Highly rated thanks to Guardiola, 3rd tier level harsh, criticism

Roberto DeGerbi, who is considered a candidate for Bayern Munich's next head coach, was criticized as a "third tier" coach.

"Coach Fabio Capello classified Brighton & Hove Albion de Gerbi as the third tier coach and said he was highly evaluated thanks to Pep Guardiola."

De Gervi is one of the promising coaches in Europe. He started his career as a coach in Italy and became the manager of Benevento Calcio, a Serie A promotion team, during the 2017-18 season.

De Gehrby failed to prevent Benevento from being demoted, but was recognized for his pass-oriented football. He later took charge of Brighton ahead of the 2022-2023 season after serving as coach of Sassuolo and Shakhtar Donetsk.

That's when DeGerby's name began to be known in earnest. Last season, Brighton successfully advanced to the UEFA Europa League, setting the club's record for most points in a PL league.

Some even said that DeGerbi's passing football strategy is similar to that of Manchester City's Guardiola. Guardiola himself praised DeGerbi, saying, "He can be the coach of any European team."

Recently, there was a rumor about Kim Min-jae's appointment to Bayern Munich. Munich, which has no title this season, will part ways with manager Thomas Tuchel after the end of the season. Although there is still a period of contract left, the team decided to cancel it early.

Several figures were mentioned as the next coach. DeGerbi is one of them. According to Italian football team Football Italia, Max Eberl is known to be a big fan of DeGerbi. 스포츠중계

In this situation, it was argued that DeGerby was being overestimated. It was the opinion of Capello, who had coached the English national soccer team and Real Madrid in the past.

"I'm going to put him in the third tier," Capello said of De Gervi, adding, "There's a lot of talk about Guardiola being one of the best coaches because he supports him, but this year he remains 10th or 11th."

"What kind of win did you win in your coaching career? Let's see your resume. He is a ready-made coach who claims his ideas wherever he coaches. But none of the big clubs has ever participated in the event so far."
