Marcelo Bielsa

Apparently Tan wants Marcelo Bielsa, who's been recommended by Medel. He's the former Chilie manager and also Athletic Bilbao amongst other clubs. Pep Guardiola has called him "the best manager in the world".

Athletic Bilbao's former striker Fernando Llorente, currently of Juventus said in an interview "At first he seems tough and he may even annoy you with his persistence and don't-take-no-for-an-answer resilience, but in the end he is a genius."

Barcelona's Pep Guardiola called him the "best manager in the world" in 2012.

I would absolutely love it if we could get Biesla.

He would be an excellent choice and would completely rejuvenate the team.

Promising, be nice to see some good Football.

Managing Chile and Athletico Bilbao is very good and both play some great stuff judging on what I seen.

We could even sign Iker Muniain.

ya but would he come here tho were not really a big club tho

Medel is in Chilie's top 3 players, and he would've taken note that he's signed for us. You never know...

Optimistic.

Tommy Smith would be devastated. He's still having nightmares after playing against him in pre-season

Bilbao deystroyed Man Utd a few years back in the Europa league... Bielsa is a very interesting character:

Would absolutely love him to take the reins at Cardiff... If only he can convince Alexei Sanchez to sign

However, it seems he would have a lot of work to do at Cardiff to get the team playing in his style

"The suspicion is that Bilbao is a better home for him than Milan, on various levels. These range from the very basic details (Spanish-speaking manager will immediately be able to communicate in Spain rather than in Italy) to the composition of the side. Athletic are a young, energetic team who played high-tempo, vibrant, Bielsa-style football under his predecessor Joaquin Caparros, whereas Inter are used to playing slow football and defending deep, and also have an elderly side."

However, against Fulham away we did play quick engaging football... So the possibility is there... Just probably need a couple more players to make it happen... Let's see... Could be interesting

Good find that. Sounds like the type of manager most of us have been crying out for.

ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK.

Ii said I wanted him about a month ago and thought it was unrealistic but hopefully this comes off. Bit of a nut case but his tactics and football are incredible.

if this happens I will buy a thousand cardiff shirts and wear them all at the same time, every day for a year.

Thats how unlikely i think this is

Not got a clue how you're so sure. Obviously Medel and him are close'ish. Never say never in football.

This post is bookmarked.

Doubt we would get him but would certainly be what we would need. He would undoubtably need alot of funds to improve the squad to suit his formation

Bielsa is a superstar manager and would not go to a newly promoted side, relegation threatened with a bonkers chairman IMO.

Happily bookmark it too. At the moment you can name your price on Bielsa with the bookies - for good reason. It reminds me of Swams fans reckoning Pep was going to succees Rogers

Im sure he will be offered more money than anything Cardiff could offer if he wanted a job and made himself available. Why would he damage his reputation?

I think that may be a little harsh, i'm sure he would make a good account of himself here if he was given the funds to implement the players & tactics he wants.

For the record, I don't believe he will come here either,

But strange things do happen in this sport we love

He is a manager that wants to add to his reputation by winning things. The chances of him doing that at Cardiff are slim. Best he could hope for is keeping you up with a high-ish finish. That isnt going to increase his reputation on the world stage.

I just think its incredibly unrealistic.

He didn't win anything with Bilbao
