South American Managers in Asia

[watt]

There is an enormous amount of South American managers/coaches that managed Asian teams with a lot of success (both at club and national level).

Can we investigate which Asians teams have/had high profile coaches how succesful they are/were and maybe compile a bit of a list of managers MVFC could look into once Merrick's ontract run out?

Just to get the ball rolling:

Osvaldo Ardiles managed in Japan and was even chosen J.league manager of the year (not sure which year, a long time ago)

Pohang Steelers manager is Sergio Farias from Brazil.
Kashima Antlers manager is Oswaldo de Oliveira from Brazil.

ANY foreign manager would do. Someone mentioned Holger Osieck; I think he'd be great here, we have a lot in common with the Urawa Reds.

just trawling thru wiki on the J-League:

Kashima: currently http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswaldo_de_Oliveira

Are you entire sure you don't mean SEPAHAN? :lol1:

[watt]

Yeah that.

I know nothing about Iranian clubs.

[mateinone]

neither do we

Shanghai Shenhua from memory when they played adelaide, had a Urgugain manager, i remember cos he was in trouble for importing dud countrymen to play for the team

[mulhollanddrive]

I think this task is above the MV board (not this board, the real one).

They are FFA pre 2005.

He would be one coach I would really love to have at Melbourne. I dont think he's being paid too much at Sepahan either, but we might need to break the bank to get him.

There is a lot of South American coaches in Asia, but most are concentrated in the J-league or the Middle East. These areas have traditionally drawn upon South American talent to harness their domestic development in the game, something Australia has rarely, if ever done before.

At the present moment i think Oswaldo de Oliveira and Jorvan Viera are about the two best coaches in Asia.

Here are some south american coaches in other leagues:
- Paulo Autuori de Mello - Al-Rayyan Sports Club. He has a few honours to his name, most notably he won the Copa Libertadores with Cruzerio and won the FIFA Club World Championship with Sao Paulo.

- Marcos Paquetá - Al-Gharafa. Coached Saudi's in the 2006 World Cup and in 2003 won the U-17 and U-20 championships as coach of Brazil.
