Farioli’s philosophy leaves shackled Nice in a slump and lacking a plan B

04 Mar 2024  |  the Guardian  |  English  |  Football

Nice's manager Francesco Farioli is facing challenges with the team's lack of goals and recent defeats, despite having the best defensive record in Ligue 1. The team's conservative structure has limited their attacking potential, and key players like Khéphren Thuram are underperforming. Nice remains fifth in the league, but their momentum has stalled, and they have not earned any points from losing positions this season. Elsewhere, FC Metz ended their winless run, and PSG's Kylian Mbappé was substituted at half-time against Monaco, indicating possible tactical shifts within the team.

Arsenal: Gunners interested in £66m forward

01 Apr 2023  |  thisisfutbol.com  |  English  |  Transfers

Arsenal have renewed their interest in Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic, marking him as their top target for the transfer window. Manager Mikel Arteta is satisfied with current strikers Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus but seeks a more physical forward.

Despite a challenging season at Juventus, Vlahovic is seen as a valuable addition to Arsenal, especially with the club's return to Champions League football. The Serbian striker has been praised for his versatility and goal-scoring ability, making him a strong candidate to bolster Arsenal's attack.

Why Julian Nagelsmann replacing Graham Potter at Chelsea makes perfect sense

28 Mar 2023  |  www.footballtransfers.com  |  English  |  Managerial Changes

Julian Nagelsmann, recently dismissed from Bayern Munich, is being considered as a potential replacement for Graham Potter at Chelsea. Despite leading Chelsea to the Champions League quarterfinals, Potter faces criticism from fans. Tottenham is also interested in Nagelsmann, but he prefers to take the rest of the season off. Laurence Stewart, Chelsea's co-sporting director, previously worked with Nagelsmann at RB Leipzig, where they had a successful collaboration. This connection could benefit Chelsea, although Potter's position appears secure for now.
