My Choice for Liverpool’s Next Manager
When Roy Hodgson “leaves” the team whether it is soon or next season (I have a feeling that he will be staying for this season unless the team continues losing), my replacement would be Andre Villas Boas.
Andre Villas Boas is in his first year manager at FC Porto, and he is only 33. He is right now undefeated with Porto and the team look set into winning the Portuguese League. He is a guy that has no professional football playing experience and was once an assistant for Jose Mourinho. Some people consider him the next Mourinho. The slight problem is that he does not have much managing experience except for this year, and he just recently extended his contract at Porto until 2013. However, contracts kind of meaningless in today’s football world. If NESV wants a young, tactical manager, Andre Villas Boas is a very good choice.
