I don't think two games will tell us if he is a great coach or just a back-up. I, on the other hand, think that if the team reacts positively to his appointment and enjoy his leadership they may be the ones to tip the kettle one way or the other.
Man, this is exciting. Reminds me of the glory days. Although not as a player, he as a coach is reunited with the old guard he was once a part of. The big players like Gigi, Nedved, DP, and Trez will have that look in their eyes again and I can't wait to see it. I imagine they all will have a smile on their faces when they take the field. I think that with Ciro they will enjoy soccer once again.
I also think that should we keep him next year Giovinco will get sooooo much more playing time as he is technically a product of Ciro though Primavera. I know Gio is excited that's for damn sure. I also expect a much TIGHTER defense these next two games. Thank goodness we have someone who knows defense tactics and can run the defense.
I know its risky, but I think I would like Ciro to stay on next year. With Canna/Chiellini and Buffon (maybe DC) we will have a great defense with a coach that has massive understanding in that department. Now, some may be concerned of a defensive 442 all over again but should we get Diego then I think that answers any concerns we might have of playing defensive. Having Ciro as coach IMO won't make us play more defensively but more intelligently at the back to give our midfield and offense less pressure though smarter play. And Gigi won't be having any more heart attacks.
