Noticed someone mentioned him on another forum about his as our next manager and thought I would check him out as I had never heard of him. Stojkovic was a midfield player and noted as one of the best players to have ever played for Red Star Belgrade and Yugoslavia as well as playing for Marseille. Currently managing Japanese side Nagoya Grampus and I have taken this off wiki... On November 20, 2010, Stojković led Grampus to the J. League title, the club's very first. Stojković has stated that he had learnt a lot about football from former manager Arsène Wenger, who had led the club to their previous best showing in 1995 when they finished runners-up and Emperor's Cup champions, and had kept regular contact with him, with Wenger giving him advice and congratulating him on the club's success. Stojkovic has been named by Wenger as the person he would like to take over Arsenal when he has gone.[11] Arsène Wenger also mentioned that he would love Stojković to be his successor at Arsenal, stating "Our ideas are the same and we both strive for perfect football," [12] After the successful 2010 season, Stojković was awarded the J. League Manager of the Year. Should we take a bit of a gamble and go for someone like this? He must be a canny manager and his tactics and ideas must be top notch if Wenger has said that about him. He would draw the crowds in if his teams play football the same way as Arsenal and with his reputation in eastern europe maybe we could stretch our horizon's when it comes to transfer targets.
There is a massive feature on him in this month's 442. He's an absolute legend in Japan, and some say his pal Wenger is lining him up as the next Arsenal manager. he would be a fantastic signing, he's one of the most promising managers in world football. (Hope yous don't get him! )
^Just read the article properly and saw I basically repeated most of it Still though, he is a bit like Villas Boas, he would be great for you.
