Zeman set for comeback
Friday 2 December, 2005
Zdenek Zeman has been out of work since leaving Lecce in the summer, but reveals he already has a new job lined up.
“I already have a team waiting for me and it all depends on when the new owners give me the final call,” explained the Czech at an awards ceremony in Palermo.
The Coach is renowned for his exciting brand of football, as seen at Foggia, Lazio, Roma and most recently Lecce. He left the Stadio Via del Mare and was linked to several sides over the summer, including Roma and Palermo, but remained outside the sport.
It’s believed the most likely destination is Parma, who are struggling badly under boss Mario Beretta and undergoing a complex change of ownership.
Former Real Madrid patron Lorenzo Sanz agreed a deal to buy out the Tardini side several months ago, but the contracts are yet to be completed due to a few complications.
Zeman would fit the bill of an attack-minded Coach who can take teams without too many star names to comfortable mid-table positions. There are also rumours of a return to Roma, but this seems less probable considering Luciano Spalletti’s pedigree.
“The Scudetto race is all too predictable now,” he added. “Every year there are only three clubs challenging, five for the European cups and 12 to avoid relegation. Inter are already out of the title run, as a 10-point deficit is too large, while Roma are paying the price for their difficult situation.”
Zeman, who Coached Francesco Totti during his Giallorossi days, had a stark warning for the Italian international.
“Totti can never win the European Player of the Year award while he’s at Roma. As for Antonio Cassano’s contract dispute, he’s taking advantage of the fact he’s one of the few players nowadays who can pick and choose his destination.”
Above all, the Czech is famous for kick-starting the revolution in drugs testing in Italian sport and the on-going trial into Juve’s affairs.
“The testing has changed over the past few years and I hope they work now, but there will always be a suspicion anyway. Today football is run by economic considerations and power play has a huge influence over every aspect of the sport.”
