Couldn't think in which forum branch to put this as there are no ''general football'' thing here, but hear me out.
I've watched football from mid 90s (for the record) and it always seems that same coaches apply mostly same tactics through out their career.
There have been much grounded criticism on Lucho about his inability to turn around the play, and steer it into another direction recently (i mostly lurk here).
The thing is, i don't remember any coach/manager (or what's the right term now), who changed his tactics according to team/players they have.
Skepticism against Lucho is grounded as i don't like recent Barca's play as most of you, but don't you think there's some sort of determinism at play?
Look at Pep at Bayern and City. He does his thing and that's all. Either player's adapt or not. The same with Mourinho, who has made MU into wannabe Chelsea. More obscure example, Montella, who coached Fiorentina for x years, trying to teach them tiki-taka and now he tries the same with Milan, who imo has even worse roster, especially for that style, then his former team. Van Gaal..
etc.etc.
Can you bros, single out some major team managers that have both adapted to their team's players and changed style of play accordingly. Even better if you can provide an example of boss, who can change tactics and the whole flow of play on the fly during matches seamlessly.
That's a genuine inquiry lest you think i want to apologize someone.
