Usually when a new manager is introduced to a club, he or she likes to shake things up a little bit. In these five situations, though, the new manager shook things up more than anyone was expecting.
Former England and Manchester City number one and four-time Premier League Golden Glove winner Joe Hart spent most of his career as one of the most overrated players in soccer. That is, until Pep Guardiola arrived at Manchester City, observed Hart trying his best, chuckled to himself and shipped hart off to Torino on loan. When Hart returned from Torino, Guardiola sent him to West Ham, where he is currently struggling for playing time. Meanwhile, Manchester City are about to win the league and Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson has been excellent.
German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger was already slowing down a bit when he arrived at Manchester United from Bayern Munich in 2015. His career really took a nisedive, though, when Jose Mourinho replaced Louis van Gaal and promptly decided Marouane Fellaini (MAROUANE F'ING FELLAINI) was a better option to parter Paul Pogba in central midfield. Schweinsteiger now finds himself in a happier, better place, which is a weird thing to think and/or say about Chicago.
One of the first things Unai Emery, who may not be PSG mnager for much longer, did when he arrived in France was to examine frizzy-haired Brazilian center back David Luiz, shake his head sadly and send Luiz back to Chelsea and the waiting arms/woodchipper of Antonio Conte. It turns out it is very difficult to play a back four when one of your center backs thinks he's an attacking midfielder. Who knew!?
In the future people will be talking about Arda Turan's Barcelona career as much as they talk about MY Barcelona career, which is unfair because Turan actually got to be a squad regular for one season before Ernesto Valverde replaced Luis Enrique, saw Turan and was like "no, absolutely not" and my Barcelona career hasn't *technically* begun yet.
Antonio Conte probably thought baby-faced Brazilian attacker Oscar was a ballboy when he arrived at Stamford Bridge, and was therefore thrilled when he received a lucrative offer from China for the now-26-year-old. Oscar has not been seen or heard from since as far as the general soccer-following public is concerned.
