It’s too much for one guy to be a coach and in charge of recruitment these days. Sure, he’s got to be working closely with the DOF, but the constant emails, Whatsapps from agents and alike, it’ll break someone. There’s a reason every club in the top half of the PL has a DOF or Head of Recruitment.
Yea I don't see how Monchi and his recruitment approach is harmonious in between a Postecoglou-Munn axis.Not convinced he's be a good option. He has a very scattergun approach with some really being successful and many bombing.
Monchi se lo piensa
Ha dado síntomas de agotamiento el director general deportivo del Sevilla en una temporada muy difícil en la que ha recibido muchas críticas y ha reconocido
The general sports director of Sevilla has shown signs of exhaustion in a very difficult season in which he has received much criticism and has publicly acknowledged his mistakes. Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo, Monchi , is the architect of Sevilla, champion up to seven times in the Europa League and who has won 11 titles and played in 21 finals since 2006.
The man from San Fernando, once the echoes of the celebration of the seventh Europa League have faded, has asked Sevilla's top management for a period of reflection to decide on his future, which, according to what 'Relevo' has published, is highly conditioned by certain frictions that have arisen in matters of a sporting nature that concern exclusively his field. The dismissal of Julen Lopetegui, the election of Jorge Sampaoli... also that of Mendilibar, have been matters in which an understanding between sports management and the presidency and vice presidency has not been easy.
Likewise, the sale of Koundé and Diego Carlos in the same market to balance the accounts was another thorny issue, among other things because the investment in their replacements was not as desired, as was later seen in the results. Monchi feels that he does not have full power in financial matters at the club and for this reason he plans to take a break or start another project that appeals to him.
In this sense, the first possible destinations are coming out in the Premier League. One of them, Tottenham, with whose management Monchi maintains excellent relations, as has been demonstrated in round-trip operations in recent years: Reguilón, Bryan Gil, Lamela or the return of Bryan Gil himself.
His current situation bears some similarity to his departure in 2017 for Rome, also the result of a series of situations such as mental exhaustion, lack of maneuverability in economic matters and some friction with the president, José Castro, who two years later would be the will rescue him after finishing his journey in Italy, not without offering him a million-dollar contract that, seen as seen, is not the only thing that moves one of the best recognized sports directors in the world
We've flip flopped on managers and football directors so much I can't see the issue of just letting the manager crack on. We've had almost as many dof's as managers lately
My point is dofs and managers leave just as frequent as each other so there is no consistency in either area. Just crack on with the manager.
Tbf, this has been the case with a DoF.
Maybe that will be Munn's responsibility, with Postecoglou just deciding who he wants to bring in with the assistance of player recommendations from the scouts.
Munn has zero recruitment experience, a limited knowledge of football, he’s a business guy, a manger of teams of people. We need a recruitment specialist in or risk falling further behind.
