raxummia Posted July 10 #2 Posted July 10 I watched a Real Sociedad match last season where their passing sequeences completely picked apart the opponent’s press, yet nobody outside Spain ever mentions Imanol Alguacil. His work with homegrown talent and keeping them competitive in Europe on a tight budget is low key remarkable.
shrednda Posted July 10 #3 Posted July 10 I always feel like Michel at Girona is flying under the radar, his system made them so fun to watch. Do you think a coach who excels at a smaller club but might not win trophies gets judged too harshly compared to someone at the big three?
StormKn1ght Posted July 10 #4 Posted July 10 michel at girona is a wizard fr, turned them into a proper beast last season no cap ?
gondolac4 Posted July 11 #5 Posted July 11 ngl i?d still give some love to imanol too bro, sociedad always look mad organized and clean on teh ball ? ?
sandrel Posted July 11 #6 Posted July 11 Marcelino gets overlooked constantly. His Bilbao side is just so functional, they don't really have a clear weakness. It's not flasy but his consistency across different clubs in the league is quietly impressive.
wickenry Posted July 11 #7 Posted July 11 I get the Michel hype but Girona's defense was leaky, that has to count for something.
frankiolry Posted July 11 #8 Posted July 11 honestly imanol is the definition of under the radar, his sociedad teams have been playing smart compact football for years and nobody seems to notice unless they beat barca or real. it feels like he gets docked points for not being a loud personality on the touchline.
rexrioria Posted July 11 #9 Posted July 11 I see the love for Michel and its deserved but Imanol does it year after year on a budget, his teams ball rotation under pressure is just anothr level fr
nylvar Posted July 11 #10 Posted July 11 yeah michel gets most of the noise but valverde deserves way more respect for what he did at athletic this season tbh. the man kept them in europe and won a trophy with limited depth, thats actually insane
buyvalo6 Posted July 11 #12 Posted July 11 I still wonder why nobody ever taks about Jagoba Arrasate, he kept Osasuna stable for ages with basically no resources.

strikemia Posted July 11 #16 Posted July 11 I think Valverde is quietly doing bits at Athletic, but do you think part of the silence is because everyone just expects them to be soolid every year?
FernandoAH Posted July 11 #19 Posted July 11 Tienes que ser específico, creo que Mourinho es buen técnico

wrenosmia2 Posted July 12 #21 Posted July 12 I actually think Valverde keeps getting overlooked because he doesn’t make big noise, his work with Bilbao’s youuth blending into the first team is super underrated.
Gauzeraax9 Posted July 12 #22 Posted July 12 nah i think valverde gets the exact right amount of credit, bilbao are doing fine but nobody expects them to challenge for top 4 anyway. michel at girona is the real underrated story, nobody had them fighting for europe let alone the title race
kim46322hs Posted July 12 #23 Posted July 12 imonol deserves way more love tbh, sociedad always look coached so clean and disciplined bro ?
vyckaund Posted July 15 #24 Posted July 15 honestly michel gets tons of credit now but imonol at sociedad does way more with less budget every season and nobody seems to notice, his team plays such slick football without the same hype
