Frank de Boer

[firmino]

That's interesting to know, but things have changed.

 

[IRR26]

Imo it is very good for Inter that he tells this. Maybe it wont happen that easily again.

 

[Sassuolu]

FdB came in a time of transition, I think the structure is now more defined.

De Boer Still Frustrated By Ill-fated Inter Spell

During an interview with De Telegraaf, former Inter coach Frank de Boer once again blamed the way in which the club was run for his failings on the touchline. Here is what he had to say:

“Mine is a very young club: there are no ex-presidents or directors with a lot of influence. At Inter, a player’s agent came to me and once said: “If I knew you wouldn’t let my player play, I would never have given permission for you to become coach.” This should help people to understand how far their influence within the club extends.

“I think it is inconceivable that there was no disciplinary action against him. In this sense, working here in America is much more relaxing. I’m sure I would have been good for Inter if they had been a little more patient. Inside, I am still disappointed at not being able to prove what I could do there. I want to show once again that I can succeed in high-level European football.”

He is being little moaning bitch again, somebody should smack him. He is blaming everyone except himself.

 

[Jagger]

Why doesn´t he name the player and an agent? It´s not like he will ever again coach a team in Italy...

 

[forzainter257]

Brozovic, Ansaldi and Barbosa who you could suspect

 

[rockball]

Too bad we didn't have Marotta then.

Kia is the agent.

 

[Wallace]

He benched Kondogbia iirc, and he had huge conflicts with him.

I’m not sure if he was here long enough to make a newcomer’s agent pissed off.

Although this is Kia we are talking about.

 

[adiK]

Or Joao Mario maybe?

 

[Il Drago]

Kia is the agent.

Kia also was De Boer agent so I doubt it was him. De Boer had serious issues with Brozovic and Kondogbia so i think it could be the agent of one of them.

Or Joao Mario maybe?

Definitely not. Joao Mario was a definite starter and one of our best performers during De Boer era.

 

[Wallace]

Who was Kdog’s agent?

 

[Dylan]

He's coaching in mls and finding it relaxing. Good for him, maybe he'll stop getting fired immediately over there.

 

[ADRossi]

Who was Kdog’s agent?

His brother.

De Boer sure does like to talk about his 30 days coaching Inter.

Kia also was De Boer agent so I doubt it was him. De Boer had serious issues with Brozovic and Kondogbia so i think it could be the agent of one of them.

The agent is Kia
The player is Gabriel Barbosa

Kia had quite strong influence on Suning from Jiangsu days. De Boer didn't play Barbosa obviously embarrassed Kia in front of Suning.

 

[Puma]

Frank is like a guy that has been burned by a beautiful woman that has left him behind. The woman (Inter) has well and truly moved on and all Frank can do is recall past memories and lament his loss.

 

[A.l.i]

What a sore loser this guy !

 

[Candreva Crosses]

I miss Frank telling K-dog to fuck off. Hopefully Conte will have the same attitude.

Exactly 10 years ago Robert Enke died because of depression. I saw a documentary about him that talked about how he always had to deal with criticism in he's career.

It would be glib to suggest that Enke's treatment by Barcelona was the beginning of his illness – he had suffered from fear and insecurity before – but his experience at the Camp Nou did become a pivotal point in his sense of what was subsequently diagnosed as "alienation".

He made his debut for Barcelona in a Copa del Rey match against third‑division Novelda after a troubling series of training sessions where he found it difficult to adapt to the unfamiliar distance between himself and the remarkably high line adopted by Barça's back-four which was an integral part of Louis van Gaal's coaching philosophy. He had already been unnerved by Van Gaal in a telephone conversation when transfer negotiations over his move from Benfica had hit a hitch and he asked for some reassurance that he was still wanted. "I don't even know you," the manager said, a perception, or lack of it, shared by Barcelona's coaches who seemed baffled by Enke's preference for using his hands instead of his feet.

When Barcelona were defeated 3-2 in the cup game, the club's captain Frank de Boer laid the blame for two of the goals on Enke, later claiming he had been misquoted but he never apologised to the goalkeeper. "He was thrown to the lions," says Victor Valdés, Barça's current No1 whose emergence that season kept Enke on the sidelines.

Never liked that guy, seriously.
