You haven't really given reasons tho? Just said technical director in smaller club can't do a technical director job in bigger one, because of that alone? When you not really aware of what the job entails or what those he worked for think of him?
to play devils advocate: Maybe he was part of the foundation of Notts current success? Did his job well despite Monza meagre results etc, how would you know?
I was kinda with you until you mentionned Tognozzi. Do you realize that's entirely different job and skillset he is after?
Tognozzi is a talent scout, head scout, who wants to be a sport director. DS.
This job is DT, Technical director, the job is being a liaison of the club's staff, hiring and developing staff, operational process being smooth, strategic admin role, semi culture builder etc. Helps out in some recruitment aspects, but far from A key role in those aspects (These are all aspects of the job not easily noticeable to outsiders to judge, unless investigate their progress). Coaching hires mainly DOF/GM and player hires more for a DS.
P.S I am just trying to make the point in too many words, no need to speak absolutely when we dont really know these people in minor roles. Because DT is a minor role in grand scheme of things, in the sporting sense of the word. Admin and exec wise, is a team player, not main decision maker.
