Quinta-Feira Question Time: Who’s Next?

proximacentauri Back in Christmas of 2006, Large Philip Scolari stated to Chop rag O Record: “It is logical that at the end of Euro 2008 I leave when my contract ends. The work of a coach is limited to five or six years. We are already in this time frame but after that, things become more difficult because they create habits and links with the players, which can result in things deteriorating.” In case you don’t understand what he’s saying here, he’s basically gone after the Euro this summer. His contract expires at the end of the tournament regardless, so it would appear that Portugal will be in the market for a new boss.

For now, assume that Jose Mourinho is a man of his word and not at the point in his career where he wants to pursue managing the National Team. If Big Phil is sticking to his guns as well and actually leaving, who do you want to see on the Portuga touch line, leading the team to inevitable glory in South Africa’s 2010 World Cup?

If we can’t have Mourinho then I say we go after a Italian or German coach who can make us play like a disciplined unit. With our talent base we now need to start playing together as opposed to individually.

Klinsmen would have been nice. Maybe Lippi?

It’s gonna be a portuguese coach. Dunno who… I mean, Scolari is brasillian (which is something we can relate to, not like an italian or german), a special type of brasillian and a world champ coach.
Which is acceptable…

I’d also not be surprised to see Scolari actually stay after the Euro, if we do OK (reaching semis at least, hahahaha…), I think he’ll stay.
If we don’t survive groups, he’s off, some idiot will take the job and will be replaced when we fail to qualify for South Africa…

WE DO have very good coaches in PT, or abroad… I’d like to see Manuel José or Manuel Cajuda, but only when Scolari’s reign is over and I also wish it lasts… I think he’s the perfect man for the job… Mourinho’s time will come, but we must accept he doesn’t want to (yet…).
