The fact you need a license to coach is absurd. You need to coach small teams to coach big teams, not go through some dumb course
Bruno Génésio doesn't receive the merits he deserves. He is an excellent tactician!
There is no way Zidane had that level of experience before coaching Real Madrid.
English manager are much rarer for a long time
I'm sorry the only thing I got out of this is that its a popularity contest.
this is embarrassing
Steve britshemi
These bullshit also happens to English coaches.
If Valerien Ismael is one of your examples to show French managers 'dotted around Europe', then the French were already struggling and your video is pointless
Why are English managers so rare in the premier league?
Thanks for that, English Steve Buscemi
It seems to me like all managers are either Spanish, Italians, or Germans with some Portuguese a d Dutch…then nothing.
well… you should know what Phillippe Crapsier did for Vietnam
Needing any professional appearances to be a high level coach is the stupidest thing ive ever heard of, I don’t know why anyone thought that rule made sense.
Soo… Titi got a coach certification just to be a pundit? 😮💨
Baleba 🇨🇲🙌
This is dumb. The system has always been like this. What changed that made them go down in coaching talent
French managers are gving other managers from other a countries a chance..simple😂😂😂
Feel like union Berlin is a good example of this. Took the bundesliga by storm with their tactics but after 4 years clubs have figured it out. It’s required more squad bolstering and some tactical adaptations to avoid relegation the past 2 seasons after years of success
When were french managers known for winning ucls? Zidane is the only french manager to win the ucl
Their tactical knowledge is so poor
How about doing a video on 'Why is there no asian managers in elite leagues'?
The portuguese adapt to their environment, the french want to adapt the environment to themselves.
The langage one is sooo true, not just when it comes to football, but every aspect of life. Guys we aren't in the Siècle des lumières anymore… No one but you speaks French !!
valerien ismael 💀💀💀
It doesnt make sense y u need to apear for the french national team or honestly really have played any pro football to be a manager. Some of the best managers were terrible footballers wth the biggest example being Klopp. Thts definetly biggest problem, needing 150apps or 10 france caps.
Why bro looks like kevin de bruyne
And kompany ??
Absolute bs. If you're a good manager, they will come knocking on your door eventually regardless of your nationality
I'm sorry, what?
So, if they were to follow their logic, Wenger wouldn't have been a manager at all🤦🏻♂️
Can someone explain to me ehy that's a good idea, even in theory?
