I think we should go for our own home born Chris Coleman, he was unlucky in China...he did a decent job for the national team, admittedly I only watched him on the Telly as I don’t like going to Wales games unless they are at the liberty but he knows what it takes to get us where we deserve..... |
He wouldnt manage his home town club. |  | | |

Interestingly, Sky bet are not giving odds on Oscar Garcia as the next Manager.
Friend of mine requested odds on him and he was told that there are no odds on him but other requests have been given without hesitation.
Would anyone know why they would not give odds upon request? | |

The coach
A true original, Michael Köllner is a sportswriter's dream in terms of his backstory and no less of an inspiration to his young Nuremberg charges. Incredibly, the 48-year-old is taking charge of his first senior side a little over a year since answering Der Club's call. A qualified dental assistant who served for eight years as a medical assistant in the German armed forces, Köllner is also an author, having penned a manual on football tactics. After 15 years working with the DFB, the tactician decided to mix things up in his life by looking at professional football coaching.
Coach Michael Köllner has a background no other coach can boast of. - © gettyimages / Grimm / Bongarts
And things have gone astoundingly well since. The sort of coach who gives books as gifts to his players at Christmas, for "education has not harmed anyone yet," Köllner also brought his charges to visit a monastery while he often insists they switch off their smart phones and communicate with each other more. Extra time spent in the dining room is encouraged so that conversation between teammates can flourish. Yet Köllner does have his hard side, mixing the sort of arm around the shoulder with a disciplined approach to great effect. Team spirit is thus the key.

Now this guy on the other hand...
I'd be getting him over for some talks without doubt. How long has he been out of a job? | |

That pitch didn’t need any grass on it 😫

You should look at Kasper Hjulmand former head coach of FC Nordsjælland from Denmark. Excellent at developing young players and playing The Swansea Way. He would take Morten Wieghorst with him as an assistent. As you know he was assistant under Laudrup.

Michael Köllner Looks a far more exciting option than any other name I’ve seen put out there.
Yes please |
He’d be a massive risk as he’s mostly managed youth teams until stepping up for Nuremburg senior tram which ended in failure. | |

I've yet to hear a better call than this. His pedigree is similar to Potter's, and has been a manager for a similar length of time. He's also available, owing to a fall-out with the owners when Anderlecht wanted to appoint him earlier this year, but Nordsjælland wouldn't allow him to leave at that point without compensation.
This article gives an impression of what he's about: http://bundesligafanatic.com/20140516/a-closer-look-at-the-coaching-style-of-mai
Although he didn't last long at Mainz his record (5W - 11D - 8L) wasn't that bad for Bundesliga newboys, and they were outside the relegation zone when he was sacked. He's since done well again with Nordsjælland, who are a similar relative size in Denmark to Ostersunds in Sweden.
This sentence certainly gets my juices flowing:
"Hjulmand has done so by implementing a playing style with a high focus on possession and short passes, leading his FC Nordsjælland side to be named a mini-Barcelona by some observers. "
This comment backs that up: "At one point a Danish journalist needed some statistics on FC Nordsjælland’s possession in their championship season and thus texted Hjulmand. A few seconds later the answer arrived: “59.6%. Last year 63% with 618 passes on average”.
Also: “He is also an emphatic coach with a clear and creative philosophy — and quite a lot of charisma. I think Mainz see some of the same in Hjulmand as they once saw in Klopp”.
Our track record with managers may put him off judging by this comment: “It matters to Hjulmand that he’s allowed to build his project as he did in Nordsjælland. Had it been Hamburg or any other club who change their coach every third month, he would probably quickly find himself out of the club again”. However, we may be able to convince him that he'll be given more time at Swansea given the change of circumstances and approach after our relegation.
There may be better options out there, but on the face of it he's certainly someone we should be seriously considering.
Important though the next managerial appointment is, getting the right recruitment team in place is probably more important in the long term. At least Birch seems to acknowledge this, so that gives me some grounds for optimism. |  | | |

Lets look at this Hjumland. Being a Scandinavian then he would be used to working with youngsters, they are renowned for nurturing youngsters into the first team. He would also have a good knowledge of the scandanavian leagues and a decent one of the German league, for me, it is important to have someone with a wider knowledge than that of just the English pyramid. | |

I'd be curious to hear more from FCKrogh, who I'm guessing is Danish. What is the latest take on Hjulmand? What sort of formations and tactics do his sides adopt?
Another big factor in his favour is his association with Morten Wieghorst, given his tenure as assistant to Laudrup. Wieghorst might not be keen on coming back to Swansea of course, but given that the people in charge have completely changed there shouldn't be any good reasons for him not wanting to return. Apart from the weather of course. | | | |

Alan Tate: Club legend interested in Swansea City manager's job
"I have spoken to the new chairman [Trevor Birch] about different things. The club know where I am," Tate said.
"The chairman is a football guy and an intelligent guy. He is getting the best people in the best places he feels to help the club go forward.
"If he sees me as part of that now or in the future then great. I have never made any secret that I would love to do the [manager's] job one day."

You guessed correct. I am Danish. (sorry for the spelling mistakes in advance)
Hjulmand is a very respected coach in danish football and possibly a future coach for the danish national team. He quit his job at FC Nordsjælland (FCN) because he wants to coach abroad. He almost got the job at Anderlecht, (but they chose Kompany) and he is now being linked with Genk and Brøndby. As a fan of FC Copenhagen, I really don't hope he ends up at Brøndby.
He won the danish championship with FC Nordsjælland in 2011 and was in the Champions League group stage. Winning the danish championship with FCN is a big deal. FCN has a small budget compared to alot of the other teams in the danish league.
Hjulmand and FC Nordsjælland are famous for giving very young players a chance to play in the danish superliga. They don't buy many players but instead make them themselves. Then selling them at a big profit. Like Swansea have to do in the future.
Look at this link from Transfermarkt.com
https://www.transfermarkt.com/fc-nordsjaelland/startseite/verein/2778
As you can see, most players are very young but still gets to play at the highest level in Denmark. This resulting in FCN producing some of the best talent in Denmark. The players under Hjulmand are known for having very good technique and passing skills. His teams play a lot like Swansea did under Brendan Rodgers and Michael Laudrup. Playing out from the goal keeper with alot of passes. He plays with fast wing-backs and fast inside forwards. Either 4-3-3 or 3-4-3.
This season this 19 year old player https://www.transfermarkt.com/andreas-skov-olsen/profil/spieler/432982 has been the big talking point scoring 22 goals as a right inside forward. He is being linked with a lot of big clubs abroad. Last year nobody knew him. But Hjulmand gave him the chance.
Hjulmand used to be assistant under Wieghost in FC Nordsjælland earlier in his career but when Hjulmand was close to the Anderlecht job it was mentioned that he would bring Wieghorst as his assistant. So I think that might still be the plan. But not sure. I don't know if Wieghorst would like to go back to Swansea, but I think it helps that Huw is gone.
One of Hjulmand's good friends/colleagues is Thomas Frank, manager of Brentford. [Post edited 27 May 2019 15:20]
