[Football] Wilfried Nancy

[Baldseagull]

With near constant links with De Zerbi to other clubs, the succession plans have been in my thoughts, this guy has come to my awareness through taking a greater interest in tactics recently.
De Zerbi style coach in MLS, but not just tactically, seems to have the same love and respect for and from his players. His name might be some way down, but must be on PB's watch list?

If he were to be the next coach at Brighton, would also allow us to revive the 1-0 to the Nancy boys chant.

Nowhere near ready to say goodbye to RDZ yet and neither is he but, yes, we’ll have a succession plan with this sort of coach on it

Gives me the tenuous reason to go a bit@Harry Wilson's Tackle and post this 90's classic.

With a name that sounds like a cross between Zaha and, er, Zaha, it's a no from me.

Wilfried Nancy’s gonzo Columbus Crew are deserving MLS champions

Only five years after the founder members nearly skipped town, the French manager’s opportunistic, effervescent Crew SC are the MLS Cup winners for a second time in four seasons

Nancy quickly made Columbus the most gonzo outfit in MLS: fierce pressers, committed attackers, top scorers and the most possession in the regular season, but liable to squander winning positions, as if locking down represented a betrayal of ideological purity, a failure of nerve.

I’m in, if only for the ‘Nancy Boys’ chant potential
