Maturana takes up senior coaching job.

[sub1]

A Colombian in work here told me about a recent Maturana interview.
Maturana said that he wanted T&T to do well and was trying, but was being told who to pick by ppl in the TTFF.

Then he aint no coach as i supected. any respectable coach would not take that shit from anyone

I know Russell anit go take that from TTFF. And what people in the TTFF he talking bout. Only one person could do that.

Yeah you stop dey wid dat

Ent?

Ah suppose Porterfield wasn't a respectable coach.  Neither was Wim.  Nor Simoes.  Nor Bertille.  etc. etc. etc.

Of course we all know that super respectable coach Trini Terry would never take dat from anybody. 

Those three never bowed to Jack's assinine insistence. In Wim's case the players were banned. He lost his job because he kept insisting on having his best possible team and not because of the antiman LP. Bertille besides being a coach seriously out of his depth was an intensely proud man who, because of his insistence that Jack stay out of his coaching business lost his opportunity to do even worse as a coach. Awful coach but a very strong individual who Jack could not mess with. Jack could not mess with the prof. I say so.

[E-man]

looking through Spanish news to see where he said that. In doing so I see Ecuador is experimenting with 3/5/2 in their friendly vs. El Sal

Mat's also says Colombia won't qualify for WC 2010.

Why all yuh bringing up a thread with Pacho. All yuh did'nt like him. There is no need to reminist on the good old days.

Everybody know Jack want his hand in everyting.

I ask de Colombian man here what else Mats say, and where I could find the interview.
He say it should be on Caracol.com from last week but I eh see it there.

Anyway he say Maturana said he liked our players and wanted to keep the job but the FF wanted to have too much influence in the team selection and he couldn't do everyting he wanted, so he had to let it go.

He didn't mention the dissatisfaction the general public had with his tactics and subs, or any details of the meeting with the TTFF.

Also Mats say Colombia should hire a foreign coach.
My coworker was gettin worked up over that.

So if true he's a real coach den.  Maybe his subs that he used were based on players he had confidence in.  Hmm this is interesting tho.

Me eh kno wha some man does be thinkin nah.  Experienced coaches have endured it constantly with the TTFF but a rookie coach wanting to preserve his dream job will say "nah f**k dat, allyuh eh go run my program sah" to de TTFF ent?!

If Russell is so he own man, lemmeh see he 1) pick Brent Sancho &/or Kelvin Jack and 2) dey actually play.

If indeed true and he succumbed, it confirms that Maturana is weak and would be ineffective as a coach/leader.

Rijsbergen negotiates with Persepolis FC
Tehran Times Sports Desk

TEHRAN - Former Netherlands defender Wim Rijsbergen is the newest candidate for taking charge of Persepolis football team.

The 57 year-old coach has come to Tehran to negotiate with Tehran’s popular team.

“Rijsbergen is a good choice to coach Persepolis. We will make the final decision by the end of Sunday,” Hamid Jasemian, a member of Persepolis’ managerial board said.

Rijsbergen assisted Leo Beenhakker in Trinidad and Tobago national team at the 2006 World Cup. He headed the team for a while after Beenhakker left the Caribbean team.

Rijsbergen will bring an assistant from the Netherlands in case of reaching the agreement with Persepolis.

The Dutch played for the Netherlands in 1974 and 1978 World Cups. He has made 28 caps and scored one goal.

He has also coached Ajax Amsterdam (youthteam), Roodenburg, Groningen and Al-Ettifaq.

Persepolis did not reach an agreement with Spaniard Benito Floro Sanz, German Klaus Toppmoller and Croat Luka Peruzovic.

We got the wrong Columbian- The Haiti coach was a better option- Blame Alvin for that one.
 Plus it will not be a good career move for Latapy to play sancho/ jack.

Maturana backs Trinidad & Tobago resurgence
CONCACAF.com

Former Trinidad & Tobago head coach Francisco Maturana believes the Soca Warriors have the tools to return to the World Cup and in the top flight of CONCACAF sides.

From 2008-2009, the Colombian icon guided the Caribbean power to 18 wins in 32 games.

Speaking to CONCACAF.com at the FIFA/CONCACAF/CONMEBOL Conference for National Coaches and Technical Directors in Panama, Maturana recalled fondly his time with T&T and remains optimistic that it will improve after missing out on a second straight World Cup.

“I would be glad to see Trinidad & Tobago start doing well in the future,” Maturana said.  “I got to know the players and they are good guys, but they have to work very hard.  You see how good other CONCACAF teams are playing, like Mexico, United States and Costa Rica.  It is very competitive, so they have to work very hard.”

Maturana retired from coaching in 2012, his last coaching engagement was with perennial Saudi Arabian powerhouse Al Nassr.

He now sits on the FIFA Football Committee, tasked with inter-institutional relations between the football’s governing body, confederations, clubs, leagues and member associations.

Maturana urged CONCACAF members in attendance to review thoroughly the information presented at the symposium and implement measures to lift their football.

“All the aspects discussed here are quite important,” expressed Maturana.  “The CONCACAF teams have to decide which pieces discussed can be useful.”

In an outstanding coaching career, Maturana led national teams of Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru and Trinidad & Tobago national, as well as top-flight European clubs like Atletico Madrid.  In 1989, he managed Colombia’s Atletico Nacional to the Copa Libertadores title.

Kind of misleading. He is not backing us to do well. He is hoping we do well. They always say since things. 

I saw Rolando post a picture with Kaylor Navas and got depressed. Feel like the gap is getting wider and wider and we're not even playing friendlies. Unless we have some magic dust to produce a top side then we will have a very hard time taking points from any of that 3. When we qualified we got some points from Mexico at least.

[Tenorsaw]

I done say there is a front three and then a gap...Costa Rica join the U.S. and Mexico as the teams to beat in Concacaf

nothing is special about costa rica tbh... i wasn't impressed with them at the world cup, they play together consistently that is their strength, besides that they don't have talent above TT... if TT works hard they can beat any of those teams on any given day..

but it is always lack of prep for us... like if we are being sabotaged from within...

[Tenorsaw]

They're a much more organized unit than us, and their World Cup experience may very well have increased their confidence.  They don't have high profile players, with the exception of Navas at Madrid.

[toonmili]

They have a lot more players playing in top leagues.  They have a great ranking so they won't have trouble getting friendlies. I'm just amazed how everyone is taking their football to another level.  Even Haiti, a third world country (and don't start arguments about Trinidad is also a third world country), had their team in order.
