Probably been posted, sorry if it has. Nolberto Solano seems to be the new first team coach of Newcastle Benfield, but will also still play for Hartlepool. -- Hartlepool's Nolberto Solano takes Newcastle Benfield coach role Hartlepool winger Nolberto Solano will take up a new coaching role at Newcastle Benfield but remain registered as a player at Pools. Solano will work with the Northern League side as a first-team coach, while continuing his studies for Uefa A and B licences. The 37-year-old, who won 95 caps for Peru and has made 466 league and cup appearances, joined Pools last May. His last Pools appearance came in January's 2-1 home loss by Scunthorpe. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16856443
Great to see he's staying in the region and it must be a great boost for the Benfield lads, they'll be looking forward to training from now on. Interesting dual role thing though, in theory if the two sides met in competitive play, where would he stand? Would he be 'cup tied' somehow?
Apparently he is REALLY lazy now, turns up to training at Hartlepool when he wants and leaves early a lot of the time too...again when he wants. I don't think that they will keep him beyond this season if I'm honest. It's a shame because if he put the hard work in you would easily see Hartlepool jumping up the table.
I find that surprising, especially considering the fact he wants to get into coaching. He's always been a hard worker and humble too, I understand him maybe being a bit more laid back due to his age but I wouldn't like to think he's being disrespectful to the club due to their (no offence) stature.
I saw Hartlepool train a few months back and Nobby came out last and signed autographs, got pics with the kids. Even gave my mates kid his lucozade sports lol
