Coehlo resigns !!

sorry but i wont believe it until i see some more evidence.

even if he resigns, i'd like him to take the team through the asian cup.

Good, Bye-Bye Coelho, I won't miss you. Someone should send the poor guy some rotten tomatoes for goodbye present...

NOW, KFA BETTER HIRE SOMEONE WHO COULD ACTUALLY "BEAT" MALDIVES...

 

Coelho isn't tactically naive.... the problem is the post-WC princess players.

Put the Sangmu gaffer into the national team, and they'll be back to winning ways.

 

Absolutely!

As much as I hate Coelho's tactics where he never tries to introduce new blood and uses the same players all the time, thereby failing to create a sense of rivalry between the players and making them unmotivated, the blame should be put on the players first and foremost.

After the success of the WC, the players became too arrogant. They think they can beat the minnow teams by just walking around in the park.

 

im hearing rumors that "kim ho" will take over until the asian cup..

i dont think this is a smart move by kfa..

i have respect for kim ho and what he had done in the past but we need to realize that hes a coach that got fired from a damn "k-league"

and i really think that none of the korean coaches have as much knowledge and experiences about the modern soccer as euro coaches..

of course he had his good ol' days, but y are we hiring a coach thats going downhill recently even if hes gonna be temporary?

especially when are NT is ALSO going downhill recently??

plus, its too damn late for a new coach to take over and participate in the asian cup thats only like 2 and a half month from now..

but if its true that coelho is gone, then korea is in deep ass truoble for the asian cup..

 

He retired as Suwon boss, he didn't get fired.

 

the suwon board pressured him to step down because of cha bum keun..

so i guess its not really fired but u cant really say retire..

plus, suwon played pretty poor for the last couple seasons with him..

his only accomplishment after 2000 was when they won the FA cup 2 years ago i believe..

 

Simple way to describe Coehlo.

Good tactician, terrible leader. End of story. Korean players, unlike their western counter parts have always lived in a strict dictatorship environment and for them to train with someone as easy going as Coehlo obviously has softened up their disposition and their trademark Korean resilience.

 

I don't know, they've finished in third place for three consecutive seasons (2003, 2002, 2001), and they never finished below fifth place with him in charge.

And his trophy success after 2000?

2001:
Asian Club Cup winners (1-0 v Jubilo Iwata)
Asian Super Cup winners (4-3 v Al Shabab)

2002:
Asian Club Cup winners (4-2 on pens v Anyang after 0-0 draw)
Asian Super Cup winners (4-2 on pens v Al Hilal after 1-1 draw)
FA Cup winners (1-0 v Pohang)

In fact, Kim Ho won some sort of silverware in every season as Suwon boss except his 1997 and 2003.

 

There was no pressure. He retired with 6 Asian Trophies and 3 K-League titles the past 9 years. He single handedly raised players like Denis Laktinov and Ko Jong-su.

He is the best soccer manager this country has to offer.

Don't be so hasty with your words.

 

Coelho. Good guy. I'm a bit bitter. But there are better people out there who would suit the Korea job better.

I personally want the ex-Senagalese boss Bruno Metsu?

Anyway. Good bye, Coelho. Sorry you had to work with crap players and an uncooperative FA. We still love you.

 

hey, nothing to lose right now as this point. He can't do any worse than COelho was doing. Let's see what he can do for awhile and then decide, hey who knows, he might be a sleeper....If he does well, then he stays, if he doesn't, then hire someone else. Nothing to lose at this point.

 

yea now that i think about it after reading some of the posts that u guys posted, u guys are actually right..

maybe i was underestimating kim ho a lil..

and once again, i really do have respect for him and think that he is one of the best "korean coaches" despite the fact that the level of korean coaches are nowhere near the european ones..

but i still think the fact that he will only be temporary is pretty damn shady..

 

Of course I want Hiddink to be re-appointed but if that doesn't happen...

My wishlist of managers:

1. Aimes Jacquet: This man needs to get back on the coaching horse. He's been resting on his laurels much too long.

2. Carlos Bianchi: Boca-man would be the type of leader that would be compatible with our subservient players.

3. Johan Cruyff: The original practitioner and near-father of Dutch total football. 10 men attack and 10 men defend.

4. Jose Antonio Camacho: May be too bitter about the tragedy and travesty Spain was given by the horrific officiating against our squad in the WC, but he should let bygones be bygones and coach our national team.

5. Ronald Koeman: Has done wonders for Ajax.

And the most unrealistic wish of mine:

Arsene Wenger: Stern, cold, dictator, blood-thirsty for victories, anal retentive about every aspect of player management, and a damn near scientist when it comes to nutrition and training.

 

u got a good list there..

but remember we offered jacquet twice before and after the 2002 world cup? he rejected us both times..

and i dunno about cruyff..

cuz he doesnt really have the experience as a coach..

and not all. but a lot of awesome players in the past tend to be a bad coach in the future..

 

True, but I may be misinformed but I think in club management, Cruyff did a good job with Barca. I don't know this for sure, so maybe someone who knows more about Cruyff could clarify.

And yes, it sucked that Jacquet said non to KFA's requests.

 

lol actually, i got confused between cruyff and van basten..

cruyff has SOME experiences, not a lot.

but if im not mistaken, he did a pretty good job..

and its van basten that does not have any experience at professoinal coaching..

 

I dont think it really matters who becomes our new headcoach.
the causes that give Coehlo trouble, still persist.

lack of players due to club's schedules and WHININGS.
lack of practice time with players (usually Coehlo got 48hrs to prepare a match with players)
lack of support from KFA and too much regulations.
under this circumstances... I dont think it matters who becomes new head coach

Looks like Bruno Metsu is the favourite candidate to become the head coach of the Korean NT according to an official from KFA.

For anyone who's not familiar with his name, he led the Senegal NT to the quarterfinals in the 2002 WC and also guided Al-Ain, the UAE club, to the winner of AFC Champions league the following year. He's now out of contract with Al-Ain after signing a temporary 10-month contract.

 

I remember him, he did a heck of a job with a newbie WC team in Senegal...I still laugh everytime Senegal beat France...but of course there was no Zidane and Pires but it's still funny...

 

Did someone here say that Cruyff has only "Some" experience? The man managed one of the most difficult clubs to manage from 1988 until 1995 and this is only "some" experience? He was even slated to take over Holland for USA'94 but didn't for personal reasons. The man is more than experienced. Some will say that club football and international football are different, but this man was a genius. He had tactics that made Barca what Barca became in that period. He was one of Barca's greatest coaches if I dare not say the greatest. You don't get that title with merely "some" experience. Prior to Barcelona, he was at Ajax leading them to European glory in the 1987 Cup Winners' Cup. Trust me, he's got a lot of experience.

 

we didn't do that bad in 94, if i'm not mistaken, we were actually pretty close to making to next round in 94...So why not give him a shot?

I still prefer Metsu though, since he has taken a squad pretty far...

Wenger is a decent option imo, but i still would go with Metsu.
