In the last few hours, reports on the arrival of former Valencia manager Marcelino in London has been rife in social media channels, suggesting he is moving to a new club.<\/p>\n
At the moment, Arsenal and Everton managerial position is vacant following the sacking of Unai Emery and Marco Silva.<\/p>\n
It has been reported that Arsenal is in contact with Marcelino last season and he recently declined an offer from Everton.<\/p>\n
So, there is only one club he could go and that is Arsenal which might not be a good news for the Gunners fans all over the world.<\/p>\n
Marcelino was sacked in September after managing Valencia for two years, despite winning Copa Del Ray, beating the mighty Barcelona in 2-1 victory at the end of last season.<\/p>\n
He blamed the club board, who wanted him to pursue for the Champions League qualification and not Copa Del Ray, basically saying he is fallen out of favour.<\/p>\n
But does Arsenal truly need Marcelino?<\/p>\n
The 54-year-old had actually did well with Valencia, as he steered the club to two consecutive Champions League qualification in a row, something that previous Valencia managers failed to do so.<\/p>\n
However, in terms of his success, it is comparatively smaller than Unai Emery’s.<\/p>\n
If Emery failed to succeed in Arsenal, the same thing might happen again with Marcelino. They need a manager with a clear philosophy and transfer policy, aside from a quality man management.<\/p>\n
There are simply better candidates than Marcelino, they need a manager who is visionary, someone who is able to help Arsenal to qualify for Champions League once again, and above all, creating a title-winning side.<\/p>\n
If not, Arsenal fans will continue to suffer for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
