About this episode
On the latest episode of the Managing Madrid podcast, Siddharth Ramsundar is joined by returning guest Ardit Karagjyzi (known on twitter as Loconté) to go over a detailed roundtable of Europe’s best coaches. A lot has changed this season: Mikel Arteta has been struggling offensively for Arsenal, Pep Guardiola has not been having the best time at Manchester City, and the relatively unknown Enzo Maresca has been doing a solid job at Chelsea. The coaching conversation needed a significant update. Ardit and Sid break down updates on some of the coaches discussed on the prior episode with Ardit like Michel and Xabi Alonso, then add guys like Gasperini, Maresca, Arteta and Enrique to the discussion. A sheet with their views on all 10 coaches discussed is attached for summary.
