Send in resume with 2 passport pix .

Now check this....

All the players alyuh find who would make good coach...latapy, yorke, etc.

All the past recycled coaches.

All the wanna bes who hanging on and who hoping for a wuk.

Watch that criteria good and honestly it have few and far between who could satify all the criteria.
I find questions 2,3,4 7 and 8 go give some of them local coaches horrors.

Hence this is why the foreigners have the upperhand.

Either that or they write this ad purposefully to keep the local coaches down...ent alyuh conspiracy theorists go say dat.

But I think the local coaches have to step up they game and improve.

What alyuh say.

Yeah de coaches have to put more effort into getting more experience.  How to do that I doh know when you home, but in TO all you have to do is wait till Summer and they have all them programs that you can enroll into to get certs.

1. Be actively involved in coaching the game of football at an appropriate and/or relevant level with minimum experience of 5 years.

2. Provide at least one certificate of Achievement from a recognised coaching programme or any other form of certification which may be considered acceptable by the Federations Executive Committe.

7. Must have the knowledge of modern football and the ability to present it in a technical, tactical, physical and mental way.

8. Must have the full understanding of how young players develop in all areas of the game.

First of all, who is qualified to assess 7 & 8? Who will do the evaluation and how will it be evaluated?

To me, appropriate and/or relevant level are vague terms. Dey should be more specific.

Dey should also be more specific as to what dey consider a recognised coaching programme or certification.

[SHOTTA]

The TD and the Senior Men's Head coach.  In my opinion, areas 7 & 8 are subjective criteria and as such an applicant would be assessed based on their ability to impress the interviewer/panel of interviewers.  If the coach as attained some sort of advanced certification in the last 5years (e.g., UEFA A or B, USSF A, NSCAA premiere, KNVB, etc.,) he should have already demonstrated the ability to handle these items by passing the oral, written and practical tests required to get that certification .  I believe reading, live game and tape critical study  and attending seminars hosted by prominent coaches would help an applicant.

I don't think it is that vague.....once you are taking seminars and courses you will be up to date on modern techniques in the game as well as how to deal with youths...
Plus this is not an RFP where you need to be very detailed in the Ad, they can sort out if somone has these skillz specifically during the interviewing process.
Also...I don't think it is weeding out local coaches.....what it is doing is saying we are an equal oppurtunity employer (no jokes please) and once you have these set of skills and certs you can apply, it introduces a standard to our football, and it is not even asking for a  high standard,,,it appears any level of certification will work....but we need to start somewhere....we need to set a standard if you want a standard  of football.

Touches I go send in my Resume

I should surely get the work,

I think satisfying #7  is like continuing education for nurses etc.  Once you showyou continually taking refresher courses etc, you safe.

Nah man. I think they just looking for assistant coaches to work within the existing setup.
Hasn't it been said here before that we should get some of the local coaches to work with Beenie/Wim so that they can improve there coaching skills (the locals that is).

But I think the local coaches have to step up they game and improve.

I agree with that. And this is a good opportunity.

Looks like we have to recycle this  ad again? since 2006
