Supporters, who had hoped for a fresh approach and a turnaround in fortunes, have instead been met with underwhelming performances and results that have left the club languishing near the lower end of the table.
Expectations were high when the club announced the managerial change in the summer, with the new boss promising attacking football, tactical discipline, and a renewed sense of identity. However, the early weeks have been anything but smooth. A combination of defensive lapses, lack of creativity in midfield, and poor finishing in the final third has left fans disillusioned. For many, patience is already wearing thin, with some openly calling for the board to act swiftly and make yet another change at the helm.
The club’s hierarchy, however, has so far urged calm, insisting that the manager needs more time to implement his ideas and settle into the role. Sources close to the board suggest there is currently no appetite for an immediate dismissal, though privately there is acknowledgment that results must improve quickly to ease the tension among the fanbase.
Social media has been flooded with criticism, with many supporters pointing to questionable tactical decisions, uninspiring team selections, and an apparent lack of urgency in key moments of matches. For the players, the situation is equally challenging, as confidence has visibly dipped and pressure continues to mount ahead of upcoming fixtures.
With a crucial run of games approaching, the manager faces a defining period in his young reign. A few positive results could ease the scrutiny and restore some faith, but continued struggles may force the board’s hand sooner than expected. The next month could determine whether he survives the season—or even the year.
