Comments on: Poor Berti Vogts … http://scotland.theoffside.com/scotland-premier/poor-berti-vogts.html Just another WordPress weblog Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:42:42 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Burger http://scotland.theoffside.com/scotland-premier/poor-berti-vogts.html#comment-4496 Burger Fri, 25 Jan 2008 22:52:51 +0000 http://scotland.theoffside.com/scotland-premier/poor-berti-vogts.html#comment-4496 The article is spot on: B.V. is a crap. In fact he was a crap player too. He could ever only tackle and kick the ball out of touch. Subsequently he was told to get the ball and pass it to Günter Netzer as quickly as possible. On the odd occasion when he did manag to cross the halfway line he was lost and needed a map. His coaching is no different. He got the sack where ever he went. Love to see him at Tottenham. And for the the recommendation of Klinsmann to the German FA. Living in LA Klinsmann was the only colleague being far enough away from him not to get irritated.

So probably he should just assign coaches and enjoy his retirement. But in defense of his Nigeria job: he won two lost one I think. You can't yet judge if he is a good or bad coach for Nigeria even though he certainly failed in Scotland. And the whole Nigerian FA is just a mess. They didn't pay the flight tickets of all the players who then had to pay them themselves, there was a similar problem with the hotel bill, the hotel was full with cockroaches, Vogts doesn't get paid on time either. It's difficult to motivate players that earn their money in the European top leagues to take such a step backwards and deal with all the chaos. But probably a football coach in Africa also has to be able to deal with this and on there you might be right that Vogts probably should just let it go.
