The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

[Sanguine]

In more home nations manager scenes - the new Republic of Ireland manager is the excellently named Heimir Hallgrimsson, former coach of Iceland, and more recently Jamaica. Hallgrimsson is known for having continued his role as a local dentist even after taking the job with the Iceland national team.

Would have thought he'd be a bit too long in the tooth to be a football manager.

Do we need to brace ourselves for more dentistry puns?

[Dirk Gently]

Yes, for as long as he wears the crown.

USA have sacked their manager.

With only 2 years left till the World Cup in their own country having now failed in the Copa America this is a tough gig for whoever takes it as expectations will inevitably be high.

[NathStPaul]

Surprised you haven't suggested Klopp takes the job.

Doesn't help that the media over here hype Christian Pulisic as one of the best players in the world, and I'm not exaggerating.

Mexico have one of the worst squads in decades, so somehow Canada will likely be the strongest team of the three host nations.

Surprised you haven't suggested Klopp takes the job.

It was discussed on the radio just now but obviously he wouldn't want to manage players of such limited ability.
Now if you were talking about the England job............................................

Steve McClaren appointed the new manager of Jamaica. Can't wait to hear his new accent.

Will he swap his brolly for a parasol though?

Klopp says he is retired from football management for good.

I can see him taking up a back office position of some kind. You see a lot of ex players/managers being given relative figurehead positions over here that have very few actual responsibilites.

So I can see him taking up such a position at Dortmund or possibly more likely Mainz, as he is building a new house in Wiesbaden which is just over the river from there.

He should get Big Winst in as a consultant for his build.

I am amazed no-one mentioned that Raith Rovers sacked their manager - after 1 game of the season - and 2 months after leading them to play off success.

"Results and performances since the turn of the year have fallen short of expectations". So why are they sacking him now? Surely if it's been an issue since the start of the year, he would've been sacked before the season started.

It's not just one game, there's the four games Raith played in the Scottish League Cup in July which they failed to progress from (despite winning 2 plus a 3rd on penalties). More than justified then

And they game they lost is the League Cup was against a side in the division above them.
