He was originally linked to the Iraq and Cameroon job, but it seems like the Philippines was far more enticing, after all they have their star GK Neil Etheridge as well(Although he withdrew from taking part in the tournament).

 

Yeah, it's quite surprising that there are not only more foreign managers this time around, but there's a handful of notable ones as well: Zaccheroni, Lippi, CQ, Cuper, Bento, Pizzi, Rajevac, Verbeek, Sven-Goran Eriksson.

 

대표팀 관계자는 3일(한국시간) "전날 오후 대표팀 숙소에서 코칭스태프와 선수들을 대상으로 'AFC 미팅'이 진행됐다"라며 "AFC 심판 강사가 이번 아시안컵의 판정 기준에 대한 설명회가 열렸다"고 말했다.

AFC는 이번 대회에 참가하는 24개국을 대상으로 현지에 도착한 팀들을 직접 찾아가 판정 기준은 물론 마케팅과 관련해 선수들이 조심해야 할 점 등을 설명하는 미팅을 열고 있다.

이번 미팅에서 AFC 심판 강사는 심판의 눈을 속이는 '시뮬레이션 반칙'(일명 할리우드 액션)을 엄격하게 잡아내겠다는 점을 강조했다. 시뮬레이션 반칙으로 경고를 받는 선수에게는 벌금도 1천달러(약 113만원)가 부과된다.

Apparently, players will not only receive a yellow card for simulation plays, but will also have to cough up $1k in fine.

 

No, he will not get sacked, that'd be stupid. If the German fraud was able to get numerous chances/lifelines even when failing miserably, I don't see why Bento shouldn't get the same treatment. If anything, it's too quick and too soon to be calling for his head, especially right after the Asian Cup.
