(and lord knows theres been far too many in the last 5 years) Donis - tactically not quite there. Huub - didn't really want the job once we got knocked out of CL qualifier. Anastasiadis - knows the game and the GSL but is too divisive a personality to really gel the squad (unless they're all Greek). Tudor - knows the game but thought he knew more than he did. Not flexible enough. Ivic - the best of the lot. I'm happy with Ivic also. As far as other attainable coaches go, only Xanthi's coach would be a decent move. Foreign managers I don't trust anymore, especially today why would they want to go to Greece ? Years ago maybe but not now. Ivic also understands the club and the GSL and seems to have a balanced view of winning now vs developing players. I think it would be a massive mistake to not keep him for at least 2 more years. He also gets +1 for getting rid of Tzavellas, Tziolis, Skondras. Keep in mind that the team is playing well. Sure there's been dropped points along the way (when hasn't there been) but overall the core is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokarag4 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 credit to Ivic in the 2 games where he has changed the formation, he got results. In the cup we had Leovac crossing for Kitsiou to score and today we have Matos crossing and Leovac eventually finishing off the move. The whole point of the 3-5-2 in these conditions is to get the fullbacks up the pitch and crossing the ball into the box, with the other making a late run in and supporting the attack. Ivic has done it twice now and in both games, goals have come as a result of the change in shape. Bravo Vladan! Won 8 of our last 9 in all comps with the only loss coming against Pas at toumba where the ball would not go in. Conceding only one goal in 9 games as well. In very good form 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 He's good stuff. Cleaned out the trash, has us playing well, doesn't fly off the handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Well, since Ivic got rid of Tzavellas, PAOK has played 11 games, winning 9, tying 1 and losing 2. In those 11 games PAOK defense conceded only 2 goals. Don't think we will miss him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Sounds like Liberec's coach knew our team better than we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
