A Managers Impact

After the fiasco with Harry Redknapp leaving Spurs and Roberto Di Matteo signing a new 2 year deal with Chelsea after winning the FA Cup final and The Uefa Champions League final it was hard to deny him the managers role at the club, but I'm here to focus on the impact of managers in the modern game.

Personally I feel that managers have been over-rated for a long time and many of them using very strange tactics but when the team does well in certain matches or competitions the manager get the praise yet when a team fails to perform more often than not the team is to blame, I would like to see more managers like in the 80's with a manager who will not only give his all for the team and take responsibility for their bad performances but take hold of the head coach role and not leave it to his assistant and personally I think Di Matteo is a new bread of an old type of manager.
