With all due respect to Luiz, if we’re making managerial choices based on who Roman’s favourite likes, then that’s not a good sign...
I see nothing to suggest that Blanc could do any better a job than what Conte has, and that’s got to be what the board’s focus is on. More than ever nowadays, with football changing constantly, managing is as much about momentum and striking while the iron’s hot than looking at past achievements, and Blanc’s finest achievements came a decade ago. He’s mainly underwhelmed in the years since.
