Solskjaer and Emery Out
The string of poor results continued for
Manchester United and Arsenal but their respective managers are still employed.
We discuss the Telkom Knockout, Unai Emery, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and the Ultimate Kickoff. Listen to the podcast and read more in the blog below.
Manchester United let slip a 3-2 lead to draw 3-3 against Sheffield United, while Arsenal needed a last-gasp equaliser to salvage a 2-2 draw against relegation-threatened Southampton.
These two coaches are great tacticians, but these football clubs might be too big for them.
Emery might have won three Europa League titles with Sevilla and a league title with PSG, but let's be honest, the realisation has dawned that he joined Arsenal too soon in his career. He needs to go and gain experience somewhere else and hopefully, he can bounce back stronger.
That's exactly the same story with Solskjaer, whose success in the Norwegian league is well documented but the mighty Manchester United is a totally different beast!
We love them but they need to make way for bigger coaches at this point in time.
