maccaliam Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I guess our youth coaches are too good to bother attending something like this. Interesting to note that, at least, some of the participant coaches had difficult organizing a practice with a group of kids. http://www.fifa.com/u20worldcup/news/newsid=2129270/index.html To be fair, it was a regional course for European youth coaches to exchange ideas not a worldwide one, so CSA coaches weren't eligible to attend.

DigzTFC Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Found this interesting: http://www.goal.com/en-sg/news/3883/features/2013/02/27/3747374/one-on-one-benito-floro-i-nearly-became-spains-coach One of the most highly respected coaches in Spain who commands the respect of his fellow colleagues, Benito Floro has always been rated as one of the very best in the business and is acknowledged as one of the fathers of Spanish football as we know it today. Referred to as “The Philosopher” due to his studious vision of the game, Floro’s career has taken him to Real Madrid, Japan and Mexico, and he was recently linked to the vacant Singapore national team post. “Fifty years ago in Spain, the federation created a school for coaches of the highest level with highly qualified instructors of the highest level in the three most important aspects of football - strategy, technical ability and physical preparation,” he explained. “Because of this, the standard of coaches in Spain is very high due to the difficulty levels of the coaching courses in Spain. “Sooner or later this had to yield its fruits, and people now understand that it is much better to play an attacking combination game instead of say, counter-attacks or long ball attacks.” “A coach has two important missions: teach his players to improve on an individual basis daily and also to teach his team to play whatever way they need to, on any kind of pitch, in any kind of circumstances to obtain the desired result," he asserted. “After the European Championship in Portugal, the coach [saez] resigned and he became director of football, and he recommended [to the FA] that I became the new head coach of Spain," he said. “He recommended me due to my vision of the game and [how] my playing style fit in well with the way the youth teams were being prepared, which was the main reason for the massive success of the Spanish national team. “But unfortunately, due to circumstances that were beyond my control at that time, it was not possible.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Future CanWNT Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I got an email from the OSA recently saying that they were running a somewhat similar course to the one in Turkey for youth coaches in Ontario. Can't remember all the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFC07 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 http://www.marca.com/2013/07/04/futbol/futbol_internacional/1372928250.html Benito Floro? Not sure how credible Marca is when comes to rumours, but this will be interesting hire for Canada. I am not sure Floro can be successful as a manager for national team, but I think he will lay some sort of foundation and plan for CSA which in the long term we will benefit from. On a side note, Bob De Klerk is interested in developing young Canadian talent.

Joe MacCarthy Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Report: Former Real Madrid manager Benito Floro to coach Canadian national team TORONTO - The Canadian Press Jul. 04 2013 A report in Spain says veteran Spanish manager Benito Floro will be Canada’s next men’s soccer coach. Marca, a Spanish national daily sports newspaper, says the 61-year-old Floro is Canada’s choice. Floro has a lengthy resume that includes managing Real Madrid from 1992 to 1994. Most recently he coached WAC (Wydad Athletic Club) Morocco. Canada has been without a full-time coach since Stephen Hart stepped down last fall following the national team’s exit from World Cup qualifying. Colin Miller is currently serving as acting coach at the Gold Cup. The Canadian Soccer Association plans a major announcement at a news conference Friday. An association spokesman declined comment on the Marca report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
