There's usually a backstory to any interesting story :-) (As in the case of Argentina, where Maradona was not giving a fake German accent but imitating former president Kirchner when he was threatening Clarin) If you come in and take on the biggest tabloid in the land, you'd better have arranged your weapons :-) This is similar to Bild in Germany, not only with the NT but also with Bayern. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

It never works the 2nd time round, look at CAP and Lippi. Tabarez doesn't count because Urguay didn't win the WC during his first stint. Bad idea IMO. Even Leonardo is a better choice. -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml

It never works > the 2nd time round, look at CAP and Lippi. Hm. And Parreira (2006), Zagallo (1998), Feola (1966). (Not counting Zagallo in 1974 because he wasn't recalled to coach the NT again, just stayed as coach after 1970. But yeah, that was a loss too). History certainly doesn't make giving a coach a second run look a smart choice. However, shouldn't we go with the best available name, regardless? Not that I see Scolari as some kind of savior, or miracle worker. It's quite the opposite, actually. > Tabarez doesn't count because Urguay didn't win the WC during his first > stint. Bad idea IMO. Even Leonardo is a better choice. I don't know. Coming to think of it, Brazil's pool of coaches is fairly lean. Abra�o, Luiz Mello

CAP = Carlos Alberto Parreira. > History certainly doesn't make giving a coach a second run look a smart > choice. > > However, shouldn't we go with the best available name, regardless?

Dunga was a brave choice and despite the meltdown against the Dutch I thought he did very well and I greatly admired the ruthless, machine like efficiency of his team although I appear to be in the minority. Scolari has been awful since the World Cup, like CAP before him. They peaked. > I don't know. Coming to think of it, Brazil's pool of coaches is fairly > lean. What about Lourenco or Zico? -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml |
