VALENCIA CF wishes a coach with prestige, according the Valencia´s
Football Director, Miguel Angel Ruiz ( elmundo.es). How´s that for a
message, Quique Sanchez Flores ( just fired) obviously did not make
the grade, & the new "care taking" coach Oscar Fernandez has been
already been baptised & branded.
While most of Europe look for & hire Spanish coaches ( they do have
prestige outside of Spain) like Benitez ( Liverpool) , Juande
(Tottenham), Ferrer (AEK Athens)...etc, locally as Valencia, most teams
put their hopes on "outsiders" with prestige! This is a typical Spanish
(or Latin) cultural characteristic, were the foreign is seen as bigger &
better than what is equally avaliable at home.
According to "Marca" these are the 6 names being managed to take
over the Valencia bench, as you can see only one locally born & raised
coach ( Del Bosque). The list is:
coach ( Del Bosque). The list is:
Fabio Capello, Vicente Del Bosque, Felipe Scolari, Mourinho,
Lippi o Deschamps.
Some on the list, have huge economic pretensions, others are taking a sabatic
rest & the rest have other team duties. Who do you think will wish to take the
challenge? Will he be the true messiah, the savoiur of Valencia?

Mourinho is a definite possibility. He said when he left Chelsea he wanted to manage in another top European country and Valencia would suit the bill for him perfectly I reckon.
