I think it's about time to start all the speculation regarding the evergreen subject of the movement of football managers in preparation of the up coming season and can I start off with two teams that I know are dear to the hearts of a couple of Mazarrón FC supporters.
Firstly we have HULL CITY
Reports from Hull City are saying that boss Marco Silva, who almost guided the Tigers to Premier League survival, looks set to leave the KCom Stadium amid a possible move back to Portugal with FC Porto. Southampton are also said to be keen should they allow Claude Puel to leave this week.
Highly-rated Silva signed an 18-month contract with Hull in January which contained a break clause allowing him to leave should the club be relegated.
MEANWHILE OVER AT NORWICH
At Carrow Road, it is reported that Norwich City are set to name Borussia Dortmund II head coach Daniel Farke as their new boss.
Farke replaced David Wagner as the reserve team head coach at the German club when Wagner left to join Huddersfield two years ago.
Dortmund's second string lost just three of their 34 games, coming second in Regionalliga West, and that impressive record has apparently alerted the Canaries, who are seeking a full-time replacement for Alex Neil, who was sacked in March.

THE EAGLE HAS FLOWN THE NEST
WHERE NEXT FOR 'BIG SAM?'
Sam Allardyce has resigned as Crystal Palace manager five months after he joined the Premier League club.
Allardyce replaced Alan Pardew in December on a two-and-half year deal with the Eagles one point above the relegation zone.
But the 62-year-old, who had an ill-fated one-game spell as England boss, led the club to eight wins in 21 games to guide them to a 14th-place finish.

WITH A NEW OWNER IT MEANS A DEPARTURE
Garry Monk has resigned from his position as head coach of Leeds United just two days after Italian businessman Andrea Radrizzani completed his takeover of the Championship club.
The 38-year-old was appointed on a rolling one-year contract last summer and guided them to seventh in 2016-17.
Monk was expected to sign a new deal after the buyout of Massimo Cellino.
A statement said: "While we are deeply saddened by Garry's decision, there is no individual bigger than our club."
Monk won 48% of his league games in charge of Leeds - 22 of 46 played - the fifth-highest percentage in the club's history.

TWO OUT OF TWO
You heard it first here.
Marco Silva has resigned as Hull City manager after the club's relegation.
The Portuguese, 39, replaced Mike Phelan in January on a deal until the end of the season but could not save them from the drop to the Championship.
He led Hull to six wins from his 18 Premier League games, with relegation confirmed after a 4-0 defeat by Crystal Palace on 14 May.
In a statement, Hull said they were "disappointed" by the departure of a "firm fans' favourite".
The club were relegated in the penultimate week of the season and Silva said at the time: "It's my goal as a manager to work in the Premier League."
The former Sporting Lisbon and Olympiakos manager has been linked with Watford after the dismissal of Walter Mazzarri, but said recently he had not received an offer from the Hornets or any other club.

WHAT'S THAT HANGING FROM THE GALLOWS, IT'S A MONKEY SO WHERE ARE WE? HARTLEPOOL OF COURSE 🐒
Hartlepool United have appointed The New Saints boss Craig Harrison to the vacant managerial post, following their relegation to the National League.
Harrison, 39, has left the Welsh Premier League club after winning a sixth consecutive league title and winning the manager of the year award.
Gateshead-born Harrison played for Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough before injury ended his professional career.
After initially taking up a coaching role at Airbus UK Broughton, Harrison then joined TNS and began a period of dominance over his five years in charge.
In addition to winning six championships, four Welsh Cups and three League Cups, earlier this season they broke Ajax's 44-year-old world record for the longest winning streak in top-flight football with 27 victories in a row in all competitions.
He now the manager of the 'monkey hangers'

BLOODY HELL, HE DIDN'T HANG ABOUT FOR LONG
I wonder if this was already set up weeks ago?🤔🤔🤔
Watford have appointed former Hull boss Marco Silva as their new manager on a two-year contract.
Silva is the ninth Watford boss in five years and the eighth since the Italian Pozzo family took over in 2012.
The 39-year-old Portuguese replaced Mike Phelan at Hull in January but was unable to prevent relegation to the Championship and resigned on Thursday.

WILL HE OR WON'T HE?
After winning the FA cup final today Arsene Wenger has said that a decision about his future will be made on Wednesday or Thursday.
If I was him, and after all the abuse this great servant of Arsenal FC I would go out on a high, stick two finger up and go manage a middle eastern nation side for millions and watch your previous employer sign manager after manager trying and failing to replace a legend just like they did at Man U, Liverpool, Forest, Celtic etc.
Arsenal will be a championship side in 3 years if he leaves.
Or as Jodie Mitchell once sung "you don't know what you've got til it's gone"

I REFER YOU TO THIS POSTING ON 11th MAY
NEXT IN LINE TO LEAVE
Paul Lambert is reportedly on the brink of quitting Wolves over a dispute about the club's transfer policy.
The Scot is said to be close to quitting the Championship club after Jorge Mendes, who is branded as one of the game's super agents, was allegedly put in charge of player recruitment.
That is said to have disappointed Lambert, and has left him on the verge of resigning just six months after being installed Walter Zenga's successor.
THIS POT IS STILL BUBBLING
Wolves are close to sacking Paul Lambert after six months and replacing him with Nuno Espirito Santo.
Nuno left Porto a week ago and is poised to come to Molineux in a deal brokered by Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes.

GUESS WHAT
Wolves head coach Paul Lambert has left the club after seven months in charge.
The Championship club will make an announcement "in due course" on a new head coach and backroom team.
Portuguese Nuno Espirito Santo, 43, an ex-goalkeeper who has left his post at Porto, is his anticipated replacement.
As well as Lambert, 47, coaches Stuart Taylor and Rob Edwards, their former player, and another ex-player Tony Daley, fitness coach and head of sport science, are also leaving.
Lambert is the fourth of Wolves' last six first-team bosses to last less than a year at Molineux.
His role had been in doubt since the end of the Championship season over a dispute about who has the final say on signing players.
The decision was made as part of a coaching restructure by Wolves' Chinese owners Fosun following an end-of-season football review.

BUT SOMEONE WHO'S GOING NOWHERE
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has agreed a new two-year contract, extending his 21-year reign at the club.
Wenger and club owner Stan Kroenke met on Monday to determine the Frenchman's future, with the decision relayed to directors at a Tuesday board meeting.
Arsenal are planning to make an official announcement on Wednesday.
The Gunners were fifth in the Premier League this season, the first time they have finished outside the top four since the Frenchman joined in 1996.
They finished 18 points behind champions Chelsea, but beat the Blues 2-1 to win the FA Cup at Wembley on Saturday.
Wenger's contract was set to finish at the end of the current campaign.
