I beg to differ here, those countries you mentioned are not
so-called powerhouses in world soccer, so they needed foreign
expertise to guide them, while for the big guns like brazil,
argentina, italy, france, germany and even england, they should opt
for local manager to guide them. One good reason is that why should
they need foreign expertise since they already have a style of
playing which is there for decades and will not change
overnight....it will be a laughing stock to ask a italian to coach
brazil, will the brazilians change their style, nope
rite....somemore the italians are so defensive-minded, it sure will
do more damage than help. So same thing here, will england change,
i dont think so.
Haha, Sven Goran i would say was a flop during his tenure as
england manager. Well, frankly speaking bringing england to the
major tournaments is a must and its a formalilty, there is nothing
to shout about, furthermore i would say any manager from england
can do that. So, i dont understand what has he achieved for
england. Maybe you would argue, reaching the quarterfinals of
WC2002, EURO 2004 and WC2006? Well, were they considered big
achievements, i doubt so....apart from beating argentina in WC2002,
i am sorry to say they always flopped at the biggest stage.
Bobby Robson did good with england, bringing the best out of
Linekar, Waddle, Beardsley and Gascoigne during WCItalia90, when
they reached the semis. Same goes to Terry Venables, both managers
came so close to reaching the finals, but unfortunately both times
they were foiled by Germany, their bitter rivals on penalties. So,
think again.....if england wanna win another major tournament, they
should go for local manager, though mourinho would be exciting
manager, capello is such a master tactician, well i doubt they can
change england style of playing overnight. If i were the FA, i
would push hard for Sam Allardyce or Harry Redknapp.
