Still a legend for me, he is a clueless coach but I just cannot hate the man.

Get ready to see him in our bench next season too, so Agnelli will continue having the scapegoat for his incompetence
I'm fine with him staying if we have an actual plan to build a project

The current set-up of having Cristiano fricken Ronaldo yet a coach with 0 experience and the likes of Weston McKennie all on the same pitch is senseless

I didnt see much of Italian style of play under Pirlo... this Italian thing that perpetuates here, cattenaccio, is nonsense. Apart from bottom table clubs, no one plays that way.
Maybe in Italy, but in Europe it seems like we don't really start playing until we are literally facing being knocked out, which hasn't only been the case with the recent Italian managers, but for as long as I can remember dating back to Lippi.

It's not always about formation, but rather mentality.

Sad thing is we all know he will still be here next season.

He isn't going to fix it, he doesn't know how and he will stick with his useless hybrid defence, play left footed players on the right, right footers on the left and have no concept of how to set up a side.

Was obvious for months we were going to have an early exit in Europe and not win Serie A, smart sides make quick decisions and solve their problems when they go down the wrong path look at Bayern last year. Hopefully now we can focus to get top 4 at least.

To be honest, I don't know what the style is. It's definitely not Italian. A standard Italian coach would have crushed Porto.

Our backline is organized like Sunday league so that's probably the antithesis of Italian.

Agnelli does not sack in the middle of the season, plus since there is little chance to win serie a, there is really no reason, the damage has been done so might as well finish with Pirlo

The strange thing on this forum that there are some people who don't rate Zidane. They still think (3) CL trophies won by RM players. This year Real play badly but they still advance to the next CL round and still 2nd at La Liga even they're in a transition season. That's some good work from Zidane.
Zidane eats baby Pirlos for breakfast. They're not even in the same stratosphere coaching wise.

Zidane was a GOAT level footballer, and he's proving to be a very decent coach.
