JOE expects to see lots of free-flowing and attacking football
Former Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni has announced that he is in advanced talks to become the next manager of the Ivory Coast.
The Elephants are looking for a new manager after deciding not to renew the contract of French coach Sabri Lamouchi, who failed to guide them past the group stages at the World Cup. The Ivory Coast beat Japan 2-1 in their opening game in Brazil but lost against Colombia and Greece to bow out of the competition in the first round.
Cheick Tiote being tackled by a ghost did provide us with one of the World Cup highlights though.
Trap has been out of a job since parting company with Ireland, after five years in charge, and the 75 year old told Italian radio station Radio Due that, "The Ivory Coast? Everything should materialise in 15 days' time". The former Juventus and Bayern Munich manager also revealed that he turned down the opportunity to take over Morocco.
JOE still has some love for Trap, despite his insistence on playing dour football, and we wish him all the best. Lets remind ourselves of some of his best moments.
