Jorvan Vieira wanted by Japan...but not Australia.

Seems Japan have contacted Jorvan Vieira in case they need a coach to take over from Ivica Osim who is currently in hospital recovering from illness.

Australia haven't been in touch.

Why? Does Vieira have too much Asia experience. He's won Asian International trophies, been to World Cups, speaks many languages, and is culturally aware. Fits my bill.

Vieira is just travelling the World watching football at the moment. He has no club.

Surely with Vieira free you think he would be considered now the Dick has done the dash.

Apparently not!

good morning. the lack of interest in vieara - (i guess i probably spelt that wrong) is a bit alarming. whilst not a perfect candidate, neither is anyone else, and he should be near the top of the list. taking iraq to asian champion status is a hell of an achievement.

i have got a feeling that when the coach is finally chosen, i`ll roll my eyes and run to somebody`s footy blog and start complaining.
i found baan`S comment that klinsmann was the only coach around with the `necessary quality` quite strange.

i am a bit worried about the whole NT coach issue - are football people going to pick a coach based on footballing criteria? i think we will get a footballing `name` to coach our premier league `names`. which probably means playing below our potential and getting to the second round with the second spot, then making it to the world cup via a playoff with new zealand. a very shaky campaign.

`new soccer` is starting to look a bit like `old soccer`. like the end of the book animal farm when the animals can`t tell the pigs from the humans ...
