Can't trust all the news, true, but if Brazilian media (Scolari) and an Italian paper (Prandelli) report such stuff, I don't see the merit of them making something up.
Van Marwijk's negotiation with SK broke down due to him wanting to primarily live and operate in Netherlands rather than relocating to Korea. I imagine he would be the same if JFA tries to negotiate with him. You guys do not want a man that is not committed to the job. I doubt he becomes the next coach anyway.
I don't think he'd be considered. If it were Japanese, and they didn't pick someone who couldn't at least be considered top 4 or so managers in Japan then I think there'd be a lot of pressure extra.
Apparently Glenn Hoddle (lol) said no too : http://qoly.jp/2015/02/08/glenn-hod...al-team?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
Lets hope its someone that actually will try to move Japan forward instead of just being a caretaker. From the looks of it, it seems JFA are just desperate for anyone..
The original source is the Daily Mail (aka Daily Fail), a paper that is often unreliable and always sleazy. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ddle-turns-chance-Japanese-national-team.html
It seems clear the next coach will be not a first choice (like Aguirre) not even a second choice (like Zaccheroni) and not even a third choice. Really ridiculous stuff. How can be a 4th+ choice a trusted one?
Zac was no.4-5 choice. Pretty sure there was Pekerman, Bielsa, Pellegrini, Aguirre all before Zac in 2010 when choosing. Aguirre was indeed the 1st person asked post 2014. Surely at this point, the 'prestige' behind the JNT job has fallen a fair way since when Zac was appointed. Obviously JFA aren't going to get their 1st choice regardless of the amount of money they can throw at the position.
yes, "unfortunately" Prandelli said no he himself\through his staff. I mean that there were words quoted and reported. Well at least thankfully it didn't go through I guess... now Mazzarri's name has been thrown around, this one seems a little harder to believe but either way apparently he said no too - lol. Anyway, so far I am quite disappointed. Most of these names lack interest in the job. I mean, I don't think they could do it with any passion. They can get a 10th choice for all I care but I hope it's either someone with a connection to Japan or someone who could be seriously interested in japanese football. Right, before him there were several prestigious names like Troussier... lolz
I said "since when Zac was appointed". Troussier has nothing to do with it. The JNT job, at Zac's appointment on the back of the 2010 success, was a more 'coveted' job as a team that had the talent to potentially go to deeper rounds such as QF of the FWC for the first time. Okada Japan won a lot of respect around the world for its performances in the group+R16. Now after 2014 and 2015 tournaments it's not surprising that Japan would be in the same position as far as negotiation goes as it was in 2006 where they're slowly probably regaining the unfortunate reputation of 'naive' or 'mentally vulnerable' that was there after 2006.
japan's reputation isn't an important factor in recruiting a manager. the problem is that world class european/s. american managers aren't interested in the job in asia. that's why we got useless zac after a successful world cup campaign. i would say oliveira is the best manager we can get at the moment. he is a proven manager in brazil, familiar with japanese soccer and can get results with an ugly style. when japan wins on the world stage, they always play defensive-minded soccer, not possession style. (and of course with a squad made up mostly of j-league based players, not "stars" in europe.)
Is this a joke? yosuke @maimaidenden · 3h3 hours ago According to Japanese media, Former Greece national team coach Claudio Ranieri rejected a offer from JFA. http://www.sanspo.com/soccer/news/20150207/jpn15020705060001-n4.html… Japan it's over Ranieri.
I really don't think Japan's reputation has anything to do with this either. It's a problem of interest. All of the managers who are refusing now would have very likely done the same in 2010.
Personally I'm just flabbergasted how openly this search for a manager seems to be handled, either the press is full of s*** or there are some serious leaks to be fixed within JFA. But it seems you all are familiar with this procedure already.
Vahid ?

http://www.hochi.co.jp/soccer/japan/20150210-OHT1T50113.html Oliveira is out. As expected, Japan is going to get a worse manager than Aguirre.
