Was a coach at Barca under Cruyff, then went to Maccabi Tel Aviv, immediately took them to their first league title in a decade then left for personal reasons

Bruno Alemany appears to be the director of a Spanish football show/website (so may have some sources rather than completely unfounded speculation)

Yes please. Would love a leftfield foreign appointment like this to continue the carnival of flair.

From 6th to 1st in his first season. And a 10 point margin.
Flair. Results.

Hmmm. A gamble indeed. Has less than a year's experience in the Israeli league. Is that a high standard?

I am all for foreign flair but I would like some experience of playing and coaching in this country

He had a good record in Israel. He's been linked to a lot of English clubs in the last few months including Villa, QPR and Reading.

 

[shaolinpunk]

It's more management experience than Poyet had when he came here, and he was coaching at Barca under Cruyff rather than Swindon under Dennis Wise...

I don't see it as that much more of a gamble, other than language (not sure if he speaks English)

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

no thanx sorry

Would you like anyone to be our manager?

 

[El Sid]

How do you pronounce Junyent?

 

[Oscar]

Never heard of him but I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is the kind of fella Tony goes for.

 

[Mellotron]

How do you pronounce Junyent?

I'm going for Hun-yent.

 

[ees complicated no?]

no thanx sorry

Didn't you want curbs?

Would you like anyone to be our manager?

That seems quite promising. But "left for personal reasons" is always a worrying thing to hear. Could be anything from an illness in the family to fingers caught in the till.
