MtlMario Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Why are the Italian articles calling the March 22 game against Scotland a under 21? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 20 minutes ago, MtlMario said: Why are the Italian articles calling the March 22 game against Scotland a under 21? Probably just telling their readership what level of play the Scottish and Canadian national teams are capable of. Like converting imperial to metric, or dollars to euros, they are converting Canadian/Scottish football to Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Little underwhelming but ok. They opted to dig for someone buried deep in the past likely for cost. Looking over his record and it's not exactly selling me on this guy being much better than Findlay and actually has me hoping FIndlay sticks around to help this guide out more than I was before.

MtlMario Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Definitely a good idea if Findlay sticks around, at least for for the beginning to show the new guys the ropes. But I have a feeling that won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree this is "underwhelming" although I didn't expect anything else. i just don't understand how you can say you're not sure he's even better than Findlay. At least this guy had legit head coaching and technical experience. not sure what Findlay has ever done to get the benefit of the doubt from so many on this board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least this guy had legit head coaching and technical experience. not sure what Findlay has ever done to get the benefit of the doubt from so many on this board Zambrano is almost for sure a better coach than Findlay is but I'm a bit sketchy on this guy having two games to get ready for a major cup. His record as I said isn't selling me on him as a someone who can just walk in like some other guys that have been thrown around. I've said before I don't trust Findlay's tactics but I do trust his knowledge of the player pool. I'm hoping the duo are working together at least until the Gold Cup is done.

Guest Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 As long has he plays attacking football and am entertained while we lose (unlike floro) i'm ok with him. (Of course I want to win though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 4 hours ago, Zem said: Zambrano would certainly tick most people's boxes on this thread: MLS experience, experience in Latin America and speaks good English. The only drawback would be that he has no international coaching experience, but it seems like he'd be a very good fit overall. You forgot the most important tick: he's a Barça fan, while Floro was whiter than white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reading an article that he's coming from Livorno in Italy to coach our U20s? http://m.iltirreno.gelocal.it/livorno/sport/2017/03/08/news/l-ex-preparatore-javier-livia-vola-in-canada-1.15000022?refresh_ce According to transfermarkt he is a fitness coach, was at Livorno but it was his only tracked position on there. Not that the site is hugely reliable for coaches roles but seems a strange on to take over the running of the u20s. Imagine having someone with no credentials as assistant and running the younger age group. Outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peruvian....did similar work with various age groups for Peru, including their U20s and their full national team: https://it.linkedin.com/in/javier-livia-a5730159 Looks to me to be more of a performance specialist rather than a traditional manager. My guess, after reading loads on 'Tavi tonight, is that the elder will call the shots and leave (what the CSA probably sees as a national shortcoming) the physical preparation to Livia. Edit: Seems Livia had been out of work since the summer after the team was relegated. http://iltirreno.gelocal.it/livorno/sport/2017/03/08/news/l-ex-preparatore-javier-livia-vola-in-canada-1.15000022?refresh_ce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zem Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 So Zambrano is going to be directing the entire men's program from U-14 up. Javier Livia has been signed as an assistant coach and Norberto Salamanca as a fitness coach. Findlay will remain as an assistant. http://www.canadasoccer.com/canada-soccer-introduces-new-head-coach-octavio-zambrano-to-lead-the-men-s-national-team-program-p160654-preview-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not a big name but his CV is far more impressive than most of the guys you were advocating for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was advocating sigi schmid so no The other guy i pushed was backe and i would say oz is as relevant given backe was 3 years out of coaching and was a dud for finland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
