Football

Still unsure about the validity of coaching in Argentina, though that being said they are football made over there, and it probably comes across as little european. But hoping he gets the time and space to revitalise a Barca team thats looked out of sorts, despite winning La Liga last year.

Diego Simeone had barely managed outside of Argentina prior to taking the Atletico Madrid job. Pellegrini had barely managed outside Chile before taking over at Villarreal. Barca are more interested in continuity of thought than high profile managers. The big thing will be dealing with the press, although now Jose has left that may calm down a bit.
