Norwich City: 5 Potential Replacements For Chris Hughton

5. Marcelo Bielsa (Unemployed)

bielsa_18331910 As I have said in previous articles, it can be a dangerous game to go for a manager that it currently out of work since that means he will have failed elsewhere. However, maybe some of that doesn€™t apply to Marcelo Bielsa since he comes with a wealth of footballing experience. The Argentine coach can point to spells in charge of Newell€™s Old Boys, Atlas, America, Velez Sarsfield, Espanyol, Argentina, Chile and Athletic Bilbao during his extensive management career. However, he hasn€™t managed in England before and doesn€™t seem to stay with any one club for a great deal of time. Bielsa is currently seen to have a 16/1 chance of netting the Norwich City job, and if it were to happen it would perhaps be seen as a change of direction for the club. Hiring a foreign manager would certainly show that Norwich are seeing themselves as an international product that needs to attract a worldwide audience. Nevertheless, I would be surprised if such a move was made prior to this coming summer.
