National team coaches

Australia has the best coach right now.

 

How'd you manage get Guus back ???

 

Pims record so far with our NT techincally make's him better than Guus

lol

 

Like Rick Chelsea said, Australia is doing better under Pim.

 

I dont know about that. Because Pim already has a good arsenal of European based Australian players at his disposal.

If he could do that to developing Asian countries such as India, only then could we call him a good coach.

 

Different manages adapt to different circumstances. I doubt Jose Mourinho or Sir Alex Ferguson could turn India into the best Asian country in time for the 2014 WC as it takes more than coaching to do something like that.

Pim's done very good so far, has judged the young players very well too, handled himself VERY well with the media and has found some gems that we never knew we had in players like Chris Coyne, Richard Garcia and even more.

We also beat The Netherlands with Pim IN Holland(which no team has done for the last 20 years) which is something, not even the mighty Guus Hiddink could accomplish with us(We drew with them under Hiddink).

Either way, he's looking good, had his critics originally, but he's proven them all wrong.

 

Pim is good at picking up unknown names but he's a horrible tactician and motivator.

 

I guess your right about that...........

 

I don't know about anybody else... but give me the option of Guus or Pim... I know who I'd take. Winning percentages are great and all, but it's results on the big stage that count and Guus has delivered no matter the team.

 

But the debate is not who would we want, it's on who is doing the better job for us, and currently it is Pim. Yes we would love Guus back too but that isn't very feasible.

 

Best is a very subjective term I think, and by the terms I highlighted I'd stick by saying Guus was better.

 

Don't know how someone else's quote refers to me?

 

Because this whole thing kicked off with my sarcastic comment.
If my sarcastic comment had nothing to do with whatever argument you're in -- then neither did my post at the top of this page have to do with that debate.

 

Goran Paulic and Dejan Antonic are joint head coaches of Hong Kong SAR Team. The team is now preparing for the 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers that will start next January.

 

I dunno, with the depth of the Australian team and his giant knowledge of the other Asian teams, he has reshaped the Australian team quite a number of times throughout the qualifiers to take on different opponents, each time usually being very successful (the only time where he screwed up tactically was against Iraq).

In regards to being a motivator, the good thing about us is that Australians have a very sporting culture. We always want to win, no matter what and this translates to our national team. Guus, Pim and other coaches have always said, one major difference between this team and other Asian or European teams is that they never needed to motivate us, we were always self-motivated and this showed on the field and off it. We always give 100%, will gladly chase you around all day and get stuck in.

So I guess he never really needed his motivating skills with us to begin with.

 

When Terry Venables managed our NT he even described us "a bunch of very insecure people" in that we don't like being beaten or being 2nd best.

 

I am suprised China is looking at a Chinese coach especially after the Zhu but w/ limited action for the next year, it may be for a while only.

 

We nolonger have a national team, the national team will never be organised again from what i heard

 

Niwat said that their recent decision to replace Russian coach Veleriy Dvovin with former international Saysana Savatdy has not affected the team adversely.
