NT Coaches

[J1078]

Guys they need a no bullshit hard nose coach that's not going to take bull s%$#! from the players or the EPO, a guy thats going to preach dicipline, respect, and team work. no prima donna sensitive bitches on this team. we need a coach that would kick the s%$#! out of his players if they pulled a stunt like they did at the world cup where 2 of our players fought. i dont want a nice soft spoken players coach because our c*** players will take advantage of him. even when the Santos era was coming to a close santos himself said the players were selfish. we need a real coach that does things his way and only his way. im very interested to see who the EPO decides to bring in since they promised they would have a coach by october.

I remember reading somewhere that Magath has made players break down and cry.  I think we should hire him on that alone.

[georgelaz]

Magath creeps me out.

 

We need someone who understands both Greek & World football - much like Santos.

Honestly, I think Tziolis gets a lot of criticism he doesn't deserve ::ducks head as tantra tries for a hook::

 

The guy is who he is.  It's not like we don't know his capabilities.  What's surprising is that he gets selected.  I can understand selecting him against minnows where you expect 70% possession, but in any other game where you need your DM to be running all over the place, he's not your man.  Sideways passes ?  That's what he does.  He's not the type to look for a through ball, or run with the ball into space.

 

If he had a lousy attitude like Katsouranis, then yeah, give it to him.  But he's not a kolopetho.  As to how he gets selected, I can't tell anymore.  I lost my crystal ball just before the GFC.

[La Mendel]

Allegedly Bernd Schuster is one of the candidates.

I wouldnt mind a German head coach, he would instill perhaps a little discipline and organization into the team.

[Bananas]

i think he had a good world cup2010 nice passes and a few nice shots ...but we are late 2015 now and he is done

 

 

the people that select him should be shot

 

Look at the positive.  At least you have a target to vent at. :)

Coaches like Magath and Greek players don't work well together. Him being that disciplined, strict and almost hard headed, he wont last half a qualifying campaign before having a falling out with the kafenio lads. That being said,I'm sure some thought the same of Otto when he first came in but who knows. If the players are willing to listen and obey 110% it could work, but I wouldn't go there if I was in charge

Well, Otto booted Georgatos who at the time was probably our highest profile player overseas.  And Zikos too I think ? 

[GreekLunatic]

mcgath wasnt he the manager when fulham gor relegated and also he comes its the end of mitroglous greece  career. Why dont me go for someone like hitfileld or bielsa

[Nikitas]

epo also busy with bielsa and giannakopoulos could take over the job that karagounis had.

Guss Hiddink only recently stepped down as coach of the Netherlands but is 68 which might be too old???

[pash]

Magath would make us even more of a laughingstock than we currently are. There is a reason he can't find work anymore.

 

And even if you go for his "physically fit" mantra - where would this fit with his work as a national team coach? He'll have a week at a time, at most, to work with these guys. Unless there are fundamental changes in how often our NT meets, his one "advantage" is going to be kneecapped right off the bat.

Looks like it is Felix Magat

Agree 100%. I just got a feeling, this is going from bad to worse.

[val]

I can't say if magath can take us to greener pastures. He is a fitness freak, so expect him to rid of all the drop kicks unless they shape up. Mitroglou found that out personally.

 

As for bielsa, he knows his stuff but he is a nutter. It will be a shock to the system for most of the squad. Anyway i don't think he can play his brand of football with this lot.

 

My advise would be to go with someone that appreciates defensive minded/ reactive football but is also flexible. Offcourse you are thinking we had santos, but we need better as that guy can't set up a side to attack to save his life. Just consider his current portugal side.

[pash]

I absolutely can't believe this. What an atrocious choice. Terrified for what this means for the team.

 

(prove me wrong, Felix)

[pash]

Klopp's the hottest property out there right now. He'll have his pick of a great many lucrative and high-profile jobs; there's no way a young and already-beloved coach would settle for coaching a handful of games per year.

[Brklyngrk]

Wasn't crazy about him but he has produced some results.  We do need a no nonsense coach. see what happens....

[paoboston]

I'd rather they hire Alefantos that these guys. Alefantos will be way cheaper and he will also provide some comedic one liners to make us laugh. (sigh)

[Bananas]

A while back, just for a joke, I suggested Anastasiadis with Alefantos as his assistant.  I think I'd prefer that to Magath.  I am really apprehensive about this.  Is it a done deal ?

[val]

This guy :D

[J1078]

Did they officially hire someone?

[ausgreek]

The German coach will fund himself, as the EPO have pocketed what would be for him, and go to Salamina or London for their summer break. Lets hope they pick a German coach.

[Chris Tsamados]

Felix Magath, wtf?

 

This was the same manager who refused point blank to play Mitroglou when he was at Fulham.

 

Whats he going to do now he's our Manager refuse to play any Greek players?
