Only just found out he's at Lens this season after leaving Reims.

Looks like Lens will be finishing between 7th & 10th.
They finished 7th last season so no progression for him/them.

Anybody know if he's still the next "big thing"?

Has he sorted out his coaching badges now?
He’s apparently in the frame for the Norwich job
 
Very interesting approach, feels like a more techy take on those massive dossiers Bielsa used to prepare for every game at Leeds. I do wonder if you need a certain type of player to get fully on board with it.
 
Not done a terrible job at all this season considering they lost their 2 best players.

Pretty cool video that, enjoyed it. I'd love to compare it against the type of pre-match analysis we do.

CWAK: "We're gonna go with 4-2-3-1 again because everybody else plays it"

Players: "Get it out wide to the wingers then?"

CWAK: "we're only playing 1 winger, that's Ben. But i'm gonna put him on the wrong side so that we can play our best box-to-box midfielder on the left wing"

Players: "I take it Calum will be pulling the strings behind the striker?"

CWAK: "nah, we'll put Rhian there"

So young ! So cynical! 😪
 
Any club taking him on would need to have enough patience to let his methods embed. That includes the fans too
We're probably in a far better position to do something like this than we've ever been. Compare it to when Slav came in and there just wasn't the players to play how we wanted, nor the resource available to get them in either. I'd like to think, provided we could weather the Champ financially for a year or two more, someone could come in an implement a style of play for the long-term. We've probably also got the best squad in terms of adapatable footballers we've had for many a year.

Suggested him a while ago, think he'd be a very good option to look at in the close season.. If we're serious about taking a more data driven, modern approach.
 
I wouldn’t mind seeing Pep Lijnders being given a go. He could be our Enzo Maresca (ideally without the bit where he left to go to a bigger club).
 
I’ll know we’ve got it reyt when we’ve got a manager who’s name I can’t pronounce, who sounds like a character from ‘ello ‘ello and doesn’t mind buying Jonny foreigners
