don't know but I DO care! MS, please provide some achievements if any and ask FA, the factor behind the appointment. Is it based on merit, affordability or something else? It'd be interesting to find out what the coach's first and long-term plans are.

Clearly not FAM's first choice. Or second choice...or third. They went to McMenemy, Stoichkov and Booth. In the end their haggling and stalling meant that those 3 gentlemen ran out of patience and FAM, under increasing pressure from the fans decided to go with the remaining option. Nevertheless, I would like to say welcome aboard to Mr. Mamic. We fans will be following your work with the national team closely. Hope to see a very fruitful tenure from your part.
