For future use. I didn't want to create another thread with thw poll in the future. Honestly, treat it like a presidential approval rate.
Some interesting reactions to this hire from reddit: "As olympiacos’ fan, he is not good. Team was playing from the wings and with a lot of long balls, most of the chances were created by free kicks, and we didn’t create a lot of anyway. Of course we didn’t have a great roster, but still the team did not show any good signs. Defensively we were slow, we were doing a lot of mistakes and the opponent scored a lot from long balls, even if we had tall defenders. Only good thing he did it was that he gave a lot of chances to the young players, I don’t know how helpful can that be in a national team. Maybe if he will be evolved in academies and stuff, the future of your national team can be good, but I can’t see current national team doing better than the last few years." "He did a great Euro 2012, though. We only lost in the semis on pens against Spain. Tactically he is above average, but his posture/demeanour tends to ignite some locker room conflicts. Every player who doesn't fit his idea of professionalism will have problems and he will always go for a "role model" athlete, even if he is a worse footballer than the star of the team. He is the kind of guy who would even bench Maradona just to play some nobody, to teach the Argentinian a lesson." "Portugal have the best University in terms of (Football managers coachs). And he was one of the best in this course... Yes we have great managers right now, but he's not one of the best Portuguese managers. It's a very high risk bet on him. But we never know, different perspectives can work. But ********, Paulo Bento... ...Fail in all last jobs, was mediocre/average in National Portuguese team, fail in Cruzeiro (Brazil), fail in Olympiacos and fail in Chongqing... ..for me, right now he give a bad name to Portuguese managers." "You guys could get plenty good portuguese managers, although not so well known, but you go for this guy :/ A very mediocre coach, but hope he does well for you!" "what kind of director is he?(tactics?) Boring how do you think about him? Boring"
So who is going to replace Bento when we fire him in 3.5 years and replace him with the Olympic team manager?
A well done poster I'd have to say, only thing that pisses me off about it is that Kim Shin-wook is in it instead of Cho Hyun-woo and Kim Young-gwon.
"이 분들이 인상 깊었던 게 있다. 파주(파주 국가대표트레이닝센터)에 자기들 사무실을 만들어줄 수 있냐고 하더라. 왜냐고 물었더니 매일 일해야 한다고 했다. 그리고 분명 말했다. U-17, 19, 21 중 올라올 선수들이 있기 때문에 그 경기도 봐야 하고 훈련도 봐야 한다고." This is the quote from Kim Pan-gon regarding Bento and his coaching staff wanting an office at the Paju NFC. As stated above, they want an office not only to be working everyday, but they want to further analyze our young talents from U-17, U-19, U-21 teams, see how they play and train as well as the tactics applied by the respective managers. Now, Bento does have an eye for young talents, so he seems very eager to working on it immediately, so we'll likely see Lee Kang-in, Baek Seung-ho very soon/ Where the hell was this from Stielike when his "other" objective was to instill good vision towards our young talent? Oh, wait that's right, he wasted time and money on going to seminars and charities to give his useless 2 cents smh.
lol, Bento took a huge jab at Shin Tae-yong, saying he switches tactics and rotates the squad way too often, and says that you cannot be changing/switching the frame of your team.
Kudos to Kim Pan Gon for trying tho. Has there ever been a technical director who was 1. able to speak with the candidates in English and 2. had the balls to reach out for big names? I am pretty sure he will continue to do his job with professionalism, which means that Bento will know that he has to deliver. At the same time, he'll get the right support from KPG.
