A couple of articles regarding Paco, Interestingly he was the first manager to get his side, in 300 odd games to out possession Barcelona. He appears to have done amazingly well with litterally no transfer budget at all! http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features...and-should-manage-barca-one-day-probably-wont http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/mar/17/rayo-vallecano-all-or-nothing-approach-sid-lowe
Just finished reading it, and he seems like a bit of a maverick and very stubborn. He would need to be an absolute magician to average a possesion % of 60% with the likes of Mike Williamson, Gouffy and Sameobi!
Good read, i knew nothing about him. This is great 'When a French journalist pointed out that Zidane only lacked “a few details” before obtaining his licence, Jemez retorted: “If he lacks a few details that means he can’t coach”, before finishing: “Now go and tell that to Ancelotti, run along now.”'
I was interest following his latest comments in connection with him being linked to Newcastle where he said “Players, coaches and presidents come and go, what remains is the club and the fans.” “The Premier League is a nice place, where football evolves very rapidly and is a step up in economic potential.” “It’s a different mentality and culture.” “I would like to manage there someday, but I do not know when I will. I still have not have made a decision about my future.”
He has a crazy bastard with talent vibe. Get him in and his staff and then cleanse the current ****s of Carver, Stone, Woodman, etc.
Not french enough for me. I like all these frenchies, hearts like lions. As long as we don't get any more English managers, coaches or players I don't mind though. Just because the game is played in England doesn't make it the English League. I aspire to a time when aliens are playing in the PL.
My own view would be to give his brother,Paco Rabanne, a try before him; his brother's much, much more famous...
