Zenga appointed head coach

[Sniffer]

.....

 

[Alan]

Walter Zenga CONFIRMED

Head scratching ensues.

 

[Wolvensam]

That was quick. His record is thoroughly uninspiring, but let's see what he can do.

 

[adwolf returns]

Oh ****, that's burst the bubble.
How will that appointment help to attract good players?

 

[SSB]

Guess the bookies knew what was coming then.

Just been reading about his managerial career over on the ever reliable Wikipedia. I must have read the sentence "after a string of poor results he was removed from his position as Manager" about 5 times. Really odd list of clubs that he's managed as well.

Not quite sure what to make of that, if I'm honest.

 

[BillyDee]

Thoroughly underwhelmed by his record.

 

[Wolvensam]

If his name isn't sung to "We Like to Party" by the Vengaboys I'm going to be thoroughly disappointed.

 

[Aikiwolf]

“He has an excellent track record both as a player and as a coach, and a wealth of experience he can bring to his new role at Wolves.

Not for me - like going on a blind date you never know what your going to get.

That's the track record of someone who is crap at management, or a maverick who upsets people wherever he goes.

 

[Alan]

Been at 10 clubs and only been any good at one of them (Catania).

Difficult to see what Fosun are thinking here.

 

[Nando]

He'll be done before Christmas.

Absolutely ridiculous appointment.

 

[Wolvensam]

He was in line for the Southampton job two months ago - practically confirmed by some of the national press. I guess he can't be THAT bad?

 

[Kenny]

In the stands for todays game which Rob Edwards will take charge of

 

[Walnut]

For God's sake give the guy a chance. He may be crap but we have to see what he as to offer.

 

[Johnny75]

I hope they know what they're doing because this reads very, very badly.

http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/walter-zenga/profil/trainer/1799

Lost nearly 40% of his games and hasn't lasted longer than 16 games in his last 6 appointments.

 

[Nando]

He's had 16 managerial appointments and lasted more than a year three times.

FFS.

 

[TornadoTed]

I'm a bit stunned, his track record is beyond appalling but I will give him and Fosun the benefit of the doubt.
