Premier League 2021/2022: 'Coach Grinder' has started
(Baonghean.vn) - England's most prestigious tournament in the 2021/2022 season has not yet passed half of the first leg (round 8), but a strategist has already been fired.
At the end of the 7th round, which took place 2 weeks ago, Watford Club decided to part ways with coach Xisco Munoz. It is worth mentioning that under the leadership of the strategist born in 1980, the team nicknamed The Hornets had a not-so-bad start in the Premier League 2021/2022 when they won 7 points, with 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. Don't forget, Watford Club is 1 of 3 new recruits in the Premier League this season.

Coach Xisco Munoz is the first strategist to be fired in the Premier League 2021/2022. |
Immediately after announcing the "sack" of coach Xisco Munoz, the Vicarage Road team completed a contract with Italian strategist, coach Claudio Ranieri. In the past, the "welder" had led Chelsea, Fulham and especially Leicester City. At King Power Stadium, coach Claudio Ranieri helped the "foxes" win the Premier League championship in the 2015/2016 season, to the amazement of experts and fans around the world.
Seeing coach Xisco Munoz having to pack up and leave Watford, many strategists currently working in the Premier League will feel extremely worried and insecure. These include coach Steve Bruce of Newcastle United, coach Ola Solskjaer of Manchester United, coach Mikel Arteta of Arsenal, coach Daniel Farke of Norwich City or coach Sean Dyche of Burnley... If their teams continue to play disappointingly in the near future, they will certainly be fired by their owners.
According to information from the press in the UK, the strategist who will "follow in the footsteps" of coach Xisco Munoz, will most likely be coach Steve Bruce. Currently, the team nicknamed "Magpies" is under the management of the Saudi Arabian owners. One of the plans to help Newcastle United "transform" by the new Board of Directors is to change the head coach position. Coach Steve Bruce simply cannot meet their requirements, due to the poor performance of the team at St James Park.
As of the 8th round of the Premier League 2021/2022, Newcastle United has not won any matches and is currently languishing in 19th place on the rankings with only 3 points. It is very possible that instead of continuing to be patient with coach Steve Bruce, the Saudi Arabian owners will bring to the field a great strategist such as coach Antonio Conte, coach Zinedine Zidane or coach Frank Lampard. These are 3 talented coaches and especially in a state of "unemployment".
In short, the "coaching mill" of the Premier League 2021/2022 has officially started with the first victim being Watford coach Xisco Munoz. So, coach Steve Bruce, coach Ola Solskjaer, coach Mikel Arteta, coach Daniel Farke, coach Sean Dyche... be careful!
