The way that Zoff was dismissed after he was the best coach in the world for the 2000/2001 season.
He had to bring in great results immidiately with a brand new team with no confidence. There is no doubt mendieta and Fiore are quality players but they were playing poorly. They were new to the team and needed time to adjust. Zoff gave them the chances (the only way that they could improve) at first team football and maybe it was because of them that he was sacked. If we were still with Zoff I'm sure than Mendi would be settled and a star. When Zac came in he took the easy wasy out and results have improved slightly but hes been greedy while Zoff took a blow for the team doing what was best for the team. He inturn lost his job while Zac has been average and left Mendieta in the wilderness
Its sad that due to this lack off respect we lost Zoff. He would have been great for next season (nearly as good as Cuper) but we must stick to 4-4-2
btw when do u guys think our turning point was? When we became the dull team that wasnt championship material. Was it when we sold Conceicao for Almeyda + Conceicao? When SGE agreed to coach england? When we signed Zoff? When we sold Veron + Salas + Nedved? When Zoff played 3-4-1-2? When we signed Zac?
I think its a mix of when we sold Veron and co and 3-4-1-2....Zac was the topping on the cake. What a shame we didnt get Cuper :depress:
