Do you think Zola would be a good choice for the Socceroos job?

ZOLA next coach???

Post by fb4e »

FOX reported today that ex. Chelsea star Gianfranco Zola would like to coach the socceroos. He is also happy to live in Australia and has offered to do so within the next week if need be.

Would be great for Australian football to get someone of his experience and profile to coach the national side.

no doubting Zola's potential... the man was a football genius and could well become so as a manager...

ok so he has the profile which will be very important in coaching the Socceroos... however, does he have the managerial experience to take on a full time national team? he might turn out to be great, but in picking up Zola there is a great element of risk

Adrian Dalfonso is currentley going for the next socceroos coach. He is a complete wanker, but that Australian board thinks he has the superior skills and quality to take Australia to the worldcup.
