Who should manage FC Porto???

Dan · Feb 22, 2001

yeah he wouldn't be a bad choice....I like Antonio Sousa as well....and Jesualdo Ferreira....but like FS....they don't know how to manage a big club despite success elsewhere

Surely if Boavista lop thhe league this season Pacheco will be pished off to say the least and think about leaving to a bigger club :hopefull:

Marco · Feb 22, 2001

I think that Pacheco would be content at Boavista and he woudl really be gung-ho about taking Boavista to the Champions League........again.

Don't know if your aware...but this is the 4000th Post in the Porto forum! :happy:

Lets get to 8000 in shorter time! :happy: :fero: :fero:

Tottenham recently let George Graham go...from what I hear he was a pretty decent manager at Aston Villa....should PDC make a pitch? ANother Robson

Surely Graham is better than the Donkey

Si Pinto · Mar 16, 2001

Marco...get your dumb ass back to claass.

George Graham managed ArseAnal, not Villa.

He also had a go at Leeds.

Do we want him as manager?

Well if you want FC Porto to play a boring offside trap type of game and get relegated. Let's have him.

Why do you think someone who fails at Tottenham, deserves a go at FC Porto?

If your looking for a manager from the premiership, go and get Walter Smith, he's performed miracles at Everton considering the crappy players he's got there, or maybe Peter Reid.

Or the one and only Graham Taylor :happy:

Marco · Mar 16, 2001

oops...confused George Graham with Graham Taylor

Silly me

Look right now all I want is that donkey OUTTTTTTTTTTT of Porto!

By the way if Porto play a boring off-side trap type of game with Graham...it's a lot better than Santos's system at Porto...you know the system he plays? Oh yes...I forget....THERE IS NO SYSTEM!

Penta · Mar 16, 2001

Naa, i want Porto playing that lovely attacking style we had when Robson came to Porto.
Porto was playing s_hit before he came and didnt had many good players... I remember Robson had no choice but to put Secretario playing as a right winger! :eekani:

Anyway, he really knew how to make a team play great with the players he had, good or bad...

:sigh:

Marco · Mar 16, 2001

yeah I agree...I'd like to see some beautiful attacking flowing football from FCP but what I'd really like to see is something that we haven't witnessed in the FS era.

Consistant, organized football.

Drago · Mar 16, 2001

I would prefer a portuguese coach, they already know the enviorment...by order

acheco, O. Machado, Cajuda, Queiróz, A. Jorge.

If we go for a foreign...or a guy that already proved himself in our football: C.A. Silva, Marinho Péres or a South-American (not brazilizn) coach that knows that market very well...to guide our team and in the exploration of that market.

Guest · Mar 16, 2001

I think José Mourinho and Octávio Machado would be excellent. Note that I would like both to be working together and have 2 coachs and not only one as the main coach. I would happen like in Euro 84 that we had 5 coachs (I believe it was this no.). Mourinho to use and support our promises from the B team and Octávio to do a clean up to the team

Marco · Mar 16, 2001

Yesterday in the car with my avo and padrinho we all were all saying:

"Octavio, Octavio, Octavio....come to Porto"

I like your idea of Octavio and Mourinho. Letting Mourinho control our B team would bode well for the future.

Drago · Mar 16, 2001

José Mourinho and Octavio don't get along...in fact they recently exchanged very "hard words"

Guest · Mar 16, 2001

I have recently read an article ( I belive it was linked on the portuguesesoccer.com website) that stated PDC and the Porto administration were extremly pleased with FS and that they had the upmost respect for the man.

They continued by stating that PDC is going to or has extended FS contract.???????

Do any of you know if there is any truth to this?

If so, this is truely a sign that PDC has lost his mind or that he has been brain washed.

I still think PDC is the greatest thing to ever happen to Porto but, with his opnion on FS, i'm starting to lose confidance in him.

Please tell me this isn't true!

FS must go!!!!!

Dragoa??Another female? :dielaugh:

Penta · Mar 17, 2001

BTW, what happened to Artur Jorge?

PDC allways said he would some day return to Porto... maybe his day has come...

Drago · Mar 17, 2001

He has been alot of time apart of football-world...maybe not our top priority...but still, a "man of the house"

Like I said before, after the portuguese I would go to a South American (not brazilian) coach...

Im not so sure about that... a foreign coach who doesnt know portuguese football always has a hard time adapting himself.
How many times Sporting and Benfica hired foreign coaches just to fire them a few months later...

Drago · Mar 17, 2001

That's Benfica and Sporting...

I belive that we should find our own Cuper, Valdano....there are great coaches down there that can spot talent, and "work" the younger players. Unlike the African football, South American football has a very strong tacticall sense,and their coaches are also very good in this point!

After all, C.A. Silva was foreign, Robson, Ivic also...so i don't see a point there...

Ericksson was foreign also...and look to his work...

Penta · Mar 17, 2001

All im saying is hiring foreign coaches is sometimes a shot in the dark.

Robson came from Sporting so he knew our football, as for CAS he was an alright coach but not one of my favorites, Erikson though was a great coach in Benfica.

I guess if the coach has proved himself he can come, but i dont want any unproven foreign coach it can ruin an
entire season...

Penta · Mar 17, 2001

Oh as for Ivic... well he was a master tactician always finding new ways to play the game. He did great when he first came to Porto and won those international titles. When he came back (after CAS left) he tried a new strategy with 3 center defenders that just didnt work. Porto was playing like s_hit and he left... He was just not aware how portuguese football was like several years after...

And i think he was in Benfica too (dont remember when exactly...) and he wasnt lucky either.

See what i mean?

Who should manage FC Porto???
