Apparently the shortlist has been reduced to 4.

One is not named yet but we'll liked from his interviews. The other 3 are said to be:

Nagelsmann 

Pochettino 

Kompany

 

Luis Enrique not in the running anymore.

Zeta the unnamed candidate?

It's Nagelsmann with Pochettino being carefully looked at. Everything else is fluff. 

They want Nagelsmann. It's clear as day from the beginning. Pochettino interview probably made their Nagelsmann decision go from 100% to 95%.

I do think Pochettino could get us top 4 though, which is desperately needed for next season, missing out 2 years in a row will hurt us massively. 

For all their money and famous names, PSG is a dysfunctional operation. Eight players with three superstars bolted on up front, neither of which does a scrap of defensive work, one of whom now basically runs the club. They're unmanageable in the traditional sense.

Pochettino had Spurs punching way above their weight, he's excellent with young players, and he knows the PL. He will do me.

Pochettino just isn’t my style at all. However I do respect they’ve gone through a process this time. And not rushing it gives people time to  hear other views etc. Pochettino was in the running for Man U as well.

Kompany? I've not seen him linked anywhere. Where are you getting that?

There's an NDA involved, so the candidate couldn't possibly reveal themself.

 

Nagelsmann withdrawn and no longer interested, speculating here but do you think all these interviews and the leaking to the press about potential options make a manager feel less wanted?

Well f**k me. 😂

This is going well

At this point the choice is obvious:

Matt Law's report suggests we want Pochettino as he said Nagelsmann doesn't consider himself to be in contentions for the job. 

I was starting to think the rumoured two rounds of talks, in quick succession between Pochettino and the club meant he was perhaps the favourite, this would likely confirm it.

Well I guess we have to just get behind whoever it is for a while. But I'm really feeling no excitement or enthusiasm for next season either at the moment.

At this rate we'll be lucky to end up with Ted Lasso.

Romano just reported things weren't agreed upon between the club and Nagelsmann. What a turn of events. 

Pochettino now the likely favorite. 

I don't feel the sort of animosity towards Pochetino as I did to Benitez, but it just doesn't seem right. He's been irrelevant since about 2017.

I like the Bundesliga but Premier League is a different animal.

Especially when you're coaching the 1 team in a 1 team league.

Pochettino with PSG (and Messi Neymar and Mbappe) is also on that list, though it arguable that he never really had the dressing room at PSG

The bloke that had PSG in 3rd when Pochettino took over didn't do too badly when he turned up at Stamford Bridge 🙂 

Sky Sports saying Vincent Kompany is on a four person shortlist. I actually think he's an underrated option to be fair, footage from his team talks shows he's the type of manager that won't take any bs from the players. 

 

Our squad could definitely use something like this

I would have been against Pochettino completely when Lamps 1.0 was sacked but I think on this occasion he's a good fit.

He has a proven track record of developing raw young players and will instantly sort our fitness problems out in pre season.

Not convinced he's the solution to bring the title back home but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

That is very true to be fair, no idea how given PSG's quality

Two weeks ago it seemed clear that it would be Enrique or Nagelsmann.

Now its Pochettino or Kompany. Hard to be optimistic.

Maybe we bring Pochetino in for 2 years to build a base like he did at Spurs, then sack him and bring someone else in to actually win with them 🤣
