New Philippines coach next year ?

"Martinez said he is tapping coach Rick Figuerido of Brazil to take over the national team next year. He claimed Figuerido has World Cup experience with Brazil, Jamaica and Mexico."

    bad, bad move. the young brit we have now is doing a good job and is passionate about growing the sport in the PI. Plus, with his contacts, knowledge and rep in the UK, he'll be able to persuade more and more Euro-based Filipino players to play for the Azkals. Bad move bringing in someone else after just a little more than a year. That's going backward. Not forward.

    Martinez should stay away from the nationa team. And the national team should not touch mari martinez with a barge pole.

    It's obvious how bad a manager Martinez is. You don't make annoucements like that in the middle or just before a tournament that the team has been working hard on.

    Bonehead move. If you want to replace the coach, do it after the tournament unless things are so bad that making things worse would be unlikely. That's not the case here.

    Just goes to show the style of this head. Amazing how he even got to this level or that he still has supporters.

    Ridiculous.

    Amateur mistake.

    Unprofessional.

    Stupid.

    The Brit coach does not possess the minimum coaching license required as set by the AFC for all coaches competing in an AFC Competition.

    The Suzuki Cup have not imposed such rule in its tournament that is why Simeon was qualified to coach the national team in this particular tournamet.

    There may be some consequences in the sudden change of a national coach.Hopefully nothing significant.

    The PFF should have in the first place considered a coach who was qualified to coach in both tournaments instead of hiring different coaches-----------BUT THATS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE INEPTNESS OF MARTINEZ.

    Perhaps Coach Simon can work alongside Coach Rick? Could be a boost to our national team. :)

    I agree that this is a bad move. Simon McMenemy is off to a great start. To begin with the guy helped us qualify for the asean cup in his first stint, which the pff should give him credit for. For Martinez and the federation to make such rash statement can only be detrimental to the team. And to stress this early that he may replace him with a certain rick figuerido, a self professed tactical analyst,who is alleged to have worked for jamaca and who was probably brought by the then Brazilian coach of the Jamaica national team René Simões, who himself only held the post for less than one year. (There was one interview of him on sept 30 2003 http://www.reggaeboyzsc.com). I am not saying that this person would be wrong for our national team, but is he the right person for us.

    playing experience and ones CV plays little in the history of the game. There are a number of coaches/managers who were appointed to the ranks even if they didn’t have the experience of their predecessors, playing or otherwise. one worth noting to mention was the great mat Busby who was only 36 when he was appointed manager of the reds another one was bertie mee who was arsenals physiotherapist when he first managed the club, and even “the great one” José mourino, a coach who has the tactical skills, the attitude and the charisma to match and whose experience as a professional player was little to none. There is one arrigo sacchi who had stints in Parma, athletic, the azzuri and notably ac Milan, a manager a coach who never made the grade to play any professional football and is still considered by many as one of the greats. On famous quotes by sacchi was “I never realised that in order to become a jockey you have to have been a horse first".

    and one more thing, in the history of english football the concept of a dual or co-manager was proven counter productive. the best example for that was the houllier and evans experiment of the 1998 liverpool team. which, after a string of bad and very costly results evans left by "mutual consent" only after four months

    Well they're looking for a new coach not because Coach Si is not doing well but because he does not have the specific qualifications required to coach an international match.

    well, i believe it's time to make drastic changes in aphilippine Football. Eversince PFF has been and alwaysnhad been inutile in their running of our football. It's time to unite all the Filipino footballers and create a new national FA and replace the current PFF... It's a pricey move but with the current status of then PFF administration, it's more than worth the price,

    just asking, but how was the current coach allowed by the AFC and the PFF to handle our NT during the suzuki cup qualifiers if he lacks or doesn't have the proper certification? and weren't those game considered international matches? and if he lacks the credentials why hire him in the first place.

    @tonn 1975
    Because the anonymous person above has their facts wrong. The minimum coaching license (AFC 'B' license or the equivalent) requirement is for club football and McMenemy is obviously not coaching a club team, but rather a national team.

    @Jay Lagat
    Since it's your idea, why don't you take the lead then??? It's a no-go idea anyway. What do you think you'll be able to accomplish by boycotting the PFF and trying to create a "new national FA"? Fact is, you won't be recognized as a legit FA.
