Cruyff is a quiet man, not to pass unnoticed. Both a player and a technical, Flaco
never left the public indifferent. On the field he was a genius, but then extrapolated this wisdom to the bench to score a season with FC Barcelona. In its day, named by the FIFA
as World Player of the Century , said: "
all coaches talk about moving on to run a lot. I say no need to rush so much. Football is a game played with the brain. You have to be in the right place at the right time, neither too early nor too late . " However, gifted students, those who achieved glory at Wembley
, they want everything now apply Johan taught in their day and try to make a time as did the
Dream Team .
The first of the heroes of the win against Sampdoria in embarking on the bench was Ronald Koeman. He, who led all flashes
by her violent free-kick which saw the victory, he launched into the adventure of the bench in 2000. Indeed, 74 international caps for Holland began his coaching experience in the Vitesse the same club that has now required the services of Ferrer. In the 2000/2001 season, Koeman guided the east of the country club to sixth place.
Given that the best position of Vitesse in its history has been the third in 1998, it is certain that the baptism of Ronald in the band was described as remarkably high. After a decade in the profession, Koeman has three league championships (two with PSV and one with Ajax), butler and two tournaments (the first to Amsterdam and finally to Valencia). In fact, it was in the city of Turia where the front of the Sampdoria striker began to dig his own grave. Ché clashes with costumes, bravado press conferences and a superiority complex that served to hang the poster of unfriendly, not to mention their poor technical approaches. Nevertheless,
could get even winning the Copa del Rey against Getafe a 3-1 Santi Cañizares, Angulo and Albelda were set aside by decision of the Dutch.
After this adventure, he failed to capitalize on the champion of the Eredivisie
, an AZ that made him champion Van Gaal and Koeman as spoiled. He is currently unemployed, and two weeks ago rejected a call from Middlesbrough (from
Championship ) because there was a club level, although they had time to establish itself as a possible substitute Fabio Capello ahead of the national team.
With better luck, but with fewer titles, Michael Laudrup was the second to get down to work on the task of training. He began his teaching in Brondby, the club he debuted as a player. Nothing like starting at home. In the 2002/2003 season, one of the best assistants in the past 20 years, won the Super Cup Danish and Danish, but also got an honorable second place in the domestic championship with the colors that were born there in 1982. After four seasons with the Danes, and a sabbatical, Getafe gave him the chance to debut in a major league in Europe. Discreet campaign in Spain, but he used to be responsible for Spartak Moscow in one of the world's most emergent Old
. This summer, from Mallorca used their services to make lace with a square with empty pockets. After eight days, the role of Laudrup is being more than worthy and survive in the middle of the table with no trouble. Michael has a chance to do great things in the dugout, as he made a pitch that was his to give master classes of passes, symptoms and attendance impossible.
2004 was the most prolific year for
Dream Team
in her jump to a coaching career. Two headlines
reached Wembley debut in his new profession. Jose Mari Baker, the hero of Kaiserslautern, he was called urgently by the Malaga B to save it in the adventure of the subsidiary in the Second Division. Replaced in late January and saved Antonio Tapia Andalusians. It cost him his first win four games, but was finally able to celebrate his baptism as a coach with the satisfaction of having achieved the goal. But Baker's career took a change of direction when in the summer of 2005 became Technical Director of the Royal Society. He left the bench for the offices and had a mission to set template San Sebastian. The poor results this season forced him to change the box to the smell of grass. Firefighting again, and again managed to save the wounded. For this inertia, the Real coach left him for the next year, but was eventually stopped. After scoring two more notches on his resume: coach Ronald Koeman at Valencia (Copa del Rey fights and through) and exit to the outside with the exoticism of Poland. Polonia Warsaw was his place of residence for nearly a year, from November 2009 to September 2010, but a poor relationship with club president gave to the breakup of his contract by mutual agreement.
few months after Jose Mari Bakero take the reins of Malaga B, the controversial Hristo Stoichkov, Bulgaria idol and god, was recruited to be the coach of his country. After leading his national team to the highest ranking in the World Cup (fourth in '94
USA), Stoichkov became the head of a nation only a year after hanging up his boots. But his accuracy with his left foot and a blistering pace were not extrapolated to the bench. Bulgaria failed to qualify for the World Cup in 2006 and left half his assault on Euro 2008 by the intrusion of Celta Vigo. Hristo
entered the club scene in a desperate attempt to save the situation from a Celtic water-neck. He took his property Claw the Galician derby win against Deportivo in their first match on the bench Vigo, but after that promising start was showing his shortcomings as a coach. In the absence of 15 minutes for the conclusion of the League had saved the sky, but eventually fell to the second well. And silver in the category of problems multiplied: with the directive, the stands, the press and, even, with the template. It ceased to function, but he claimed personal reasons for that experience does not remain as a termination on your resume. As always, Hristo left no one indifferent.
Since 2008 you have to score two more experiences in its roadmap. The first was a dead letter. Undertook FC Aboomoslen with Iran, but the country's situation when he pulled back had to sign. Where it does not dare to go was to South Africa. A year ahead of the Mamelodi Sundows, with whom went unnoticed. But to be unemployed, Stoichkov not know keep quiet, and on Tuesday lashed out at his countrymen by making clear that "those who play
now Bulgaria has not even deserved to 
ar our bags." The difference between making the remarks in his playing days and make them now is that previously had a fine and the next Sunday was on the pitch, but now, every word higher the previous pedigree will take more to his poor standing in the dugout.
the contrary would say when talking about Eusebio Sacristan. Quiet, humble and a hard worker in the field, La Seca (Valladolid), had a beginning in the direction from the band of the most complicated. He picked up the hot potato of having to save Celta Vigo's relegation to the Second Division B. After a poor start to his former teammate Hristo Stoichkov, Pepe Murcia took control of Galicia, but the new manager not materialized and in March Eusebio had before it a hard and complicated affair. His only experience dating back to the period between 2003 and 2008, where he was the right hand Frank Rijkaard, another player and coach who grew up with the figure of Johan Cruyff as a reference. The Valladolid managed to avoid falling to a historic Second B and relied on him to be the visible head of a project that had the word rise between the eyes.
But Eusebio spent another irregular season, although with two games saved the Vigo. Last summer, Eusebio and Celta directive did not reach an agreement to renew his contract and parted ways. Along with Koeman, Stoichkov Bakero and the exmediocentro is the fourth of seven coaches emerged from
Dream Team to swell the list of unemployed technicians.
The penultimate notch school that emerged from that Wembley final
represents Josep Guardiola, which in turn is the winner with just over three years as coach travel. A debut year in the reserves Barca, in which there was no way to climb (as they did), let him go straight from playing in fields III to be the image of the new club. His first decisions were controversial, as it took the team to Deco and Ronaldinho, but these two samples of authority gave the keys to what was going to be a coach that calculates all the millimeter. His baptism in the Nou Camp could not be better to achieve the desired treble (League, Cup and Champions), the Supercopa of Spain the European and World Club Cup Club were responsible for leaving in 2009 to the memory of world football. Among his mentors
header is above the rest Johan Cruyff, although Santpedor (Barcelona) also took good notes of Juan Manuel Lillo, who in 2005 was the year of retirement in Mexico Dorados de Sinaloa. With less than four years on the market in Manchester already designated as the ideal replacement for Sir Alex Ferguson and
f ondo is a dizzying range of CSKA Moscow. Pep out of contract this year and see if it continues in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bor prefer to start a new change of direction.
With all these precedents, in which three of his former teammate have been champions league (Koeman, Laudrup and Guardiola), is now
Chapi Ferrer (pictured, on the day of presentation) who embarks on this adventure. Two years ago, Ferrer stated their intentions to keep pace with the Fifth
Wembley. "
I'd love to start my coaching career in England. The lifestyle and the type of football are some advantages . " The truth is that Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhich this summer has turned 40, will take his squad the Netherlands Vitesse debut, coincidentally the same one that started the adventure on the bench by Ronald Koeman. In its presentation as new coach of Vitesse, said Ferrer that "
I support the philosophy of Johan Cruyff and Louis van Gaal to apply good football players that can also be aggressive without the ball ." Not yet know the dimensions that can reach right exlateral Barca and the English team, but Cruyff in your prayers, Ferrer has a year and a half ahead in Holland to save Vitesse first, and then start implementing other seed soccer dream that I caught the
Flaco.
Building on the penultimate
At 36, five championships in your country, three titles and after being top scorer 22 times for your selection, it is normal retirement at the club in your town is pleasant and quiet. But the case is different from Tomasz Frankowski. Born in Bialystok, grew up in the Jagiellonian Club the city, but was soon recruited by the RC Strasbourg timber having good striker. 
och 
other hand, I have a section to reflect on the message of Christmas. It's very flattering text messages I receive on my phone, or e-mail, but I see the same problem: total absence of Nativitas. There are any number of messages, some very nice, but none speaks of Jesus' birth. That reminds me of the decrees that take some rulers, which prevent the use of images or thoughts of politicians who are afraid for their popularity. Wow, it's as if it had issued a decree banning the use of the name of Jesus at Christmas, and I say, Satan, nothing amazes me, and his "hairy hand" is tucked behind this paganism. 
If your greatest achievement in European football is to play two matches at the modest Panachaiki GE, the truth that no one would think they would pass into history when least expected. Hellenic Club activist in 2003 in the Superleague , but ended a disastrous season with just nine points. In the winter market, the set of Patras tried desperately to grab at straws, but had no effect. Saša Ognenovski was hired at 23 years, but took only four stakes and nothing could be done in a club that smelled to fall on all four sides. 
The biggest club tournament in Asia comes to an end. The AFC Champions League dresses up for the showdown between Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma and Zob Ahan in the Ishafan Tokyo National Stadium. The meeting will be at 19:00 (local time), while Spain will be at lunch time (11:00 hours) and serve as a snack for a new football weekend.
