Coaches who Failed in their Debut Season, but Finally Succeded

DBasia.news –  Frank Lampard, the Chelsea manager, is the young manager who has received the most attention in the 2019-20 Premier League.

Frank Lampard led Chelsea when they visited Manchester United headquarters. However, the Blues returned empty handed after losing 4-0 to the Red Devils. Marcus Rashford became a star by packing two goals.

Four days later, Lampard’s ability to deal with Chelsea was increasingly questioned. As the Blues fell back. This time, Christian Pulisic and his mates defeated Liverpool in the European Super Cup final match.

Although the start of the season went badly for Frank Lampard, however, the manager needs to be given a chance. Moreover, the opponents faced by Chelsea were elite English clubs.

In addition, a number of great coaches also had difficulty on their debut. Not infrequently, they achieved results that are not expected by the top brass of the team. However, because of patience and hard work, the coaches were able to achieve success.

Here are three coaches who had difficulty on their debut, but managed to achieve success:

Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester United)

However, Sir Alex Ferguson learned many lessons from that defeat. With the support of Man United’s management and ability to formulate tactics, a series of trophies continued to enter the cabinets.

Until retirement, Sir Alex Ferguson has brought Manchester United to win 38 titles including 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies. In fact, until now, Man United is still having trouble finding a replacement that is compatible with the legendary manager.

Pep Guardiola (Barcelona)

Pep Guardiola did not want the incident to repeat itself in the next match. He continues to look for the best strategy for Lionel Messi and his mates.

As a result, Barcelona has won 19 wins in the next 20 LaLiga matches. At the end of the competition, the stain at the beginning of the trip faded after the Blaugrana won the LaLiga, Copa del Rey and Champions League titles.

Roberto Mancini (Inter Milan)

Roberto Mancini came to replace Zaccheroni to coach Inter Milan in the 2004-2005 season. Great hope rested on the Italian coach to bring the Nerazzurri back to victorious.

However, Roberto Mancini’s journey at Inter Milan has gone through tough times. From 13 Serie A matches, Inter won 11 draws.

The patience was not in vain. Roberto Mancini helped Inter Milan dominate Serie A for three successive seasons. In the end, Mancini was replaced by Jose Mourinho during the 2008-2009 season.
