Thought this was interesting. Per last decade and who knows how it would have continued but on paper he really didn’t do bad at all. I don’t understand why you bring a coach in with a vision and then not allow him to do his thing. Give it time, understand that the divas in the dressing room will need to adjust but let’s see the vision in its entirety

According to data from sports analytics company Opta, Alonso holds the fourth-best win percentage of managers in the club’s 116-year history. With 24 wins from 34 fixtures, the former Spain midfielder won 70.59% of his games in charge, level with Robert Firth, an Englishman who coached the club between 1932 and 1934.
Surprise coach leads the way
Only Manuel Pellegrini (75% from 48 games), José Mourinho (71.9% from 148 games), Radomir Antic (71% from 39 games) and Carlo Ancelotti (70.8% from 353 games) surpass Alonso in win percentage.
Legendary manager Miguel Muñoz, who won 14 trophies with the club between 1960 and 1974, did not even reach 60%, while Zinedine Zidane’s win percentage was under 70% in his first spell and just over 60% in his second.
– Got thrashed by the worse Atletico side in 10 years 5-2
– Got thrashed by PSG 4-0
– He promised rock ‘n’ roll, he lied. We defended like a small club against Atletico and Barca
– Every player was underperforming.
– No authority in the dressing room
– Bad in-game management with subs
– Nervous and not respected by players.
He was saved by Mbappe but I can’t think of one good thing he did. He did not improve anything.
Forgot about Lopetegui lol
Holy. Lopetegui really made us look like a mid table club.
I wonder if part of it is that the new CL format has more games against smaller clubs.
Xabi wasn’t the problem
Even without the backing he had
Not good enough for captain vini
