Coaching Education Dept: If ever there was a benchmark for the consequence of the lack of these coaching components it was displayed by Diego Maradona and Dunga in this year’s World Cup, in shock exits of the two supposed soccer giants. The men were hired as national coaches of Argentina and Brazil, respectively, with little or no previous coaching/management experience, according to Globe And Mail. Brazil's shock capitulation to Holland – where it conceded two second-half set-play goals – highlighted a lack of experience by Dunga. When such overt complacency kicks in it points directly to the coach, who clearly did not anticipate what could happen. Brazil's second-half performance was lethargic, complacent and riddled with mistakes. As a result, Dunga has been fired and but any successful team also has to have a well-balanced manager whose methods represent management artistry. And the only way to develop this ability is to gain extensive experience and coaching education. Lets forget the first four games Argentina played and focus on the game that really mattered. The quarter-final against Germany where the Albicelestes were embarrassingly outplayed and outcompeted, indicated Maradona got it completely wrong and showed a tactical naivety that only comes from a lack of coaching experience, education or just plain lack of talent. With Maradona, it was a combination of all three. As
reported in the news.
