Anybody know anything about him?
He sounds like a cocktail.
Seems like Messi has made the appointment. Reminds me of the story of Maradona getting Menotti the managers job at Barca so he could do as he pleased.
Is it wrong to think this is hilarious? http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jul/22/guus-hiddink-anzhi-makhachkala-rene-meulensteen
I think anyone who put money on Hiddink as the the new Barca coach is an idiot.
My only impression of Martino is a very very astute coach tactically and his teams are often very organised. He is the type who changes the team in accordance to how his opponents play.
Something Barca never do.

They need to start doing it if they want to win the CL again.
They just need to get better individual central defenders to do that.
They don't have the squad to play a different style.
We don't either- that's our problem.
We do, too, and ever since the quality in our side has gone down, we're starting to do it more and more. But, it is not possible to completely alter your team's style of play and top quality teams rarely do it.
Say wot?

Well it depends what you mean by success. Arsene Wenger
Wenger may have exaggerated the importance of lesser achievements, but he's never denied that a win's a win.
Seedorf tackled by Paolo Maldini's son:
Great tackle to be fair.

Well he's not far off it at times, he's blamed the pitch and the other side for "refusing to play" and moaned about "anti-football" (whatever thats supposed to be). I have absolutely no doubt that if we go out of the CL on penalties he will deny we were beaten.
