Thorup is a coach and a manager

[MC_NCFC 246]

You can start to see signs of his coaching style and identity. He definitely has his own style like Farke embedded into us.

however, what impressed me the most is his management. It’s been difficult behind the scenes. He’s made big calls and he has influenced the game with substitutions. 

Have we ever had a more rounded manager?

[cambridgeshire canary 7,580]

Have Sargent and Hernandez left the club like you claimed? Could I could swear I saw them today..

[Justin time 199]

You’re still here then.

[Worthy Nigelton 1,232]

Jesus, he's been in the post for five minutes and he's our most well rounded manager ever... with one win under his belt in the second tier!

I'm very encouraged by the style, the start, the signings and his demeanour but it's too early to claim anything as ridiculous as this yet. Who knows how he'll end up, but he looks like he has something for sure.

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,784]

But has he bought his house!!??

Nope both stayed and I got it wrong. It was strange that Sainz made such a point to celebrate with Hernandez though. But no I was wrong and happy to admit I made a mistake.

Hang on, I'll ring Yildirim Bertug and see what he thinks, as a player playing under JHT

Hopefully that is one prediction you will get right.

[Nexus_Canary 1,159]

I still find it hilarious you thought sarge was leaving.

We have at least 1 more seasons with him.

Family is happy, important long term member of his national set up and he's the main striker at his club. He can score goals and only get better here. There is currently no reason for him to leave.

**Subject: Challenging Modern Football Tactics: Where Does Johannes Thorup Fit in as Norwich’s New Manager?**

Football tactics have evolved drastically in recent years, with the modern game dominated by several key styles. High-pressing systems, possession-based football, and fast transitional play are some of the most prevalent approaches. But as these tactics become more widespread, one has to wonder: is the game becoming too predictable? Are we losing the unpredictability that once made football so thrilling?

Take high-pressing, for example. Popularized by managers like Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, pressing from the front has become almost ubiquitous in top-flight football. It’s effective, sure, but it often leads to similar patterns of play across teams. Then there's possession-based football, with managers like Guardiola and Mikel Arteta emphasizing control and ball retention. While aesthetically pleasing, it can sometimes lead to sterile domination without penetration, leaving fans craving more direct, incisive play.

Fast transitions, favored by managers like Antonio Conte and Roberto De Zerbi, add excitement by turning defense into attack within seconds. But even this style has its limitations when teams sit deep, forcing transitional sides to play a different, often less comfortable, game.

Enter Johannes Thorup, the new Norwich City manager. Thorup's tactical approach has been a mix of pragmatism and adaptability, shaped by his experiences across Denmark and Belgium. He’s known for his ability to adjust his team's style depending on the opposition, which is a breath of fresh air in a landscape often dominated by rigid systems. At FC Copenhagen, he implemented a balanced approach that combined pressing, possession, and transitional play, without leaning too heavily on any single tactic.

So how does Thorup fit into the modern tactical scene? He seems to offer something that many current managers don't—a willingness to be flexible and unpredictable. This could be exactly what Norwich needs as they look to cement their place in the Championship and aim for promotion. Thorup’s versatility could make Norwich a difficult team to prepare for, as opponents may struggle to predict exactly how they’ll play.

But will this adaptability be enough to succeed in a league where specialized systems often rule? Can Thorup's balanced approach truly stand out against the more extreme tactical ideologies? These are the questions that Norwich fans, and football enthusiasts in general, will be eager to see answered this season.

What are your thoughts? Is football becoming too rigid tactically? And can Thorup’s adaptable approach make a mark in the modern game?

He's neither, he's a head coach and a leader.

Accurate though. And rather than pedantic, really important. They are very distinct roles.

A manager takes on the responsibility of all footballing aspects at the club and is directly given the budget to work within.

A head coach works with a sporting director to share that load so their time can be focused on the players.

Then you have another thing to add in the realms of 'management training'. The difference between management and leadership.

What we sometimes refer to as 'man management' is leadership, for example.

Then, last of all, you have 'game management' which is the aspect of during a match, being able to make decisions that will influence the game to your favour. Players will have some of this too, taking the ball to the corner flag etc.
