The world of football management is crazy and a born survivor like Roberto Mancini can survive with flourish, says Sir Alex Ferguson on the appointment of Mancini as the boss of Manchester City. Ferguson added that he thinks Mancini did a brilliant job. The long serving manager of Manchester United admits that he often makes remarks on the move of the other bosses of different teams and sometimes he has no answer why such things are done. Whatever, the fact is, it cannot be denied that the job of managing a football team is very difficult and the selection of Mancini as the top official of Man City seems to be a right move.
Mancini has adopted the challenges of the job with fearless authority and it will help him to serve as the boss of Manchester City for a longer period of time. This is definitely one of the best paid jobs and the money spent on the players and huge as well. This will definitely catch the attention of the best players. If the team of Manchester City keeps on winning, then there is no point that Mancini would like to leave the job. One of the biggest problems that the bosses of the teams face is the difficulties of handling the big players. Roberto is not bothered about handling the big players and he has been doing this for long period. In fact, handling the expectations of managing big team is another issue, but Mancini has showed over the years that he has proper decision-making ability and has strength of character.
It is evident with the 6-1 massive win of Manchester City in October at Old Trafford. Ferguson also praised Mancini for the understated celebration of the match when the entire nation got shockwaves.
Win, lose or draw, the pair will share a drink after the game, as they did following City’s emphatic 6-1 win at Old Trafford in October. Ferguson praised the fact that Mancini has the humility after winning. He wishes both of them to get together, have a drink, and share each other’s experiences.
Mancini was also not behind in praising Ferguson. He said that Manchester United’s 3-0 loss against Newcastle should not be taken as a downer. He added that it is not possible for a team to always register a win. A loss cannot break his reputation that he has built over the period of 25 years.

Jurgen Klinsmann, the ex-German soccer star, has been a favorite contender among coaches of the most ambitious teams in the world. Although USA came by as an internationally renowned team in the recent past, it sought Klinsmann as a coach to improve its game. However, as many believed, the ex-soccer star has not been able to convert the team into champions overnight, or with the touch of a magic wand. Moreover, with Klinsmann being one of the most expensive coaches in the world, the time USA is taking to show tangible improvements, is only making the entire deal expensive according to many experts.
Klinsmann’s coaching for Bayern Munich earlier also proved expensive because of extensive use of computers. This was hard to deny for the European soccer club officials because Klinsmann finds Power Point presentations to be the best way to communicate to players. Moreover, facilitating such coaching methods required the installation of several computers and digital appliances, raising the investment costs far higher than before. Although Klinsmann argues that modern technology should be used wherever effective, most team owners find that cheaper alternatives can be more effective. However, one usually finds it near impossible a task when it comes to assigning a coach as good as Jurgen Klinsmann.
Bayern president could not restrain himself from expressing his frustration at the single-mindedness of the German soccer legend because of raising costs and fluctuating participation of the club’s patrons. Competitive games involving a larger number of teams than before imply that careful expenditure, and balanced approaches are becoming key to long term and game specific success. Many US soccer journals have also expressed similar views on the subject, and that using Klinsmann as manager needs to be well thought out.
Altohugh the German club has been mostly negative-sounding about Klinsmann as coach and manager, the Americans seem to still bark on hopes of reaching the European level of skill, perfection and popularity in world soccer. While it is inevitable for players to accept that in the end it is hard work that pays off, Klinsmann hopes to make the changes he was hired to bring in American soccer. The inspiring soccer coach now seems to have shrugged off most concerns about costs as American officials find that improvements in his hi-tech coaching methods are bound to yield substantially well.
