I think Wolf’s football is more pure than Tedesco. Tedesco’s Schalke could play many styles and systems and played some good football but what was always there was an ability to, if needed, play more direct long-ball and sometimes they relied upon it. They didn’t always need to try to play through teams.
With Wolf, his teams have always kept a pureness about their play. Even when he changed Stuttgart from an attacking, control the match team that won promotion to a defensive counter-attacking team in the Bundesliga, they still tried to play good football through their wingers. Then he went to Hamburg and played a style that would make even Guardiola say, “you’re passing the ball too much”.
Anyway, I’m not sure if you’ll be able to entice Tedesco to the club anyway. Champions League to Championship is a big drop down. We were linked with Labaddia in the summer and spoke formally with him twice before we went with Slaven Bilic so he is open to the Championship and Wolf was linked with Leeds before Bielsa came along so those two are probably the most realistic options if you want to continue with the German approach.
