The Great Coach of Coaches

7 matches to go in the Coca Cola Championships in England and already Sunderland are looking towards getting promoted and the fans must have by now started thinking about preparing posters, banners and placards displaying the famous “BACK TO WHERE WE BELONG” slogan.

Quite a few months back, the mood wasn’t as good at the Wearside club which was being managed by the new Chairman and former striker Niall Quinn whose fellow investors were advised not to invest in a club whose debts were approaching 40 million pounds.

But after a few difficult games as a Manager cum Chairman of the club, Quinn finally found the man who he thought could be the solution to his problems, the one and only Roy Keane. The fiery midfielder turned coach has taken the team to position where they can think of getting promoted and that’s an achievement for team whose chairman thought while appointing Keane the being somewhere around the top 7 would be enough.

Keane who wasn’t considered perfect to coach by many because of his attitude, did a great job bringing in new players with low price tags and good enough abilities and sunderland fans can now at least hope to watch premiership matches at the Stadium of Light next season.

But how many players could so smoothly go through a transition from plying in top flight football to coaching a football at near top flight level. One major reason has to be the fact that he has played the major part of his career under a manager who is an institution in himself and the players who played under him have proved to be good managers and Keano is already a member of the great legacy that Sir Alex has given to this game in his 20 years and counting as the manager. The league includes people like Mark Hughes, Steve Bruce and Bryan Robson.

So “Coach of Coaches” continues his job at the Theatre Of Dreams and we can keep our fingers crossed to see a few more good coaches gifted to this beautiful game by this great man.
