GIOVANNI TRAPATTONI IS reportedly set to turn down the chance to get back into club management with Lazio.
The Serie A side are using the Christmas break to scout for coaches to replace the under pressure Vladimir Petkovic. Lazio are languishing at 10th in the table at present and lost 4-1 to Verona in their last match before the festive break.
Sky Sport Italia are reporting that the former Ireland boss, who has also coached Fiorentina and Juventus, is the prime candidate to steady the ship. The Italian broadcaster states that contact has been made with Trapattoni.
The 74-year-old, however, is not said to be keen to return to the day-to-day activities of club management. Trapattoni is seeking out work with national teams and has set his sights on getting involved with a country competing at the World Cup next summer.
Earlier this month, the Italian told Gazzaetta dello Sport: “I’ve had offers to close the season with club sides, but I’m not a stop-gap boss. I’m evaluating a number of offers. I’ll certainly sit on the bench of a national side again because I’m too young for a desk job. I could even be at the World Cup.”
That’s a hilarious response?
Really?
Not much sport on I suppose, gotta write about something.
Ah it was just meant in jest as a bit of banter don’t lose any sleep over it
@Chris Finn:
Not having a go at Rory – harmless banter indeed. He’s not holding himself out to be a modern day Oscar Wilde!
I’d prefer if the titles were “please keep clicking during Christmas, we’re sorry we don’t have stories”.
Merger with Joe.ie going well.
These morons are earning too much money!!
‘Perfect response’ from perfect Rory Mop head…wake me up when you get a personality!!
Just cracked the screen on my phone after dropping it, I was laughing so hard at McIlroy’s hilarious response. Such a kidder
What a put-down! Rory “I’m not Irish” McIlroy has to be one of the greatest wits of our time. The worse thing for him from a commercial perspective would be a revitalised Tiger in 2017, competing for all those lucrative sponsorship deals, even if he doesn’t win any more majors.
Hard to believe Tiger Woods sleeping with all those porn stars, stripers, waitresses and prostitutes…….
No comments on Tigers massive areolae? Eh hem…
