Day Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Oscar Garcia has been appointed to the newly created role of head coach of Brighton & Hove Albion. Garcia's immediate task will be to oversee pre-season training. The 40-year-old will take up his new post on Thursday morning. He said, "I am delighted to have the opportunity to work in English football for the first time. Brighton & Hove Albion is one of the most exciting and progressive clubs in the country." Chairman Tony Bloom welcomed Oscar to the club, saying, "We are delighted to have Oscar here to help us prepare for the new season and plan what promises to be another exciting campaign for the club." In an illustrious playing career Garcia played for Barcelona and Valencia amongst others, before stepping into coaching as youth coach at the Nou Camp. His first senior role was as manager of Maccabi Tel Aviv, and in his first season at the club guided the Israeli side to their first league title win in a decade. http://www.seagulls.co.uk/news/article/garcia-appointed-head-coach-881973.aspx#LTsFsZTvXGVovQdR.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianRam Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Stupid question maybe but what's the difference between a manager and head coach? Head coaches, coach the team and picks them, whilst the manager does this also has a say in player recuritment etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefer a manager myself, too many chefs in the kitchen and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North_Stand_Ram Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Totally unproven in the English game. Managing in the Spanish second division and the Israeli league. Sure, ex Barca and all that, but I can see Brighton doing worse next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I can't remember the last time a manager came into this division with little to no knowledge of this division and did well. All the current managers have been brought up in and around the english game at the very least. Henning Berg - flopped Stale Solbakken - flopped, incredibly Steve McClaren - flopped Sven - flopped Sousa - poor for QPR, half decent for swansea and flopped incredibly at leicester Martinez - done a good job Jan Poortvielt - flopped, Mark Wotte - flopped Luigi De Canio - flopped and yeah - we will see, if bris is correct i look forward to good and winning football from brighton, as opposed to our poor and losing football.

Keith Hill at Barnsley with his 25.68 win percentage, even Nigel has a 32.88 win percentage I forget who it was that rated Hill highly, it will come to me soon....

I knew he played for Wigan, but didn't research the other bit. I just remember him on la liga show on sky before getting the managers job, thought it was mental at the time!
