I'd say Troussier gets some credit for the 2002 team but a return wouldn't be welcomed. It's not like he's been in high demand over the past decade... Lippi is too expensive and isn't really a forward-looking choice. Does Baggio have managerial experience or even interest in managing? Also his membership in the pyramid scheme political racket religious sect Soka Gakkai brings way too much baggage to the table.
Man, not this again please... we already discussed that in another topic, and you already know that Wigan collapsed by itself and he was quickly sacked the next season. Ficcadenti saved Cesena which in 2010-2011, that alone was a much better\harder achievement. Not sure about proposing him as NT coach based on that single achievement in his career though, right ? @teioh : that means... ?
Offensive style football, not very good to manage younsters but still successful overall. Was he a good manager in his Jleague times? Something really amazing or an average?
various tests going on, and tomorrow there will be a decisive 11 v 11 match it seems. i'll report the lineups when they come out... Shiotani was tested as SB too

First half ended without goals and in the second half with all the players changed Kawamata and Minamino scored. Formations: 1st half: Code: Toyoda Saito Takahagi Kudo Aoyama Hasegawa Yasuda Yamashita Shoji Imai Gonda 2nd half: Code: Kawamata Minamino Haraguchi Ishihara Shibasaki Takahashi Makino Mizumoto Suzuki Shiotani Higashiguchi
stay classy manabu surprised Yamashita didn't go for a header at 0.41 but maybe the camera is playing tricks about where the ball was
Lippi stated that Guangzhou is going to be his last club, I believe. Regarding Baggio, he recently graduated from the Italian federation's coaching classes, so I guess he must have some interest in coaching, although afaik he doesn't have any experience so far.
Number interviewed Ibrahimovic. How will Japan produce a world-class striker? Zlatan: It is true that Japan is known for its attacking midfielders rather than strikers. Nakata, Nakamura, Kagawa. Honda now plays for Milan, my former club. It may be the case that these #10s accentuate the impression that Japan has no strong strikers - indeed, they are terrific players. However, there is no need to be concerned as it's all about timing - sometimes no strikers come out of the system for a while, even with strong emphasis on developing them. In time there should be scores of great strikers coming out of Japan."
