Conte would be a fantastic, although too unrealistic option for the job. Some of the names being banded around here are dreadful... Enrique? Valverde? I've not seen anything from them to suggest that they can make the step up. Fair play to Valverde for taking Bilbao to 4th, they've played some good stuff but he's not what we need at the moment. Enrique would be verging on the disastrous; not done anything of note since leaving the B team, flopped at Roma and he's treading water with Celta.
De Boer would be my choice, which I have maintained for a very long time. He quite clearly has no issue motivating his team considering that Ajax are all set for their fourth league title in a row. Let's not forget that they deservedly beat us in the CL earlier in the season and were desperately unlucky not to go through from our group against a Milan team with infinitely larger resources than them. My only fear with de Boer is the current board; if they appointed him, they'd have to be 100% behind him, and let him do his own thing. No point appointing him if the board are going fuck him around as they have done previously.
