelsea, the game could have went in any direction. Hardly a fail in my book.
14-15 he got that steamrolling Barca that pretty much did the same to both Guardiolas Bayern and later Juventus. Again hardly a fail in my book.
And last years City clash where PSG missed to go with a 3-4 goals cushion from the first leg considering how many clear cut chances they missed in the first game and played the return leg without there whole midfield.
I dont know about you but other then the City game there were certainly not favorites. The second leg was poor by PSG but again they missed a lot of players. Hardly a massive fail in my book in fact I'm of the opinion he did very good during his time at the helm.
He had a 3-1 first leg advantage over Chelsea and still did not advance. That is a fail in my books. That along with the Man City exit = 2 fails out of 3 years. Sounds like a Mancini percentage to me haha.
