SPANISH Thomas Christiansen sacked after one season in Belgian club. He seems like a nice guy, I just don’t think, he has “it” to coach a team?

My thoughts are that he could be a good number two but he's not a natural No1. Teams under him here looked to play decent football but without any real spark that a good motivator would give.

I agree, He is and was a really nice chap. For me he was a bit too soft spoken for a first team coach/manager, that's not to say players dislike or even disrespect him, I just feel that he doesn't command that extra bit that a top coach needs to motivate his players during a game. There has to be that bit of a rough diamond about a head coach especially with all the footballing ego's in a team. He doesn't have that unfortunately.Selby White wrote:Think you could be right.John Dane wrote:SPANISH Thomas Christiansen sacked after one season in Belgian club.

Shame really isn't it?, he has it but needs that nasty side to him. Maybe a run as a number 2 might give the confidence to do a top job in the future.
No where near the worst we have ever had just needed some more hardened experience before he came.

I used to think that. And then along came Sven Goran Eriksson and tipped my world upside down. Although i guess the ladies certainly thought Sven had that bit of rough about him.CorkWhite wrote:I agree, He is and was a really nice chap.

He was never the same after the Middlesbrough incident for me, looks like we got a decent deal out of that one.NottinghamWhite wrote:Jack Clarke still not getting a game for QPR what’s happened to the lad ?
When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.

Wish the fella the best of luck. Just wasn't the man to push us on, liked him though.John Dane wrote:Thomas Christiansen appointed new head coach of the national team in Panama.
