Ep. 93: Searching for Leaders | Football After the World Cup

As one football season begins, another chapter quietly comes to an end.In this episode of My Soccer Universe Football Talk, I reflect on the passing of Franco Baresi, one of the greatest defenders and captains the game has ever seen, before looking at a football world searching for new leadership.From the chaos within the Italian Football Federation and Paolo Maldini’s brief spell as technical director, to Jürgen Klopp taking charge of Germany, Zinedine Zidane beginning a new era with France, and Gianni Infantino’s failed attempt to reshape FIFA’s control over the World Cup, football finds itself at an important crossroads.Before taking a short summer break, I wanted to step back from the weekly headlines and ask a bigger question:Who will lead football into its next era? #FootballTalk----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Use this RSS Link to never miss an episode in your favorite podcast app: https://anchor.fm/s/f9d49078/podcast/rss You can also find me on YouTube: @MySoccerUniverseFootballTalk Also, check out my main Youtube channel @MySoccerUniverse If you want to hear my takes on the Austrian Bundesliga in general, and my team LASK in particular and understand German, you can subscribe to my other podcast, too: @MeinLASKUniversum or https://anchor.fm/s/107a5b448/podcast/rss ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------⚽ Timestamps00:00 Remembering Franco Baresi05:20 Italy’s Chaotic Search for Leadership10:02 New Eras for Germany & France15:12 Infantino Finally Meets Resistance23:29 Final Thoughts & Summer Break#Football #FootballTalk #FrancoBaresi #Italy #ACMilan #PaoloMaldini #JürgenKlopp #ZinedineZidane #GianniInfantino #FIFA #Germany #France #WorldCup #Soccer #MySoccerUniverse
