[article=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2415508/Craig-Bellamy-Im-ready-quit-playing-want-travel-world-learn-coach.html]I’ve got my A licence already. I’m doing my Pro licence and after that I’m going to travel around the world — Spain, Argentina — to learn my craft. I don’t just want to go in and mess about. When I go in, I’m going to be prepared — and I’m going to stay in.[/article]
Danny Murphy
[article=http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/Crewe-Alex-Dario-Gradi-tips-released-teenager/story-19044075-detail/story.html#axzz2eSaWs2V2]"We've just released Paris as a first-year pro and we'd offered him a full-time job coaching, but he wants to be playing while he can," said Gradi.

"We have earmarked him as a potential full-time coach because we are keen to produce top-level coaches as well.

"Kenny Lunt was here last week, as was Lee Bell and they will go into coaching.

"Dave Artell was only here a couple of years, but he's dead keen to carry on his coaching.

"(Danny) Murphy will be a candidate if he wants to be manager, and he did always want to be a manager, although he'll have to go and be a coach somewhere else first.

"They are the sort of people we identify as potential coaches. That's an important part of what we do."[/article]
Fabio Cannavaro
[article=http://www.sport360.com/football/al-ahlis-youth-critical-future-success-insists-cannavaro]The 39-year-old has spent the last year flying between Italy and Dubai completing his coaches badges so that he can make a permanent move from an advisory role to a technical position.

Fabio Cannavaro begins his life in the dug out this season where he will be a key assistant to new Al Ahli coach Olaroiu. After spending several seasons in an advisory role, Cannavaro said it was a natural move into coaching, claiming “football is in [my] blood”.

Cannavaro said: “I cannot stay away from the game because it is the only thing in my life, it’s the only work I can imagine for myself.

“I found that the most appropriate way to go in football was to start coaching and to use the benefit of my experience to benefit others.”[/article]
Filippo Inzaghi

Article: 2013: I know the stats of the game inside out. I know patterns, and behaviors of players. I know coaching systems. RurikBird knows players. He knows strategy. Together we will be the Batman and Robin of a club one day.

 

[Judge Jules]

So Inzaghi's coaching now. That'll certainly keep the honourable tradition of Italian rule-bending alive and well.

Sol Campbell
[article=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2298935/Sol-Campbell-joins-Chris-Coleman-Wales-training-does-coaching-badges.html]Speaking in May, he said: 'I want to start sometime in the summer. But it's a slow burner that takes three to four years. The best thing is to get it done and over with. Eventually I want to get into something.

'But it's a long old stint to get your badges for the UK and then the UEFA badge.'

[article=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/8945810/sol-campbell-claims-his-coaching-career-is-england-is-obstructed-by-racism]Sol Campbell claims he will have to start his coaching career abroad as he believes there are still "archaic" attitudes towards black managers and coaches in the English game.

The 39-year-old announced his retirement from the game in May 2012 and has since been studying for his UEFA A licence, the second highest coaching qualification available.

Even after he has obtained his coaching badges Campbell believes he has little option but to look abroad for work because of the limited opportunities offered to black coaches in the English game.

Norwich's Chris Hughton, Charlton's Chris Powell, Blackpool boss Paul Ince and Notts County manager Chris Kiwomya are currently the only black managers among the professional teams in the Premier League and Football League.

"I want to start abroad," he told the Guardian. "There are no opportunities for me here, not until attitudes change anyway.

"Everyone has to ask themselves why there are not more black managers in this country and why the likes of Brian Deane have to go abroad to get a chance.

"I've spoken to other black players who want to coach and they feel the same, that attitudes here are archaic. I hope and pray the environment changes."

Henrik Larsson
[article=http://www.football-espana.net/36606/%E2%80%98barca-need-someone-ibra%E2%80%99]Larsson is currently training for his coaching badges.

“Time will tell if I become a trainer in a major league. Openly I cannot say where I’d like to go, because if I say Scotland then it will be read that I mean Celtic and now I do not know where I will be. Barca? You never know…”[/article]

 

[gkmacca]

As usual, Campbell is using specious generalisations and vague suggestions of racism to excuse his own slow progress. Ince was fast-tracked through the UEFA B, A and Pro courses. More recently the FA has elected to speed up the process whereby top senior players acquire all their badges in order to ensure that more bother to do them at all instead of drifting off to be pundits or drunks. It wasn't long ago that Campbell was saying he was off to learn the craft of acting and become a Hollywood star. Then he was quoted as saying he fancied being an architect. I suspect he has a tiny concentration span and resents anyone who tells him he's got to study anything rather than just get a box of diplomas for being good at heading.

 

[Modo]

Maybe people think he'll become a shit manager. Well I do.

 

[gkmacca]

It's a shame because in the past he's spoken out at the right times on some occasions about racism but he's also now playing the card whenever he can't be arsed to do anything in his own career. He makes Mark Hughes seem animated, he's about as eloquent as Marcel Marceau, and he's shown zero sign of being suited to handling anything more challenging than Kelly Hoppen's hooter. He's got a listlessness about him that would surely drive most players crazy. He couldn't even make up his mind to retire properly, and just kept using clubs as training facilities for about three years. If he was white I doubt he'd even get as much media coverage for his ongoing aimlessness.

Craig Bellamy
[article=http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/435921/Craig-Bellamy-in-frame-for-Wales-job]Bellamy, who will play his last international on Welsh soil tonight, has his supporters within the FAW as they consider Coleman’s future.

Defeat in Cardiff by Macedonia followed by a drubbing in Belgium on Tuesday, would leave Wales bottom of their World Cup qualifying group and surely end Coleman’s 21-month reign as boss.

Under Coleman Wales have won only three out of 13 games, losing nine.

He said: “You need the complete backing of the Welsh FA. If people are talking about these two games, then what’s the point?

“If that is the case, I won’t be the man to lead Wales forward.”

A new contract was drawn up, but it has been put on hold by chief executive Jonathan Ford.

Appointing Bellamy, 34, would be a huge gamble, but he is expected to retire from playing completely at the end of this season and has been doing his coaching badges.

Bellamy said this week the current Wales squad is the best for over 50 years and he would surely relish the challenge.[/article]

Carragher on Bellamy
[article=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2454642/Jamie-Carragher-World-Cup-dying-isnt-patch-Champions-League--holding-winter-save-it.html#ixzz2hWIXFvMs ]Craig Bellamy will end his playing career for Wales on Tuesday in Belgium but I don’t expect that to be his last involvement in international football.

In terms of the 76 caps he has won and the 19 goals he has scored for his country, coupled with what he has done in the Premier League over the past decade, he is right up there with the best Welsh players of his generation and, indeed, all time.

His comments about it being a failure that Wales have never qualified for a major tournament while he has been playing are typical of Craig. He is a player I know well, having enjoyed two spells with him at Liverpool.

He expects the highest standards from those around him and certainly isn’t afraid to say if he feels someone has fallen short!

Craig had problems with certain players and managers during his career because of his character but I loved him. He hated losing with a passion, he is a great professional in how he approaches training, especially with his warm downs and gym work, and he has tremendous energy.

He is very intense and driven but he could also bring humour to the dressing room and is one of the few players who shared my enthusiasm for the game and that is why I expect him to one day go into coaching and management.

So with the passion he has for his country, it really wouldn’t surprise me if, in the future, he became Wales manager.

Craig should feel proud of what he has achieved for his country — and I fully expect him to be there for them again at some stage.

I'd love to see Joey Barton on Sky or whatever.

Christ he's thick. He wants a dictator 'because at least he'd be accountable'. He thinks someone like Dyke can just decide what he wants to do at home and abroad and he'll be able to do it. He should scrap reading Nietzsche and start reading Max Weber, the whopper.

[article=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2458545/Peter-Schmeichel-Sheffield-United-Manchester-United-legend-refuses-rule-Blades-job.html]Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel has refused to rule out taking over from David Weir as manager of Sheffield United.

The former goalkeeper has been linked with the vacant job after Weir was handed his marching orders on Friday.

Schmeichel, who has completed his coaching badges, insists he has not applied for the position at Bramall Lane, with the Blades rooted to the foot of League One, but appeared to express his interest in replacing Weir on his official Twitter account.

'This is not my doing. I have not applied for any jobs, wrote Schmeichel on Monday in reference to the reports. He then added: 'It's great to be associated with such a great football club.'

Nigel Clough, Russell Slade and Stuart McCall are among the front runners to replace Weir.

The Blades are believed to have put their options in place before axing Weir after just 10 league games in charge. Clough is out of work and open to a speedy return after his surprise dismissal by Derby.

His footballing pedigree matches the philosophy United put in place with Weir, only to eject their sixth boss in as many years.

Clough has the experience first timer Weir lacked & also served an apprenticeship lower down with Burton Albion.

[article=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2442626/The-Footballers-Football-Column--Danny-Murphy-I-offer-Premier-League-club.html]I have started my coaching badges. I am on level B at the moment and I am nearly finished with that. Sometimes you think these courses aren’t that great, and people do dismiss them as classroom rubbish, but I’ve found the experience of being around top-class coaches and looking at the game from this new perspective fantastic.

Long term, I’d like to manage. I am not somebody who thinks I could walk straight in and be good. The best managers I have had have been good coaches. At the top level it’s largely managing egos and personalities, but I want to be good at coaching.[/article]

[article=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11863/8982400/former-ac-milan-defender-alessandro-nesta-announces-retirement]Former AC Milan and Lazio defender Alessandro Nesta has revealed he will retire later this week.

The 37-year-old, who is currently playing for Montreal Impact, has decided to hang up his boots when the 2013 Major League Soccer season concludes next week.

The 2006 World Cup winner has confirmed he plans to move into coaching once he finishes playing.

"I want to get into coaching," said Nesta.

"We'll see what level, but I feel that it's something that I can do.

"I plan to rest for a couple of months before learning the trade."

Nesta started his career with his hometown club Lazio before he joined AC Milan in 2002 where he won two UEFA Champions League titles.

The central defender joined Montreal in 2012 and he has made 31 appearances for the Canadian outfit.[/article]

He said: "Joey's ability surprised me. I thought he was a character and a good player but working with him day in, day out, he was a talisman for the club.

"He's a big inspiration for QPR on and off the field.

When he came back from Marseille, he embraced what was happening at QPR and wanted to be part of it.

"He gets the abuse and stick but he takes it away from everyone else. He was a pleasure to work with. He was always wanting to know things. He's intelligent and is thinking of going into coaching and managing.

"Joey will be interesting as a manager. He was very interested in that."[/article]

George Boateng
[article=http://www.todayonline.com/sports/football/boateng-eyes-s-league-opportunity]On the cusp of his 38th birthday, a still sprightly George Boateng sprints half the field — from the centre circle into the penalty box — to meet a perfectly floated cross, heading in a 90th-minute goal that sealed a 2-1 away victory for T-Team over Johor Darul Takzim in a Malaysia Cup group match in August.

It is enshrined in cyberspace.

“That goal kept our chances alive for the quarter-finals, and I can’t think of a better example (of why I continue to play),” said Boateng yesterday when he met the media here.

“As a player, even at my age, that’s what you live for ... just for that very moment. I don’t live to sign a multi-million pound contract, I’ve had that. I live for that moment of success, when you shine ... the moment when you know that the hard work has paid off.”

On a private visit to Singapore, Boateng admitted he is on the lookout for an opportunity to move south, with his year-long contract with Terengganu Malaysian Super League side T-Team due to expire at the end of this month.

But Boateng, who shot to fame with Dutch side Feyenoord at the age of 18, before spending 13 seasons in the English Premier League with Coventry City, Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and Hull City, was quick to dispel the notion that he is seeking one final big pay day with the S-League.

“If I would get a job here in Singapore, it’s not because of money,” said Boateng, who has four international caps for the Netherlands and played in the 2006 UEFA Cup final for Middlesbrough against Sevilla.

“It’s because of the driving force within me that I want to achieve something. Make no mistake, I’m only going to use this as a step-up and I guarantee you in the next five years I’m going to be a Premier League manager.”

Boateng secured his UEFA “A” coaching licence last month, and with his playing career winding down, the Dutchman is open to the idea of being a manager or player-coach here.

He said: “I think I have something that I can contribute to the S-League, in terms of experience and quality that I have and bring with me. And it’s always nice to embrace another culture, and it’s always good to add value to the country.”

"I buy into Johan Cryuff's philosophy that if we have the ball, the opponent can't score, so possession is key. We Dutch people can't defend for our lives, we defend by attacking", he said

[Judge Jules]

He's a bright guy. I reckon he has a chance of making it as a manager if he gets the right opportunity.
