  • Rafael Benitez on World Cup 2014: Never Mind Neymar – Argentina Will Feel Loss of Free-Running Angel Di Maria Against Netherlands
    Rafael Benitez on World Cup 2014: Never mind Neymar – Argentina will feel loss of free-running Angel Di Maria against Netherlands In his exclusive column for The Independent, the former Liverpool manager and current Napoli boss warns that the Netherlands shouldn't underestimate Argentina's tactical flexibility during their semi-final meeting Rafael Benitez Tuesday, 8 July 2014 We have heard a lot about the Brazilian favelas and Argentina has its special difficult conditions too. They call them the potreros. It is where they play football, normally on small pieces of land – irregular – and it is because of the difficulties that the players look for football to give them a way out. Don’t underestimate how the poverty has given Argentina the players it has. I have known a lot of them and I know that with Argentina there is a spirit which few other nations have. They have a very tough job now that we are into the last week of the tournament. Everyone has been talking about Neymar in the last three days but Argentina losing Angel Di Maria has consequences which could be just as serious – maybe we can say more serious – than Brazil losing their talisman. I’m talking about options. We have seen Alejandro Sabella, the Argentina manager, being very flexible with his tactics in the tournament. He started with a line of five in midfield in the first half of the first game against Bosnia. Then he went to 4-3-1-2, then 4-2-3-1, with Lionel Messi behind Gonzalo Higuain, my striker at Napoli, Di Maria on the right and Ezequiel Lavezzi the left – giving width.

Design/methodology/approach: Extant literature relating to managerial change is identified and discussed to provide the foundations of the discussion of whether managerial change in the EPL which is primarily focused on performance outcome, is neglecting ethical and legal issues. Findings: The loophole that exists in the Employment Rights Act (1996) allows clubs to instantly dismiss a manager and consequently not see out their notice period as agreed in their contract or the statutory notice period. Whilst legally clubs are at will to act in this manner, the instability of EPL management evident today appears to have taken away the rights of an employee.

  • Mourinho – Made in Portugal
    Notes on: Mourinho – Made in Portugal Introduction FC Porto, under José Mourinho, became only the 6th side in history to win their domestic league and cup and the Europeon competition in which they were involved, and then as if the treble were not enough, they also won the Champions League Championship. In spite of his accomplishments and high profile, people are somewhat wary of his outlandish statements, mannerisms and demeanor, which can be mistaken for Latin arrogance. In reality, he is much more about self-confidence, bordering on arrogance. He is a dedicated family man and despite the steely determination to succeed as a coach, there is the vulnerability and awareness of the transient nature of the job that every football manager must feel. It is only natural for those with a sense of ambition in any walk of life to seek out new challenges and greater financial reward. Perhaps Mourinho’s greatest achievement was to restore the Portuguese football to a position not seen since the glory days of Eusebio’s Benfica in the 60s. From an early age Mourinho has lived and breathed the game, cultivating his studious approach, learning first from his father, whose own coaching career spanned almost 20 years, and later in a more formal environment with a degree is Sports Science form a Lisbon university. In addition his stints as assistant coach to Bobby Robson and Louis van Gaal and the time spent coaching in the lower divisions of the Portuguese league provided him the necessary experiences he needed to become a professional manager.
