WE NEED A COACH FOR THE FUTURE

There have been rumours making the rounds concerning who should be the Bianconeri’s new coach in the summer. While some of the names are potentially good for the future of the team, others are only better for the short term success.

A man like Gus Hiddink is a very accomplished coach. He has achieved a lot in his long years in football. However, aside from his successes in Holland, he has achived very little in the field of club football. His performance at Chelsea is comendable, but then again, it was for less than 6 months. He seems to be a very good candidate for emergency sitautions.

Then the issue of Rafa comes in. Rafa has won the champions league with Liverpool. He moulded the team into a title challenging team last season. These are facts. But then again, i continue to look for talents he has brought to the club that have been hits. Besides Torres and Mascherano, others like Lucas, Voronin, Degen, Babel and Dosena have been flops. Rafa has not been able to to bring young talents to Liverpool, as compared to United and Arsenal. On this front and coupled with Juve’s record of introducing youngsters to the team, Rafa is not the man for the long term future of the Old Lady.

Potentially good would be Genoa’s Gian Piero Gasperini and Fiorentina’s Cesarwe Prandelli. Not only have they proved their worth over the years, they both have a history with the Bianconeri; An issue very dear dear to the Juve hierarchy. Also, they are Italians, and also favour quality Italian talent over expensive South American names. Juventus has for a long produced a large number of Italy’s players, and the board will definitely be glad.

Though i was not happy with the dismissal of Cirro, i believe care should taken not to force things through. We need a coach who will utilize Giovinco and De Ceglie to their best ability.
