Novi menadžer Čelsija bez licence
 


Novi menadžer Čelsija Izraelac Avram Grant nema potrebnu licencu koju izdaje UEFA, tako da će u početku posao obavljati najverovatnije uz specijalnu dozvolu, kako bi mogao da vodi klub više od 12 nedelja, tvrdi Bi Bi Si, pozivajuči se na izvore u Čelsiju.

Prema pravilima UEFA i Premijer lige svi menadžeri klubova Premijer lige moraju da poseduju profesionalne licence.

Dobijanje licence, odnosno dozvole za rad, obiman je posao koji zahteva najmanje godinu dana. Ipak, Grant verovatno neće imati problema te prirode, s obzirom da u fudbalskoj prošlosti elitnog fudbalskog takmičenja u Engleskoj bilo slučajeva rada bez ove licence. BBC navodi primere kao što su Glen Roder, Geret Sautgejt i Martin O' Nil.

Jose Mourinho's reign at Chelsea ended emotionally, with warm
dressing-room embraces for 23 of his players - and a cold handshake
for Andriy Shevchenko and skipper John Terry. His departure, though,
was a long time coming. Duncan Castles reports

Sunday September 23, 2007
The Observer

Tuesday, 10pm, home dressing room, Stamford Bridge. Andriy Shevchenko
is taking Michael Essien to task on his performance in the night's
embarrassing 1-1 draw with Rosenborg. The former European footballer
of the year tells Africa's finest midfielder that he tried to make too
many passes through the centre of the Norwegians' formation where '70
percent of their players were'. Essien learns he should have been
passing to the wings 'where they only had 30 percent of their men'.

Not the most insightful of tactical advice, but then these are not the
thoughts of a Ukraine international, they are those of a Russian
billionaire. Standing beside Shevchenko, tactics board in hand, Roman
Abramovich is the man telling Essien how to play football. Shevchenko
is merely there to translate. In another room, attending to the press,
Mourinho is utterly unaware of his employer's actions.
Tuesday, 7:11pm, the home dressing room. Chelsea's squad of 18 are
called out for their pre-match warm up. All the players step out for
the carefully prepared drill - except one. John Terry remains sitting
where he is. One of Jose Mourinho's assistants urges Terry out.
Chelsea's captain refuses, swears, and, according to an eye witness,
says he is upset and has 'things on my mind'. Terry is said to be
furious after finding out that Mourinho had been asking in Chelsea's
treatment room whether there was a medical reason for his perceived
loss of form over recent weeks. The stand-off continues until a
team-mate cajoles his friend out on to the pitch.

The game starts, Chelsea quickly lose a goal at a free kick as Miika
Koppinen stretches ahead of Terry to turn in a near-post cross.
Chelsea go in at half time 1-0 down and Jose Mourinho takes his
captain to task, blaming the defender for the deficit. Terry says
nothing but all his team-mates can see the anger on his face.

The pair had once been the closest of footballing allies, but within
24 hours Mourinho is no longer Terry's manager as Chelsea agree to a
£10.5million pay-off to rid themselves of a man they describe as 'the
most successful manager the club has known'.

'The relationship broke down not because of one detail or because of
something that happened at a certain moment. It broke down over a
period of time.' - Jose Mourinho, 21 September 2007.

To understand how the winner of two Premier League titles, two League
Cups and one FA Cup, a man who averaged an unprecedented 2.33 points
from his 120 Premiership games in just over three seasons, steadily
became persona non grata at the club he made great, it is necessary to
return to the summer of 2005.

'In Jose's first season everything was fine,' said a Chelsea employee
who suffered the Abramovich guillotine long before the Portuguese. 'He
came in, he won the title by miles, almost made the Champions League
final, everyone was happy. But then it all began to go wrong. Peter
Kenyon started thinking it was his genius as a chief executive that
was important. Abramovich's mates were telling him his money had done
it and any half-decent coach would win the league with those
resources. They forgot that the most important man at any club is the
manager.'

That summer, Chelsea poached Tottenham Hotspur's sporting director
Frank Arnesen at a cost of £5m. Ostensibly recruited to revolutionise
the club's sub-standard youth ranks, the Dane was actually brought in
on the recommendation of Piet de Visser, a well-known Dutch talent
scout who had advised Abramovich on football matters from his first
months as Chelsea owner.

Arnesen and De Visser, friends and allies from their time together at
Dutch club PSV Eindhoven, steadily worked to influence Abramovich's
thinking on the first team, and, most importantly, player recruitment.
Along with the agents Soren Lerby, Vlado Lemeic and Pini Zahavi they
sought to steer Abramovich towards the purchase of certain
footballers. Their objective, according to one source, was 'to get to
Abramovich's money. To do that they needed power at the club, needed a
manager who would do what they wanted. Mourinho was not that manager.'

Thus emerged a power struggle in which Arnesen and others seemed to
undermine Mourinho by questioning him at every opportunity. When
Mourinho went to war with Uefa over the actions of referees they told
Abramovich his coach was embarrassing the club. When Mourinho's team
dourly won key matches by a goal to nil, they told the owner a better
coach would win by more goals and bring him far more flamboyant
football. When a Mourinho signing failed to perform on the pitch, they
told Abramovich that better players could be found elsewhere.

Within a year, and despite Mourinho's success in claiming a second
successive Premiership, the manager had lost control of transfers. In
the 2006 summer window, Mourinho asked the board to buy Samuel Eto'o;
they spent a UK record £30m on Shevchenko. Chelsea sold William Gallas
to Arsenal against Mourinho's wishes, and forced the £7m Khalid
Boulahrouz upon him, while Arnesen compounded the error of allowing
Chelsea's most effective defender to leave the club by pulling the
plug on the £5m purchase of Micah Richards. Inside a season Richards
was a full England international, while Boulahrouz was stinking out
the reserves until Chelsea paid Sevilla to take him off their hands.

At least Mourinho could easily leave the Dutch defender out of the
first team. A personal friend of Abramovich's, Shevchenko played
regardless of his performances, and those were usually awful. In his
first 26 appearances for Chelsea, the Ukrainian striker scored five
goals. His coaches and team-mates often felt as though Chelsea were
playing with 10 men and Mourinho was faced with a problem - should he
leave out the owner's pal or lose the faith of the rest of the team?

As January approached, Mourinho asked to be allowed to sign a new
striker. The board refused. Mourinho asked for a centre-back to cover
for Terry, then sidelined with a serious back problem. The board
offered him a choice between Alex, a Brazilian bought via De Visser
and 'parked' at PSV for two seasons, and Tal Ben Haim, a Zahavi
client. Mourinho wanted neither.

Worse still, Chelsea's manager was instructed to sack one of his
assistants and add the Israeli Avram Grant to his coaching staff. When
he refused, the club descended into open warfare.

Mourinho dropped Shevchenko from his first team, leaking the story to
a national newspaper in an open challenge to Abramovich to sack him.
On an emotional afternoon at Stamford Bridge the manager first rallied
his team around him, then sent them out to overrun Wigan 4-0. Long
before kick-off the Chelsea supporters were chanting 'Stand up for the
Special One' through standing ovation after standing ovation.

An infuriated Abramovich ceased attending games and instructed his
advisors to find a replacement coach. Mourinho let it be known that he
would leave, but only on payment of the outstanding value of his
contract - about £28m comprising £5.2m per annum for three-and-a-half
years and up to £10m in bonuses. In the meantime he kept winning
matches, pushing his injury-hit squad to within a few games of a
remarkable quadruple.

Ultimately Chelsea won the League Cup and the FA Cup, forcing
Abramovich to reconcile with his manager. A consciously 'mellow'
Mourinho promised to avoid conflict with opposing managers and
football authorities, accepted restrictions on his transfer budget,
and reshaped his team in a more flamboyant 4-4-2 formation. Fatefully,
he also acceded to the appointment of Grant as Chelsea's director of
football.

Though some in Mourinho's camp had Grant pinned as a 'Mossad Spy' from
the off, the manager attempted to work with him, holding long meetings
with him during the club's staggeringly positive pre-season US tour
and letting it be known that he welcomed his arrival as a buffer
against Arnesen and route to Abramovich. The early-season optimism,
however, swiftly evaporated.

Grant began calling individual players aside to ask them questions.

'You look sad, why?' 'How do you feel in this position?' 'Is this the
best place for you to play?' 'Are we using your abilities well?'
Because many of them complained about this to Mourinho, the manager
decided to cut back radically on team meetings, the only one this
season having been arranged for the Jewish New Year when Grant had
returned to Israel.

While Grant looked on at training, Shevchenko treated it with disdain.
A morose, lonely figure around the camp, he seemed to show more
interest in improving his golf swing than his shooting. As the first
team prepared for their final pre-season friendly against Danish side
Brondby, Shevchenko declared himself unfit with a back problem. A 2-0
victory ensured the £121,000-a-week striker was not missed, but
Mourinho was bemused to discover that Shevchenko's bad back had not
prevented him from enjoying a round of golf at Sunningdale that day.

The board, though, were not interested and the club's descent
continued. Other players began to realise what was happening, that the
summer's peace was a false one, that their manager had no support from
the top. 'The mentality became weaker and weaker,' said one insider.
'You could feel the team's strength sapping away.'

Mourinho knew his time at Chelsea was coming to an end. At Uefa's
forum for elite coaches in Geneva a fortnight ago he allowed Premier
League rivals an insight into his thinking. 'Mourinho said he loved
Chelsea and he loved English football, but thought he would not stay
for long,' said one coach. 'One of us asked him why. He wouldn't
answer, but it was obvious something was seriously wrong.'

His next Champions League match brought the end. On Wednesday
afternoon the board asked Mourinho to resign, citing his handling of
Shevchenko, his attitude to authority and, crucially, his relationship
with Terry as reasons why he should go. Mourinho refused to walk, and
fought only to maximise his pay-off as Chelsea apparently threatened
to call club employees to testify against him at any employment
tribunal.

A £10.5m pay-off was agreed and the following morning Mourinho made a
final trip to the training centre at Cobham to pick up his possessions
and say goodbye to his squad. There was a message in each farewell.
For most there was a Latin embrace and warm words of thanks. For
Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard the emotions were so strong that both
men were reduced to tears, Lampard retreating to the shower room in an
attempt to hide his. For Shevchenko and Terry there was nothing but a
handshake that, in the words of one observer, could have 'frozen a mug
of tea'. No one was in any doubt about who he considered the true
captains of his team.

Out with the old, in with the new. Furious at Mourinho's dismissal,
senior players describe Grant's appointment as 'a disgrace'. Some at
Cobham call him 'an idiot' and describe his coaching techniques as '25
years behind the times'. Abramovich pushes the Israeli around 'without
a hint of respect'.

Former academy coach Brendan Rogers has been drafted in to help out
with the first team, a promotion that may not be unconnected to the
one-on-one training sessions he gave Abramovich's son. Only in Steve
Clarke is there the level of football knowledge to deal with a squad
full of international superstars. As the sole survivor of Mourinho's
cadre of four assistant managers, the Scotsman has an unenviable task.

But then neither he nor Grant will be picking the team. As Michael
Essien discovered on Tuesday night, the new manager of Chelsea is also
the owner.

                                         Abramovič želi Hiddinka i Ronaldinha

Nizozemac na čelu ruske nogometne reprezentacije, Guus Hiddink, u vlastitoj kolumni otkrio je da je imao poslovne kontakte s vlasnikom Chelseaja, Romanom Abramovičem, koji odavno želi dovesti Ronaldinha među svoje igrače.

Novi trener Chelseaja, piše Total Sport, Avram Grant nije kratkoročno rješenje. Štoviše, Izraelac će već ove zime dobiti višemilijunski budžet za pojačanja. Međutim, u bližoj će budućnosti morati raditi uz Guusa Hiddinka, donosi britanski tabloid Daily Mail u nogometnoj priči dana ove nedjelje.

U vlastitoj kolumni jednim nizozemskim novinama Guus Hiddink je otkrio kako je u Londonu, uoči kvalifikacijskog dvoboja Engleske i Rusije za Euro sljedeće godine, detaljno pregovarao Abramovičem.

"Imali smo vrlo dobar sastanak u Londonu. Ne želim zasad u detalje. Roman ima vrlo jasnu viziju o budućnosti nogometa. Situacije u Chelseaju neću se doticati ovaj put. Zadatak mi je plasirati se na Europsko prvenstvo s Rusijom. To je Romanu također vrlo važno", razotkrio je nizozemski trener u kolumni.

U Daily Mailu zaključuju kako će Avram Grant raditi samostalno izvjesno vrijeme. Plasira li se Rusija na EP, do srpnja sljedeće godine. Ne uspiju li Rusi, što se u ovom trenutku obzirom na prednost Hrvatske i Engleske doima vrlo teškom misijom, to znači da bi Hiddink na Stamford Bridge mogao preseliti već nakon posljednje kvalifikacijske utakmice u studenom.

Isti dnevnik piše kako je Abramovič odlučio čim više osobno se uključiti u vođenje Chelseaja, pri čemu će mu pomagati njegovi ljudi poput Granta, Franka Arnesena (vodi sekciju kluba za pojačanja i razvoj mladih igrača) i Pieta de Vissera (glavni skaut).

Prva i najveća Abramovičeva želja jest - Ronaldinho. Brazilca će iz Barcelone Abramovič ponovno pokušati dovesti u siječanjskome prijelaznom roku, piše Total Sport.

Ovaj duzi tekst na engleskom je stvarno odlican i sokantan!!
Stvarno mi je zao Murinja, i kao sto sam rekao i prije Abramovic je majmun covjek. On je klub kupio samo zbog zajebancije, ima sve u zivotu, pa ajde da ima i svjetski fudbalski klub, pravi je neprofesionalac i snob. Ma ustvari ne mogu sada da pisem sve gluposti o njemu, ovaj tekst sve govori, stvarno mi je zao Murinja.
Bice zlo i naopako ako dodje Hiddink!!

Avram Grant najavio pozitivan fudbal

Novi menadžer Čelsija Avram Grant je pred svoje "vatreno krštenje", derbi okršaj sa Mančester Junajtedom, najavio da će londonski tim ubuduće igrati pozitivan fudbal.

"Ja sam ličnost za sebe. Sve odluke u fudbalu sam donosio sam. Ako izgubimo, biće to moja krivica. Sa punim poštovanjem prema onome što je uradio Žoze Murinjo, želim da Čelsi do uspeha i trofeja stigne na moj način. Fudbal je i zabava. Moramo da pobedjujemo, ali moramo i da igramo pozitivan fudbal, za gol više", izjavio je Grant.

Čelsi se uoči derbija na Old Trafordu nalazi u seriji od tri utakmice bez pobede, pošto je izgubio od Aston Vile pa odigrao nerešeno sa Blekburnom i Rozenborgom. Grant se nada što bržem oporavku Frenka Lamparda i Didijea Drogbe, koji nisu nastupili na startu Lige šampiona.

Ni Mančester Junajted neće biti kompletan, pošto su povredjeni Silvestre, Geri Nevil, Hargrivs, Flečer, Park i O'Šej.

"Murinjov doprinos engleskom fudbalu i Premijer ligi je ogroman. Uživao sam u takmičenju sa njim. Ali mi i bez njega moramo biti potpuno koncentrisani na utakmicu, jer još uvek ispred sebe imamo Čelsi. To su još uvek isti igrači, koji sami po sebi predstavljaju izazov za svakog protivnika", smatra prvi stručnjak "crvenih djavola" Aleks Ferguson.
