What a manager!

Is it true that he was a reporter who was drafted into coaching on the basis of his astute criticism of the Selecao?

May his soul rest in peace and what a great coach... Kaii the Brazilian team of 1982 is still regarded as the best Brazilian team ever and those guys played serious ball except Paolo Rossi put and end to it... RIP...

“I have been waiting for this job for almost three years now and that was before the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I was to be the coach of the Super Eagles after the interview conducted for the job. But that time I said no, I wasn’t ready. Now that I am ready, I am not intimidated at all. I am ready for this job,” he declared matter-of-factly" http://africanfootball.mtnfootball.com/ ... m_ID=36099

He was the first real footie coach I knew of. Partly cos of him and Socrates I wished this Brazil team won the WC ahead of the 2002 team. His 86 team was jacked up and that I didn't particularly feel for.
