MANAGERS WHO DID NOT KNOW THELANGUAGE

Over the years clubs all over the world ,have had managers of clubs who did not know the language spoken by the players. We shall look at some of them.
1 SIR BOBBY ROBSON.
Sir Bobby Robson was once appointed as the coach of the Portugeese club F.C.PORTO. And he realised he had a mager problem as the players did not understand him. He then appointed a person who knew both english and portugeese. The person was JOSE MOURHINO,to be the interpreter. And it worked that year PORTO won the title and did it the following year as well.
But as the relation between F.C. BARCELONA and CHELSEA have always been bad and they often clash at some stage in the chamion league. And when CHELSEA visit Barcelona, Mr JOSE MOURHINO is always taunted at the airport as the TRANSLATOR this name hasstuck to him.

2 JUANDE RAMOS.
In the 2007 2008 E P L season the English club were doing very badly and were slipping down to the relegation area . For proud club TOTNEMHOTSPUR the fans cold not think of it to fall from the top ten to the lower end was unthincable. After an emergency meeting The coach Martin Joyl was sacked and the Spaniard Juande Ramos was brought from the Spanish club Sevilla They even brought out his contract with the club.
But the trouble started at once Juande Ramos did not know english. But the club acted fast so desperate were the club for results. TOTNEM HOTSPUR appointed a Urugayan named GUSTAVO POYET Aformer footballer who played for both Chelsea and Totnemhotspur to be the translater.The result was quick ,they won games and are doing well this season.
