apparently the FAI turned him down last week
Yeah, I don't know what happened there. It looked like he was done at the top level after that failure, but perhaps it helped him reinvent himself a bit. FC Hollywood is never easy to manage; they hardly respect anyone.
Any manager who can turn the very average Calvert-Lewin into England's back-up striker (however temporarily) must know what he's doing.
Everton was a blot on his career. Man U were stupid not to get him.
Ya I thought the player comments were damning and would see him out in the cold.
The toughest draw either team could've got
The young Ukrainian striker just scored vs Barca! We have a pretty decent crop of talents playing abroad - Zinchenko, Mykolenko, Dovbyk and Tsygankov at Girona, Zabarnyi from Bournemouth, goalkeeper Trubin at Benfica, Lunin at Real Madrid, Yaremchuk at Valencia, Mudryk obviously… Best Ukrainian players used to stay at Dynamo and Shakhtar in their prime years, but now for obvious reasons a lot of them are playing abroad.
Could be a good thing for the national team to be exposed to new tactical ideas and styles of play - certainly someone like Zinchenko would not be the same player had he stayed.

Zabarnyi was really impressive against Utd
Yeah, he’s pretty good on his day. Mykolenko also just won MOTM against Chelsea.
One of the most disappointing signing since Aqua Man. I began to despise him towards the end.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has signed a new deal with the club which will run until June 2026.
The Italian, 64, was appointed at the Bernabeu for a second time in 2021 on an initial three-year deal.
Xabi might have to choose between us and Real in 2026

Real wins. There's every chance Klopp signs a two year extension. His wife likes it in Liverpool. As head of the Liverpool charity, she has got a well paying job which she gets a huge amount of satisfaction from.
He gets £15m a year plus bonuses which probably takes it to £25-30m. Rent free accommodation, a fanbase that adores him.
The Germany job has lots of challenges, and he knows they'll be less patient.

Bonuses go that high? Wow.
I mean where does he go next? Spain and Italy won't work for him, as he is all about communication and inspiration. He doesn't have the language to manage that. Germany job will be it really. Unless he fancies the Dutch league. Or the MLS? or the Bayern job,
So yes, an extension to 2027 would be amazing.
As for Alonso, he may feel the Real job is too soon? Or maybe not. Nice to have that connection and possibility post Jurgen though.

When asked about his salary, his reply was "wow". I am only guessing, if you break down the basic of our players it equates to less than half of what goes out on salaries that's published on yearly accounts.
