- Willy Caballero becomes fifth addition to Enzo Maresca’s backroom staff

The 41-year-old Argentine arrives as Assistant Manager following an 18-month spell as a player with Southampton. He brings with him a wealth of experience from a playing career that has spanned over two decades across Argentina, Spain and England.

During those spells he picked up League Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League winners’ medals.

Get him in nets

Still concerning the lack of managerial/ coaching experience this set up has

And just like that the Cambiasso dream dies

That’s a good appointment, he has always talked a very good game in interviews I’ve heard.

Is this a joke 

[HybridFox]

Hopefully our goalkeeping might improve 

[Happy Fox]

He could still do a job as our goalkeeper!

[RedSoxUK]

Another Southampton signing, what could possibly go wrong.

[Babylon]

Weird

[coolhandfox]

Rudkin, wrong Argentinean.......

@StriderHiryu Seems your suggestion worked, but in a different capacity (assistant manager as opposed to goalkeeper)!

[Nolucklcfc]

Just worry about the lack of experience 

[winteriscoming]

I can imagine Top telling Rudkin to go get Cambiasso. Rudkin misheard him and we end up with Cabellero. 
I suppose it’s close. A bald Argentine. 

[ShepshedFox1884]

Why didn’t we just get cambiasso 

[AjcW]

We’ve just had 2 years worth of shite from an incredibly experienced set up… I’m amazed people aren’t pleased we’re at least trying something different!

is a little concerning the lack of experience in managerial terms but as said, its jumping into the unknown and after the last 2 yrs of pure poo im for a little risk

Exactly.. some people are never happy. 

 

Soon as we lose one game you know these people are going to come in with the..... Lack of experience showed angle.

 

Every manager/coach has started somewhere. Some of these have been in around the most elite of football working with the elite managers and picked up things along the way.

 

I'm delighted we've gone for a youthful young approach. The club needed fresh ideas yet some people want a Nigel Worthington style person in the dugouts. 

 

New and old styles with different philosophy and ways of coaching just dosen't and wouldn't work.

Anything has to be a step up from Rodgers and Toure. 

[ALC Fox]

Interesting. There seems to be a mix of youth and experience in the coaching staff beneath Maresca and Caballero, but the two main guys are very inexperienced in the roles they have.

 

Caballero's career in the game will certainly be very well respected by the players, but if the coaching doesn't come up to scratch that respect can soon erode. But his endorsement of Maresca's methods should go a long way.

 

Maybe this is just the right time for Maresca to get a job as the main man. And, at 41, who's to say that Caballero hasn't actually been leading sessions for years already?

 

Maybe the both of them are ready now and they'll shine as a team.

 

Come on you beautiful ball-playing, tiki taka, total football Foxes 

[lgfualol]

Interesting choice. Hope he does well.
