Zeman: 'Italy has regressed’
Monday 26 July, 2010
Foggia’s new Coach, the outspoken Zdenek Zeman, believes Italians have stopped teaching football properly.
The Azzurri were humiliated at the World Cup in South Africa this summer, receiving their marching orders in the group stages.
Interviewed in Il Corriere dello Sport, Zeman said: “I knew that Italy would do badly. Italian football finds itself in crisis.
“In Serie A today there isn’t a Coach who has got my results or who has added value to players like I did.
“I do what I always do. I say what I think. Today a Coach is no longer chosen for his competency, but out of convenience.
“I see staff with 15 collaborators, the Coach is someone because he is someone responsible. In clubs today the person responsible for the marketing is more important than the Coach.”
When asked about his own objectives for Foggia, Zeman simply said: “To teach how to play football.”
