Pep Guardiola’s side missed out on a Premier League title for the first time in the last five seasons.
Following the relatively unsuccessful season, Manchester City have made multiple additions in various positions.
One of them is AC Milan’s Tijjani Reijnders.
The Dutch midfielder had a terrific season in Italy’s Serie A, also winning the Coppa Italia.
They beat arch rivals Inter Milan to claim that title.
At Man City, he will be sharing the pitch with midfielders such as Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Rayan Cherki, Mateo Kovačić, İlkay Gündoğan, and Nico González.
Reijnders brings traits of dynamism with and without the ball.
It will help Man City a huge deal with verticality.
In this scout report and player analysis, we will look at Tijjani Reijnders’ traits and what role he will play under Pep Guardiola.
Plymouth Argyle start a new era under Tom Cleverley.
The club’s faithful will be eager to understand what their new manager is likely to bring, not just in terms of results but also tactical identity, player development, and overall philosophy.
The appointment comes in the wake of a disappointing period at Watford, where Cleverley was the head coach.
He had some success with the Hornets, but his 33.9% win rate was enough for him to fall victim to the club’s constant chopping and changing of coaches.
Having now signed a three-year deal with the Pilgrims, Cleverley inherits a squad in transition, with the clear mandate of re-establishing competitiveness in EFL League One following a poor previous campaign in the EFL Championship.
This analysis will draw upon Cleverley’s footballing journey, his coaching principles, tactical preferences, and the realities of his managerial career so far.
It will also examine his strengths and weaknesses, provide a glimpse into his game model, and discuss some of the technical details of his tactical setups.
The aim is to provide a holistic picture of what Plymouth Argyle and League One can expect from Tom Cleverley.
