Yeah, I know. He's Danish (Møller, not Muller). I'm wondering how you know him.

He was the coach of Israel in World Cup 2002 qualifiers, great coach and real gentleman, one of my all-time favs.

Israelian coach ?

What was his tactic, shoot from distance or just bomb it in the box ?

Damn, that's a huge statement. Even though he brought us the European championship, we don't hold him in that high regard. His English was priceless though.

1. He was 1 minute away from reaching the playoffs, the closest Israel ever got to the World Cup since playing in the European zone (early 90's). That free kick...damn, it still hurts:
2. We really loved him because he was so different from Israeli coaches, he brought something new. He was a professional, a gentleman, a decent man with classic attitude and smart ideas. The opposite of the typical Israeli coach. Plus, he really loved us and felt connected to the country.

The most famous anecdote from his days here - he noticed that our defenders give away penalty kicks often by touching the ball with their hand while trying to reach a ball in the air. So he took a rope and they played with their hands tight, jumping to headers with the hands behind their back. After several trainings with tight hands, problem was solved.

The decision to let him go after only two years was the most stupid in the history of the Israeli football association.

haha

Is he going to the MLS?

 

[Hydde]

That would be awesome!!

 

[Del Piero Style]

He's vying for an offer that suits him from all the aspects. Everything is possible, MLS, Japan and maybe even Celtic, but he and his brother, Stefano, hinted that he won't play on in any case, but only if he finds a project that he likes, like Sydney.

:xfinger:

Such a grand gentleman.!

 

[bongraider]

So maybe now Ale can be Juve coach?

 

[Salvo]

Wouldn't that be a dream.

 

[Yamen]

Nope :haddadjunior:

stop raiding the bong, that will never happen with AA around

 

[CaesarCod]

ADP as coach is a terrible idea. If he had XP as a coach then yes

 

[enzo]

I definitely want to see this happen, but not now. Let him get some experience. First coach, then president.

 

[bongraider]

I doubt he'd make a bad coach, he's a sound professional an all the players love him. It goes with the territiry of being capitano so the transition i think wont be too hard?

 

[GarfielD]

Is it true that Allegri wants to bring him back?
