Del Bosque in charge

July 16th, 2008 | By: elisa | 7 Comments »

Harmony in the dressing room, mild mannered disposition, free flowing joga bonito, team building expertise, dynamic ball control. These are all qualities that describe Vicente Del Bosque as a Manager. This is what he will bring to the National Team.

The 58 year old will be announced officially this week. He is used to pressure from his Galactico Days at Real Madrid. His trophy case collection is something to be proud of: Intercontinental Cup, La Liga, Champions League, Super Cup all with Zizou, Raul, Figo, Hierro, Makelele and Ronaldo. Talk about your egos. And he is a very good friend of Fernando Hierro, numero uno at the RFEF.

Del Bosque has stated that he will not change too much, “If it ain’t broke…”. In fact he will utilize the same starting 11 that won the European cup vs Germany. La Furia’s next game is Aug 20th, a friendly against Denmark. Some big shoes to fill, but I trust Del Bosque will do the right thing and lead us to greatness.

But benitez wont leave liverpool…,let him continue there, some day he’ll take over and we know the rest. Vicente del Bosque is perfect, ive spoken to him in a few occasions and the man is very knowleadgable, his record is impecable and the only reason many arent too fond is because he’s been out of the spotlight for a while.

Porky….vicente del bosque is just as appropriate for us as your midget, booth tanned fake teeth shit grinned berlusconi represents your people : )

I am excited to see how we do under Del Bosque. I’m excited just for our future in general! Viva Espana! Viva La Furia Roja!

I think Del Bosque is the perfect choice, that is if Aragones has other plans and no longer wants to stay.. Before the Euro this year I always wondered if Del Bosque would one day coach the national team as he did a great job with Real Madrid.. Benitez is very good too, but let’s let him stay in Liverpool for a while and build up more experience, and one day I’m sure he too will be appointed national coach.. and yes I think Raul should be included if he continues to play like last season, as I think Aragones got a little caught out in the final against Germany with Villa injured, and was lucky Torres played good for once as he didn’t play that great in the previous games..
