(Former Trainer of the) Team of Tomorrow Tuesday: Rangers’ Fans Newest Idol
Even before I took the National Team blog over, my predecessor joined me in lamenting the fact that our youth teams were being helmed by an inept moron by the name of José Couceiro. Long story short: he hopped around a number of Portuguese Liga teams before being placed in charge of the youth National Team program back in August of 2006. After a string of disappointing results which culminated with this embarrassing display in the U20 Tournament In Canada, Couceiro was shitcanned by the FPF:
The firing chased him to the farthest reaches of the football Earth, having him land with Lithuanian champions FBK Kaunas. Today, at home, his new club came back from a goal down against Scottish powerhouse Rangers to win 2-1 and advance in the qualification stages of the UEFA Champions League tournament. In the coming weeks, they’ll face off in the Third Qualifying Round against likely opponents Aalborg BK. Rebirth much?
