da apostaganha： [ad_pod ]Puel out, Puel out, Puel out.ÂOn Sunday morning, the Leicester City supporters got their ultimate wish: the Frenchman was dismissed from his position following a humiliating 4-1 defeat against Crystal Palace.The decision was largely greeted with enthusiasm by the supporters, but was he really that bad? Plenty of outsiders simply don’t get it; Leicester and Southampton fans are united in their opinion.There is something fundamental missing from Puel’s managerial repertoire which has stunted his reputation in English football.While his latest dismissal may well represent the last time we see him in a Premier League dugout, it appears his departure has paved the way for Brendan Rodgers to return to English football following a successful hiatus in Scotland.According to the BBC, Rodgers is set to replace Puel in the manager’s hotseat after holding talks with Leicester, abandoning Celtic just days after they were dumped out of the Europa League by Valencia.
The Bhoys will, naturally, be incandescent to see the boss depart the club. But, once the initial state of mourning dissipates, supporters of the Scottish giants should be able to sympathise with the decision.
On paper, Leicester have the best starting eleven outside of the top-six. Recent victories against Manchester City and Chelsea combined with an unfortunate defeat against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley have provided the tangible proof to suggest they have the quality to break the status quo in English football.
Everton are regularly cited as the club with the most legitimate ambitions of toppling the established order, but why not Leicester?
They have the players to challenge the supremacy of the top-six and a strong history of defying the odds. Rodgers will surely be salivating at the prospect of working with the current crop of talent.
James Maddison, Wilfred Ndidi, Harry Maguire, Ben Chilwell and Kasper Schmeichel are all players with credentials to play for a top-six club; Kelechi Iheanacho, Harvey Barnes, Demarai Gray and Hamza Choudhury are all captivating young talents with huge scope to rise in the game.
The irony is though, that Puel has already done much of the hard work by bedding those young players in – Rodgers, albeit with obvious input of his own too, is now set to reap the rewards of that often uneasy transition.
This was an opportunity which Rodgers simply couldn’t refuse, but not just because of the players at his disposal. Players, after all, are limited by the parameters in which they are asked to operate.
Under Claudio Ranieri, Leicester were the masters of incisive and cutting-edge, counter-attacking football.
But the club have undergone something of a transition since his departure – one which has largely been instigated and implemented by Puel. That shift has seen, much to the disgust of plenty of supporters, Jamie Vardy’s importance diminish.
The default mechanism is no longer to exploit Vardy’s jet-heeled speed between the channels, as a more measured and possession-based game has been championed by Puel.
Sceptical supporters have lambasted the approach as boring and lacking direction but, with some expertly devised fine-tuning, the new identity taking shape could take Leicester to the next level.
That’s where Rodgers comes in. The former Liverpool boss is renowned for his effective possession-based game, and it was his determination to stay true to his principles at Swansea which enabled him to take the step up into jobs at both Anfield and Celtic Park.
What the above statistics reveal about Rodgers is telling: his legacy will be imprinted into the core at Leicester and the fruits of his labour will continue to persist beyond his tenure. Take nothing away from Michael Laudrup, he was also a smart tactician with a similar approach, but the fact Swansea’s possession only dropped by 1.8% after Rodgers’ departure speaks volumes about what he can bring to the King Power Stadium.
The implementation of a new philosophy is not an overnight process and the Foxes faithful cannot expect instant results.
However, the waiting game has been significantly reduced by Puel. Strides have been made to adapt to a possession-based style which is well-suited to the myriad of exceptional individuals who currently reside within the squad. The conclusion of a nostalgic era defined by an over-reliance on Vardy’s pace on the counter-attack is on the horizon.
Rodgers is blessed with the credentials to take Leicester to the next level, but his potential for future success has been aided by an inadvertent helping hand from the man who was vehemently ushered away from the club.
