He doesn't have to be Italian in terms of nationality - but coaching for a long time in the Italian league would be a huge help. As MikeM said before, there is a certain way of coaching in Italy when...
Don't think I said that no other league used tactics, I just said in Serie A tactics are a hyperfocus. It isn't opinion that Serie A is more tactical than other leagues, it is fact. There are dozens...
Watch Serie A vs. other leagues and the focus on tactics is clear. Italians have been achieving more with less for decades. If we're looking for a coach that will bring structure to the team, the...
I completely agree with you. Sarri is one example of a good Italian coach. Eusebio Di Francesco is another. TFC just needs a coach from Italy who can speak English. He doesn't need to be an Antonio...
See Albania National Team example. There are many shit players in Europe, and many coaches who deal with them. These coaches didn't spring up and begin in the top flight. Look at two of the better...
Let's use the Albanian national team as an example. Our team is certainly on par with that team. First, national teams rarely train together, and Albania isn't a very deep nation in terms of talent -...
One key difference about Italian training vs. other countries (like Germany) is a lot of the training is without the ball. Arturo Vidal once said that the key difference between Italy and Germany is...
Prandelli, Montella, or Spalletti would all work. Stay away from Capello, who NYCFC is apparently talking to, which further cements that that team (NYCFC) has no idea what they are doing.
Ruud Gullit?
He's not a coach. He is a former player who managed Feyenoord for less than a year with a mediocre performance.
I stand by my argument that there have been NO real high quality...
You don't need to completely overhaul a team. Look at Napoli this year. They hired an Italian coach in Sarri to replace Rafa Benitez, a much more prestigious manager. Sarri kept the team mostly the...
My theory is that until Giovinco's press conference, the entire front office & coaching staff thought he was an attacking midfielder instead of a striker. The team's player acquisition outside the...
I said that about Giovinco as a Juve fan last winter. Money talks, and all of those guys are unemployed. Spalletti last coached in Russia (which isn't exactly a highly coveted location), Prandelli in...
Honestly, Kantari & Perquis should have been sufficient. Both have played at high level. It has got to be the midfield (no DM) and the coaching.
If it's up to me, say bye to Altidore. Use the...
Bring in a European coach. People say European coaches do badly, but IIRC the most winningest and third most winningest coaches in league history are European. Furthermore, if you look at European...
