Otto Baric wanted to build a new Salzburg - within a short period. Now he had to face reality - which means a Salzburg that can't afford expensive players - and decided to quit...

It's Baric. So no surprise, imo.
Södergard will be dancing on the ceiling!

Even Baric realized that Salzburg has not much to offer next season.

Well, I guess he couldn't reach the expected "wages" by signing only young Austrians...

I'd say Salzburg hasn't much to offer because of Baric!

Without the Otto there's only one way for Salzburg, that's up!

What's this? I thought you all loved Baric, especially you TGV


:tongue:

Ivo, the fact is that Baric possibly could have revived Salzburg, but he's been too naive about the clubs potential. And it's quite strange that he leaves a club before the season...

I'm sure you know I was just kidding around there.

But on the issue, Baric should've know the situation at Salzburg, there's no excuse for not knowing, it's his job to know.

As far as quitting before the season, I agree it's strange and wrong of him to do. He made an agreement and should've honoured it, regardless of what he might have thought coming in.

It just dawned on me that Baric may be the next coach for Croatia. Current coach Mirko Jozic has recently stated that he would not renew his contract which runs out on August 1rst I believe and it could be that Baric has agreed to terms and just hasn't said anything yet.

Mind you this is just a possibility and there's nothing to support it.

 

[tgv325]

Good luck to you that you'll find someone else!

You have to remember that life as a coach is unique. Take a look at Lippi, things went poorly for him at Juve a few years back, then at Inter things were probably worse, then he came back to Juve and they won lo scudetto.

So things might not have worked for Baric and Austria, but that doesn't make him a bad coach and I hope he comes home.
