Domenico Tedesco is in the eye of the storm after the dramatic 2024 for the Red Devils. His justifications no longer pass.
Was Domenico Tedesco the right coach to make the transition after the golden generation? This does not seem to be the opinion of Kevin Mirallas : “It was ridiculous to have to deal without certain important players, like Witsel and Carrasco. Even if they were not going to play every match, their experience would have been essential” he declared in Sudpresse.
Tedesco’s legacy is increasingly questionable: “If it continues like this, the only thing we will remember is that three pillars of the national team could stop playing because of him. They won’t all say it, but it will be mainly because of him.”
A record that is less and less defensible
Beyond that, a response from the coach appeals to him more than anything: “I think we are better placed now than after the Euro” declared Tedesco after the Nations League matches. “Personally, I think it’s worse. Yes, during the Nations League, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne were not on the pitch together, but we cannot say that we are better” protests Mirallas.
Philippe Albert is even more angry. “He takes people for idiots,” he declares for his part. “Even those who know little about football and follow the national team from afar cannot accept this. You only collect 4 points out of 18, even though you face Israel twice.”
For the former Red Devil, this is beyond belief: “Being ambitious and wanting to move forward is good. But this statement goes completely against the results. He must understand that he has chance to still hold this position.
