The manager has been out of work since his surprise dismissal
I thought he was really unlucky to get fired
I wouldn't be surprised at all, James, if he gets a new job really quickly.

ACCEPT OBJECTIVES
Hamburg have unveiled their new manager this morning. I'll be interested to see how he sets them up.
Will he stick to his word and look to dominate possession? Can we expect an attacking philosophy?
Rafa, how's it going with Hamburg's new manager?
Well we'll have to see how he sets up the team. Will it be the dominant approach with lots of possession?
With lots of pressing, lots of vertical play? Or more cautious approach where they sit
and try to lure teams in and then hit them on the break.

COUNTER ATTACK
Rafa... Hamburg's new manager.
How's that working out? Well the fans are a little bit upset because he'd come with a promise to play...
attacking football - a gung-ho approach - and it has really failed to materialize so far.
You can see the Hamburg fans aren't falling in love with the football.
Bein Sports understands that the Hamburg manager has been in crunch talks with the board
After much debate and discussion, the board are concerned...
...with the progress in achieving the club's vision

St Étienne... They've got a new man in charge Julien.
Tell me more. I think it's a great coup.
A lot of big clubs were following him mostly for his ability to develop young players and you know how...
...good the academy is at St Étienne. He's going to get the best out of his squads and it will be fascinating to see...
...which young players he brings through to the first team. There's a young striker...
...I know the fans are really excited by. There's so much hype about this kid.
Since the goals he scored at youth level with the club and will be fascinating to see how much game time
the Manager will give him this season.

PROMOTE TO FIRST TEAM
St Étienne kick off their season at home with a surprise inclusion among the substitutes.
At just 17 years old he's a player with a very bright future.
There's so much hype around him.
The fans are super excited to see him play. We could be about to witness something special.
WHAT A MISS! That'll make the headlines for the wrong reasons.
The young striker had a debut to forget after his shocking effort found Row Z. I think he lost a lot...
...of confidence. He never played again.
Maybe because the manager lost a bit of trust in him. The Manager has sidelined so many young players.
I mean the dressing room is split, the fans are unhappy and the pressure is growing.
The Manager's got a lot to answer to. The Manager's come under increasing pressure over his team...
...selection. I can't really see him turning this around.
The manager really lost the trust of the dressing room.
St Étienne have sacked their manager. They disagreed obviously with the treatment of the young striker.
In a written statement the board said that the manager had failed to meet their objectives...
...particularly when it came to developing youth players.

The young St Étienne striker is on the move.
Yeah that's right the manager has decided to loan him out in England.
To AFC Wimbledon where hopefully he will get some valuable first team experience and game time as well
He can't stop scoring in the English Football League.
...at the moment. It's an absolute masterstroke by the manager to get that deal done.
He's been recalled by St Étienne.
Logically I think. And I think the fans will be expecting big things from him this coming season
The manager said he's got him in his thoughts. After what was a stunning season on loan.

St Étienne fans are furious over the sale of their former youth player. The young striker wanted to thank the Watford manager for...
...believing in his ability. Shocking scenes at L'Étrat.
The fans mobbing the manager's car. Not happy about the fact that the club decided to sell him despite his potential.
Selling one of their own!
They wanted to protest against the decision of the club.
...to sell him and not giving him a bit more time. I think Watford have got an absolute bargain here.
Youu can see why they St Étienne fans are furious with the manager for letting him go.
