  • “The Special One” Lähtee Seuraavana Valioliigavalmentajista
    “The Special One” lähtee seuraavana Valioliigavalmentajista Swansea City ilmoitti keskiviikkona valmentaja Garry Monkin potkuista. José Mourinho on seuraava valioliigavalmentaja, jolle näytetään ovea, ainakin jos ahvenanmaalaisen peliyhtiö Pafin kertoimet pitävät kutinsa. Walesilaisen Swansean johtoporras sai keskiviikkona tarpeekseen joukkueen heikoista tuloksista tämän kauden Valioliigassa. Valmentaja Garry Monk, jonka alaisuudessa joukkue on voittanut vain kolme viidestätoista tämän sarjakauden ottelustaan, sai kokea seuraukset potkujen muodossa. Pafin vedonvälittäjien mukaan päätös oli odotettu. Garry ”Monkey” Monkin potkujen saamiselle annettu kerroin oli matala 1.10. Kertoimien mukaan Chelsean José Mourinho on seuraavana vuorossa saada potkut. Paf antaa kertoimen 2.25 sille, että The Special One saa lähteä lontoolaisesta suurseurasta. Kertoimen myötä Mourinho on luultavin seuraavaksi potkut saava Premier League-valmentaja. ”Vuodenvaihde on aina myrskyisää aikaa englantilaisessa jalkapallossa. Monet seurat tarkastelevat pelaaja- ja valmentajamateriaaliaan. On kuitenkin poikkeuksellista, että hallitsevan Valioliigamestarin manageri, Chelsean José ”The Special One” Mourinho, on lähimpänä potkuja kaikista Valioliigan valmentajista”, Pafin viestintäpäälikkö Mattias Lindquist sanoo. Chelsea varmisti keskiviikkoiltana jatkopaikkansa Mestareiden liigassa voittamalla Porton 2–0 kotikentällään, samana päivänä kun Garry Monk sai potkut Swanseasta. Jää nähtäviksi, kuinka paljon voitto auttaa Mourinhoa pitämään työpaikkansa, kun Chelsea edelleen

  • Garry Monk Y La Evolución Del Adn Swansea
    GARRY MONK Y LA EVOLUCIÓN DEL ADN SWANSEA Agustín Galán La trayectoria profesional de Garry Monk cambió radicalmente en el lapso de un año. En febrero de 2013 alzaba junto a Ashley Williams la Capital One Cup conseguida ante el Bradford por un rotundo 0-5 en Wembley, primer gran título en la historia del Swansea. Doce me- ses después, un doblete de Kevin Nolan hacía desaparecer del todo la confianza que el presidente, Huw Jenkins, tenía en su entrenador, Michael Laudrup. Esa derrota ante el West Ham conllevó la destitu- ción del danés y la alternativa en un banquillo de la Premier League para Garry Monk, que estaba apurando los últimos años de una ca- rrera marcada por duras lesiones de rodilla y un profundo conoci- miento de todos los estratos del fútbol británico. 18 Índice Revista#14 PerarnauClub l defensa central se había convertido en un habitual del equipo reser- va del Swansea y sus apariciones en el primer equipo se habían visto Elimitadas por culpa de sus molestias físicas, lo que había hecho que el brazalete de capitán recayera en Ashley Williams, compañero de fatigas y de defensa durante varios años. Monk vivió el fulgurante ascenso de los swans desde la Football League Two (cuarta categoría inglesa) hasta la Premier League, de la que no se ha apeado desde que ascendiera en 2011. El defen- sa central acumuló diez años de experiencia en los que fue dirigido por cinco técnicos distintos: Kenny Jackett, Paulo Sousa, Roberto Martínez, Brendan Rodgers y Michael Laudrup. Huw Jenkins consideró que una década como jugador, tres ascensos y la li- breta de cinco entrenadores a sus espaldas eran ingredientes suficientes para proponerle a Garry Monk el puesto de entrenador-jugador de forma in- terina hasta el final de la temporada 2013-14, en la que el Swansea llegó a situarse únicamente dos puntos por encima de la zona de descenso.

  • Näst På Tur Att Bli Av Med Tränarjobbet I Premier League
    “The Special One” näst på tur att bli av med tränarjobbet i Premier League I onsdags kväll kom beskedet att Swansea City sparkar tränaren Garry Monk. Näst på tur att få foten är Chelsea-tränaren José Mourinho, åtminstone om oddsen från det åländska spelbolaget Paf får avgöra. Ledarstaben i den walesiska fotbollsklubben Swansea fick i onsdags nog av lagets mediokra inledning på Premier League-säsongen. Tränaren Garry Monk, som under säsongen enbart lyckats vinna tre av lagets femton matcher, fick därför ta smällen och sparkades med omedelbar verkan. Enligt Pafs oddssättare var det väntat att Garry “Monkey” Monk skulle bli av med jobbet, då oddset att han skulle få foten uppgick till låga 1.10. Näst på tur att få foten är enligt oddsen Chelseas tränare José Mourinho. Pafs odds på att “The Special One” får lämna den anrika Londonklubben uppgår till 2.25, vilket gör honom till oddsmässig favorit att vara nästa Premier League-tränare som får sparken från sin klubb. “Tiden kring årsskiftet är alltid organisationsmässigt turbulent i Premier League då många klubbar ser över både spelartruppen och tränarstaben. Det är dock exceptionellt att de regerande mästarna Chelseas demontränare José “The Special One” Mourinho sitter osäkrast av samtliga tränare i den engelska ligan”, säger Mattias Lindquist, kommunikationschef på Paf. I onsdags kväll, strax efter det att Swansea sparkat tränaren Garry Monk, säkrade Chelsea vidare avancemang i Champions League genom att hemmabesegra Porto med 2-0. Huruvida det stärker Mourinhos anställning i klubben återstår att se, då Chelsea går desto sämre i engelska ligan. “José Mourinho har inlett svagt i ligan med föga femton poäng på lika många matcher, så risken finns att Chelsea-ägaren Roman Abramovitjs tålamod så smått börjar ta slut.
