Although the tournament has not started, but once known groups and fighting each of the teams participating in this new season, the engines roar and Champions League in the bowels of European football. Mourinho, Ancelotti Guardiola are among the winners of the last decade on the bench, as they once were forest or Hitzfeld, and Sacchi and Ernst Happel if we look back even. All these European experts, none of South America. While football players across the pond have been key elements in many of the teams that reached the glory, the coaches have not had the same fate. Specifically, 46 years have passed since the Argentine Helenio Herrera won his second European Cup with Inter Milan.
Specifically, only two South American coaches lifted the coveted trophy in European football at club level: Luis Carniglia with Real Madrid in 1958 and 1959 and the aforementioned Helenio Herrera (picture) with Inter in 1964 and 1965. Another was about: in 2000 and 2001, the Argentinean Hector Cuper led Valencia to two finals. Carniglia without detracting from, the truth is that Real Madrid of Di Stefano and Gento seemed about unstoppable, and then we have to Helenio Herrera and Hector Cuper, two technicians whose libretto emphasizes the defensive fort, the strategic importance and the collective game. It is no accident: they are doctrines not marry too much with the customs of South American football. Neither better nor worse, just different.
This is not football match or evaluate what is best. The global and intercontinental is setting show that South America is perfectly capable of winning the European football. But in the championship before us, the Champions League, the technicians were not so fortunate. Even in the regular tournament. Importantly, did not always have the opportunity or the European teams often rely on coaches of the continent, in fact, this year will not start either the Champions League, not the previous year. It would be like saying European coaches do not win the Libertadores. But when they had the opportunity nor the advantage, even if it was important to the reputation that preceded them.
You could say that the last people had great options were the Chilean Pellegrini with Real Madrid and Brazilian Scolari at Chelsea, but none of them was lucky none of their clubs. Other technical unlucky American prestige in Europe were Parreira, who after winning the 1994 World Cup with Brazil turned unsuccessfully to Valencia, and Bianchi, the Viceroy, an institution in Argentina, who beat Real Madrid in the Intercontinental with that mouth Riquelme and Palermo, which went out the back door of Calderon, the same reason they paraded Colombian Maturana or Argentina Alfio Basile Coco.
Menotti had a good first year in Barcelona, when in 1983 he won the Cup, League Cup and Super Cup, but the second was a disaster. His time at Atletico in the 87-88 was a fiasco. His archenemy, Bilardo, just sat on the bench in the ranks of European Sevilla, but fortune did not smile as he did the Hand of God in 1986. Valdano did a great job in Tenerife and Real Madrid returned to the league championship after the supremacy of the Dream Team, but not so lucky in the UEFA and the following year, no technician was fired just won the South American competition, but did win Alfredo Di Stefano Cup Winners' Cup in Valencia in 1980 -. This season will see how things are going to Bielsa, Athletic, Espanyol in 1998 his adventure was not lucky. Of note was the Spanish league, thanks to language, that has relied on American's most prestigious technical.
The differences are remarkable between South American and European football, and what works here does not have to do it there, or vice versa. South American football has more pause is less dynamic and not physical prmto that. It relies more on the individual concerned. More prevalent in Europe tactical, physical strength, defensive solidity and the collective. The coaches are evident in their notebooks these guidelines and how they work is focused in those directions.
In the coming years we will see if a technician returns to South America to lift the Champions League in his day and made Carniglia and Helenio Herrera.
