I doubt money or footballing considerations were even a factor in his decision. Kluivert, Hiddink, now Advocatt. All within 3 ish years. Might be fronting up the cash but no one seems to stick very long. Kluivert and former Canada assistant manager Remko Bicentini have had two stints in the past 10 years and lasted a bit longer. Not sure they are in it for the right reasons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh Dick Advocaat is not a 'world class coach'. He used to be pretty good, but that was a couple of decades ago. gator, Admiral Murray, The Real Marc and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canadian media would have a field day with that!! I think you nailed it, there is no way we could get past it. Otherwise, a fine coach and would be a solid option. Though I am still bothered that he had Justin Smith on the bench for Nice so many games and never gave him a single first-team minute, it would not have been so hard.

Kadenge Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 The CSA needs to demonstrate that change at the director level President & General Secretary for starters, translates to competent decision making & tangible results rather than more of what has transpired over the past. Selecting & hiring the right manager for the CMNT will go a long way towards accomplishing that objective in the near term. With a possible COPA24 spot and WC26 at home, there are massive financial opportunities for the CSA to right the ship. Reaching a labour agreement with the players would be another key achievement.

Bigandy Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Im not sure why people are surprised that dutch coaches are willing to coach a dutch colony. Theres a huge influx of eredivise players, its an exciting project, it doesnt have to be super long term, its a great island. Trying to criticize the CSA because curacao can get advocaat and we cant is just wildly unfair. Its also wild to talk about the coaching wages being the reason we cant acquire a top coach. Top top coaches wouldnt want to coach a country like canada vs brazil. Next, herdman was 26/32 for wages at the WC. Hes gettting paid more than chris hughton who has about 500 games as a coach in the prem/chjampionship. Acquiring a top coach is not about money only. Theres also this sentiment that we are poor and will have to significantly reduce our pay to the coaches. Hedman was on about 500k in euros. Even if we cut that in half, we cannot afford to service our debt any better, hold mroe camps etc. Its just blind pessimism to suggest CSA will cut our coaching budget significantly as that is not a feasible strategy to solve our financial crisis.

If you are looking for who is responsible for that, look at who is responsible for managing the currency. Argentina has been a basket case for decades which is largely down to the continual economic mismanagement of the Peronists who have been mostly in power during that period and the fact the populace continually wants to live beyond their means. It’s a shame as its a beautiful country with staggering amounts of resources. There is no reason they couldn’t be as wealthy as Canada (and indeed, they were at one point about 80 or so years ago). But when you listen to people like Javier, I have very little hope for them. I am not saying Milei is the answer but they needed to do something radically different than what they were doing which has proven time and again to be disastrous for the country and the people.
