The departure of Hans-Dieter Flick from the post of head coach of Munich Bavaria forced the German grand to start looking for a new mentor for the next season, which ultimately became Julian Nagelsmann.
According to Bild journalist Christian Falk, Rotten will need to compensate Leipzig for a talented coach in the amount of 25 million euros excluding bonuses, which will make his transition the most expensive in the history of football among representatives of the profession..
In the meantime, we invite you to recall the previous transfers of coaches, which cost a pretty penny to their future employers.
10. Maurizio Sarri (from Chelsea to Juventus for 5.5 million euros in 2019) After a relatively successful first season in Foggy Albion, where Sarri managed to win the Europa League, as well as lead Chelsea to the group stage of the Champions League, he decided to return to Italy.
The Juventus leadership was just looking for a replacement for Massimiliano Allegri, who left the club, and also intended to build a new club identity for the "
Maurizio Sarri was supposed to introduce his famous “Sarribol” in Turin, but the coach was simply not given time to implement his philosophy. Another important factor was the departure from Lyon already at the first stage of the Champions League playoffs, which overwhelmed the management's patience. And then it was worth paying such compensation to the London club for the Italian coach?
Ronald Koeman (from Southampton to Everton for 6 million euros in 2016) Towards the middle of the last decade, Everton intended, although he still intends to build a promising project at Goodison Park, which will allow the "
The first serious call to the inevitable changes was the signing of Ronald Koeman, who built the pretty Southampton, and also allowed many football players to make a quality individual leap, but this appointment did not justify itself.
Yes, Everton made a lot of money for the new coach, spending more than 200 million in European currency just before the 2017/18 season, the second for the Dutchman in the team, but these investments did not allow the Liverpool club to move to a new stage of development.. Despite the seventh place in the first year of work, which allowed the team to qualify for the Europa League, in the fall of 2017 the current helmsman of Barcelona was asked to leave after a crushing defeat from Arsenal (2: 5).
“Butterscotch” had a terrible start in the Premier League, at the time of the specialist's dismissal, occupying only 18th place in the table, and also frankly failed the European campaign, gaining a modest four points in the quartet with Atalanta, Lyon and Apollo.
Mark Hughes (from Blackburn to Manchester City for € 6.2 million in 2008) Mark Hughes came to Manchester City shortly before the takeover of Abu Dhabi United Group. Under the ex-coach of Blackburn, the team was joined by Joe Hart, Vincent Company, Pablo Zabaleta, and on the last day of that summer transfer window, the Brazilian Robinho was bought with great fanfare..
The townspeople worked no less actively in the winter and summer of 2009, inviting future creators of epoch-making success, that is, victories in the championship in the 2011/12 season - Nigel de Jong, Gareth Barry, Kolo Toure, Carlos Tevez and others.
Despite such impressive acquisitions, Hughes did not manage to hold out for a long time in his post.. In the 2008/09 campaign, City finished only 10th in the Premier League, and was also eliminated from Hamburg in the Europa League quarterfinals. Well, shortly before Christmas in December 2009, he was in the sixth position in the league, which could not satisfy the growing appetites of the Arab owners, who decided to part with the Englishman and invite Roberto Mancini to the vacant seat..
Brendan Rogers (Swansea to Liverpool € 6.2m in 2012) This is not the last Northern Irishman on our list..
In the summer of 2012, Liverpool decided to lure into its ranks a promising specialist who showed good results with a modest Swansea. In the very first year of Rogers' work, the Swans managed to reach the playoffs of the Championship, where they alternately defeated Nottingham Forest and Reading, thereby making their debut in the Premier League, where they immediately took an honorable 11th place as a beginner.
Replacing the dismissed Kenny Dalglish, Brendan could not radically change the team's game from the very first call, taking only the seventh line in the table, but next year he almost returned the long-awaited champion cup to the club museum. Liverpool was great in the 2013/14 season, but lost a few precious points on the ribbon itself, thereby simply giving the title to Manchester City..
Less than a year and a half later, the mentor was dismissed after unsatisfactory results, and was replaced by Jurgen Klopp.
Adi Hutter (from Eintracht to Borussia Monchengladbach for € 7.5 million, the deal will take place next summer) The announcement of Marco Rosa's move to Dortmund next summer triggered an avalanche of coaching changes in Germany, which will surely continue for the foreseeable future. What is at least the possible departure of Oliver Glasner from Wolfsburg, which has been actively reported by the media recently.
Another " Yes, yes, it was his Young Boys who at one time brought great trouble to the giants of our football..
In Frankfurt am Main, the Austrian managed to put together a very nice team, which in the 2018/19 season stopped a step away from reaching the Europa League final (lost to Chelsea in the semifinals in a penalty shootout), but in the current campaign actively striving for debut in the Champions League. Gladbach probably guaranteed his future coach certain personnel and financial guarantees, which served as a litmus test for moving to the stallion camp.. One thing is clear - Huetter is definitely capable of taking Borussia to a new level..
Ruben Amorim (from Braga to Sporting for 7.5 million euros in 2020) It is curious that our top five are opened by a coaching transfer that happened not in the top championship.
Midfielder Ruben Amorim, known in the past for his performances for Braga and Benfica, is rapidly moving up the career ladder, but already as a mentor.
Believe it or not, Sporting Lisbon remains the only UEFA-ranked top-ten team in the top ten to have not suffered a single defeat in their national league.! The title of champion of the FNL League, which has not obeyed the “lions” since the 2001/02 season, is practically in your pocket, it remains only not to lose the advantage of six points over Porto in the last rounds.
There is no doubt that with such growth dynamics, the Portuguese has every chance to rise much higher in this list over time..
Brendan Rogers (from Celtic to Leicester for € 10.44 million in 2019) The Foxes owe their current success to Brendan Rogers, for whom over € 10 million was paid in 2019.
Under the leadership of the Northern Irishman, Leicester demonstrates progressive progress every year, and this season has practically guaranteed himself participation in the 2021/22 Champions League, which will undoubtedly be an incredible success for the recent champion of England..
Andre Villas-Boas (from Porto to Chelsea for 15 million euros in 2011) " However, on the transition from the camp of "
Villas-Boas did not even manage to finish until the end of the 2011/12 season, leaving the club in disgrace when he was in fifth place in the table, and also lost in the first match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League Napoli (1: 3). The Portuguese was hastily replaced by Roberto di Matteo, and then you yourself know everything.
Jose Mourinho (from Inter to Real for 16 million euros in 2010) The move of the " The Portuguese had to build a championship team, which was to break the hegemony of the magnificent Barcelona in La Liga, and, most importantly, to win the coveted "
Jose completed the first part of this plan, earning gold in an impressive style. Examples in the 2011/12 season, however, the romance with the Champions League did not work out.. Yes, under Mourinho, Real for the first time in a long time managed to reach the semifinals of the main European Cup, and three times in a row, but in Madrid they expected a more significant result.
In addition, at the end of his career, the “late” Jose Mourinho began to form at the helm of the “creamy”.
What is even the well-known conflict with the "
Julian Nagelsmann (from Leipzig to Bayern for 25 million euros, the deal will take place this summer) As we mentioned in the preview, this summer Julian Nagelsmann will change Saxony to Bayern, heading the club of the same name.
The deal is very interesting, and, for sure, allows the Munich people to close the issue with the head coach for years to come. Still, the specialist is quite young and can help Rotten build a new long-term successful project.
