Frank Farina

　Hi, how are you??

sorry I'm really busy working thesedays. Pre-season training is around the corner but actually I've been out of practice lately...

Anyway, yesterday I met one of the most famous soccer coach in Australia. His name is 'Frank Farina'.
I know most of my blog audience doen't know much of anything about him but in Australia, it's more difficult to find someone who does't know well about him because he used to direct australian national sccer team for as much as 5 years as a top coach before World Cup 2006 in German.

He was dismissed his position due to his team's poor result at that time. And after that, Guus Hiddink, who the world standard Dutch coach took up the post and he led his team to best 16 teams in World cup at all.

He also had been directed a professional soccer club in A-league for a couple years but unfortunately he got sacked because of his poor performance and his personal trouble in private. he was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol during the soccer season. Thats why the team leaders who Frank Farina had belonged to couldn't help but find a better coach than him.

Anyway, I was glad to see him and have a real coversation with him.

Thanks, boss!!






　どうもっす！！

　更新頻度が落ち込んでますが、忙しくて週１が今のところ限界です。。


　で、昨日ですね、かなり興奮すること出来事がありました。うちの仕事先のボスに連れられ、サッカーの知人を紹介するといわれ、仕事が終わってついていったら、な、な、なんと。。「フランク・ファリーナ（frank farina）」が！！

　たぶん知ってる人少ないやろうけど、この人は1999～2005年までのオーストラリア代表監督をやってた人で、'05年に解任されて、その後就任したのが、あのフース・ヒディング（韓国をW杯ベスト４に導き、'06ドイツW杯では、日本を初戦で倒し、見事ベスト１６入りさせた世界的名将）。


　そしてこの前まで、Aリーグのブリスベン・ロアっていうオーストラリアのプロチームの監督をされてた、オーストラリアのサッカー界では知らぬ人はおらんくらいの人。


　その他にも、名前は忘れてしまったけど、現役時代マンチェスターUでやってた人もいたし、元ブラジル代表の方もいました。

　なんか普通のゴルフクラブで飲んでたから、全然凄みなかったけど。笑

　
　ただ、うちのボス、半端ない人脈もってんなと感心してしまったのが一番悔しかったね。。笑


　けど、いい経験さしてもらった一日でした。


　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ではでは！！
