The veteran tactician has taken out time to express that he is not likely to remain at the helm of the World champions for a long period of time.
Spanish national head coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 del Bosque, has expressed that he is considering retirement in the foreseeable future.
According to the Spaniard, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 of managing a team on a permanent basis is getting tougher and tougher as time goes on. He exclaimed that the pressure of managing a world-class team is immense and that he is not aware of how long he can go on like this.
In addition, the former Real Madrid boss also quoted that his age is another factor which constrains him from being active and efficient all the time. He revealed that it is becoming increasingly difficult for him to cope with the duties of an international
coach.
Del Bosque also disclosed that this could be his last year as the manager of La Furia Roja.
While talking to reporters, the 61-year-old was quoted as saying:
“I said that for age reasons. I’m 61 now and I’ve got little more than a year here before my work with the national team comes to an end. It’d be very difficult [to take on a club role], as I honestly don’t see myself still coaching at 70! That’s why I’ll
most likely call it a day after this.
“The difference between club and country work? We’ve played 16 games this year and, when you compare that to the 50-odd matches that clubs play, it’s a pretty conclusive piece of data. At club level you have day-to-day contact that enables you to gradually
improve certain areas of your team. At international level you get less time to work. At a club you get to work with the players more, but there could also be more conflict. Here with the national team that’s less likely.”
Vicente del Bosque took over as the head coach of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757, in addition to the Euro 2012 this year.
