That thumbnail is terrifying 🤣

Therapist: Don't worry, Manager Busquets doesn't exist. Manager Busquets:

[@HITCSevens]

What you all don't know is that Busquets fell off motorbike in the future, causing significant damage to his chin that forced him into an early retirement and into coaching. With that in mind, the thumbnail is actually frighteningly accurate.

HITC Sevens fell off *a* motorbike

[@kameronsiddique5467]

football highlights Alfie fuming

[@Halcryder]

I think Philipp Lahm dropping out of the game unexpectedly does kinda point that it may not be the case that Josh Kimmich will follow that route. I treat both of them very similarly, both intelligent full backs that essentially start moving into the central of the park as their career matures due to how well they read games.

[@edwardlyons7265]

Best season since being promoted

[@westyNUFC]

based on my previous comment i'd like to see a video of 7 former player who surprisingly haven't stepped into management.

[@i.k5143]

Xabi Alonso. Read the game as a player and played under Pep, Mourinho, Ancelotti, Del Bosque.

[@brettpope3573]

He's managing Real Sociedad's second team i believe

[@notothe8915]

[@htpr_ice2360]

[@areebsiddiqui758]

Troy Deeney, he seems destined for BT Sport. They love a shit talker. James Milner is probably the best I can think of right now.

[@michaeluhl9938]

He's not a current player. Also he seems uninterested in coaching. At the moment he's the head of the planning comitee for the 2024 European Cup in Germany. He'll probably step into other similar positions after that. He'll probably end up as some kind of official with DFB, UEFA or FIFA.

Thomas Muller, he is one of the most intelligent players. He is not particularly skillful yet it has become one of the best players in the world just because he knows how to read the game. He is basically a chess player playing football.

Which both have already shown they have interest in coaching as well as helping younger players in the squad. In regards to Scott Brown it’s literally a conversation in week as to when he will retire. Then as to when he will become Celtic coach. Dude is arguably one of the best leaders on a pitch in this era and he’s left out. Cause he plays in Scotland. Tragic
