The Managerial Show

This season of The Managerial Show has got to be one of the most entertaining one we've watched in a while. I mean we had everything: manager sacked one hour after a game, one of the best manager in the world sacked, a manager thought he was sacked when he wasn't... Man, everything. And we're not even halfway through the season yet.

Sign in on Netflix and watch The Managerial Show with me:

Episode 1. Oct. 4: Liverpool have one win in nine matches following a 1-1 draw against Everton under Bredan Rodgers. An hour after the game... Rodgers sacked.











Even Thierry Henry is stunned while watching the first episode.



Episode 2. Oct. 8: Two times Bundesliga champion and German Football of the Year Manager, Jurgen Klopp, joins Liverpool.

Episode 3. Brotherly hood: Phil Neville is appointed as assistant coach at Valencia on Jul. 2015. His older brother Gary Neville would later join him as head coach on Dec. 2 2015. Play (or dance) together, coach together. 




Episode 4. Oct. 23: Pep Guardiola announces that he will leave Bayern Munich after the season. Half of the Champions League want him. Swag.

Episode 5. Dec. 14: Three times Premier League Manager of the Year, Jose Mourinho, is one point above relegation zone with Chelsea. The Portuguese does feel "betrayed" by the players but he says: "I want to stay." Is Roman Abramovich going to give The Special One a special treatment?

Episode 6. Dec. 17: No special treatment for The Special One. Mourinho sacked.

Who's going to replace him?? Guus Hiddink, Brendan Rodgers or Diego Simeone?

Commercial break: 




Episode 7. Dec. 19: Guus Hiddink joins Chelsea as interim. 

Dec. 19: Manchester United threatens to sack Louis van Gaal if he doesn't bring the club back to winning ways. Van Gaal's next game is on Dec. 26 against Stoke City at Britannia Stadium. 

Episode 8. Dec. 20: Carlo Ancelotti to replace Guardiola next season at Bayern Munich. Mourinho agrees on a deal to Manchester United, he just need to sign the contract. Wait, Real Madrid want Mourinho back! Manchester City are leading the way in the Pep Chase. Uff, what an episode.

Episode 9. Dec. 22: United fans, you guys really thought Mourinho was on his way to Old Trafford? Mourinho's agent Jorge Mendes tells Globo Esporte: "That's not true," according to Goal. Give Jorge Mendes a call yourself to ask him.

Dec. 22: Former Manchester City winger, Trevor Sinclair, tweets that United sacked Van Gaal.

This was re-tweeted 1.1 thousand times. Now the whole football world thinks that Van Gaal got sacked. Including Van Gaal. While people are still re-tweeting, Sinclair tweets this:

Episode 10. Dec. 23: Van Gaal leaves five minutes into a press conference after saying: "Has anybody in this room not a feeling to apologize to me? That's what I am wondering. I think I was already sacked I have read. Or have been sacked." Watch the full press conference:

Sorry, Van Gaal.  But will he beat Stoke City on Boxing Day and escape a real sacking? Can Hiddink manage Chelsea out of the bottom of the league? Will Guardiola go to City as expected? Where will Mourinho end up? When's the next time I'm playing soccer?
