Monarcas/Xolos this Friday. I haven't been to a Xolos game all season. I am absolutely going to make the visit by America and hopefully at least one more.

subs to comprehensive analysis of former Mexican coaches

 

I was reading something about the Barca staffs training methodology that gave the Chivas preseason win some perspective. They altered their routines so the team reaches their physical peak much later in the season. Which is why they appeared sluggish in the beginning of La Liga. I think its a bit of a gamble by Pep but it will be interesting to see how Barca fares.

 

It's a tough juggling job, especially when trying to compete in multiple tournaments at the same time, including Champions where they had to play at a high enough level during autumn in order to qualify out of the group phase, and maybe the Copa because of the direct elimination aspect. You essentially have to rely on your overwhelming talent and comfort playing together to carry you through early on, then really be able to turn it up a notch in the spring when the competition gets tougher.

Anyway, I came to post on coaching longevity. Raul Arias is now infamous in Chivas circles for proposing to Vergara that he become the Sir Alex of Guadalajara. What made me think about this was Michael Cox's recent article on the concept of "the project" in the EPL. I think I've posted on the topic before, because I vaguely recall Guado mentioning the tenure lengths of a whole bunch of different coaches. In any case, Cox writes at the beginning of his article-

The article makes the case for how the EPL is the place to go as a coach. What I want to point out is that while the Mexican media is constantly criticizing Mexican owners for the constant coach firings (and rightfully so), this isn't just an idiosyncrasy of the Mexican league. It happens elsewhere all the time.

 

Good article although its not just the hiring and firing but the recycling "bad" coaches in the Mexican league.

This is a great excuse because the future is never reached.

 

This^^ and the recycling of bad players. It's like someone shows you a resume full of failures and you still hire that person.

 

Luckily, that doesn't happen with Cruz Azul.

I agree with both of you. The whole idea that certain promoters have a rolodex of coaches and say, "No, not you. It's his turn now" is just crazy.

 

you guys ready to watch landycakes for everton right about now? lolol
