Valverde is a good coach but not an elite nor top coach. Can you name a player who has developed under Valverde? Not talking about youngsters. Cant name one of our players he made better. Now look at what Pep and Kloop are doing at City and Liverpool; making great players worldclass. With KdB out, Pep is about to turn B.Silva into a worldclass cm. Not talking about Kloop and Mane, Firming and so on.
IMO we need a better coach. With Pep impossible I would simply love to see Kloop at Barca. Maybe Jardim.
Give Valverde this year and lets see if he improves.
