Well for one, we're talking about the second stringers here. You might not have noticed, but the B team did not actually travel to Holland. As for that team, you would write off an entire program because it didn't result in star players after three seasons? What if I told you that Koulierakis played 22 games for the B team, before getting called up to the senior squad?

It's official now. Three seasons AZ: 80 goals, 27 assists and 1 time (joint) top scorer in the Eredivisie.

Jovanovich mainly plays 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1. He usually plays a possession game and tends to favor players who perform their defensive duties properly and work hard through out the 90 min. He has no problem using younger players (ex: Ioannides, Vagiannides) but he has shown a tendency to stick with certain players who may not be in form. Of course this is based on what I saw at PAO and the NT is a totally different beast. At least he won't have to worry about transfers or being screwed over by the owner and media. The main thing he brings, besides experience, is a logical thought process in the game (being able to identify and play to the strengths of the players available) as well as plain speaking, honesty, creating a tight team mentality and a refreshing dignified approach to dealing with the media. He is, imo, a very capable manager who is able of getting the most out of his players. Best of luck to him.
