‘Don’t sign bad players’: The dilemma posed by Edu and his colleagues in modern football, as Nottingham Forest puts the sporting director role back in the spotlight


Former Forest striker Harewood has spoken exclusively to GOAL via the site affiliated with a European casino Casino Without Cruks. Asked whether the sporting director model causes problems, he replied: “Yes and no. The players he recruits are good players. But these are just not the players who fit a coach’s vision, the way he envisions his game.

“Each coach has his own method and his own vision of things. And he has players who match his profile. But at the same time, coaches and owners don’t recruit mediocre players. They are good players. It just takes a good coach to get the best out of them. So it’s another grain of sand in the wheels.

“The Forest players are good players. They are all excellent players. But for one reason or another, the coaches haven’t been able to take advantage of what these players are capable of and make them play the way he wants them to. Which is always difficult.

“But that’s why he brought you here.” So if you accept a coaching job, you first go there for a meeting, do your due diligence and are told what players you have at your disposal. If you know that, you know you’re going to have to do your job with these players. So you know in advance what you need to do.

“Sometimes you also have to see things from the other side. If a coach arrives to take the reins of a club and he sees what is there and what needs to be done, these are the players he has to deal with, the ones he has to work with and try to get the best out of them. »
