  • On a more serious note I would think a managers "footballing philosophy" is not something that is gained on the job. As one of the all time greats I would think he has a very good idea of the game and how he would like it to be played. Also I would argue that by dropping too far down the ladder he would not have access to players with the technical ability to put his "philosophy" into action. Wouldn't the better route in be to work as an assistant in a quality side, like he did with Belgium?

  • Kinda agree with you, about the philosophy, but modern management is as much about getting the players to buy into what you are trying to achieve as much as coaching them, and making them better.
    If you can’t convince them that “your philosophy” will succeed why will they put in the work?
