[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 599892, member: 48703"] Unfortunate that not a single win could be managed in the RC. But it was indicative of his reign as coach. In hindsight a more experienced coach should have been appointed for the post RWC 2007 transition period, but he really shouldn't have been maintained after the 2011 World Cup in my opinion. He generally seemed to be always hesitant, confused and a few matches too slow with his tactics and selections, he lost to every Tier 1 nation. Including home losses to Italy and Scotland, which to be frank isn't good enough unless Argentina have ambitions to sink back into the mediocrity they were for most of the 1990's. Daniel Hourcade will take over as caretaker in November, which is probably sensible as a coach who is essentially sacked and just waiting for a contract to run out normally loses authority and teams suffer.
