After a long search through the Puma non-league club directory 2008 from blue square premier to every league at step 5/6,we can categorically affirm that Coachie is" the only italian born non league first team manager" in the entire non-league football.I had to satisfy this curiosity of mine and to say i'm proud of it,it's an understatement.When i moved to this country 14 years ago i could barely understand the lingo but my passion,love for football has overcome that barrier.I would challenge any non league manager in England to go and do that in Italy.I'm so,so proud...Capello,De Canio you are nobody,i'm the real Coachie! back to sleep now,i had to tell my mates on the forum!

Who said i didn't?

Could you print the FA's reply on here please?

[coach et 64]

they said that i ticked all the boxes but because i have been living in Essex for too long,i wasn't considered by them a foreigner..altough they did say the next England manager would come from Essex..joking aside are you a chairman,director of football,club director etc,etc?I'm only talking to high calibre individuals for a job that match my ambition.

the Home Office is sorting it out...It will be a special one,given for services to the English FA.I might get an MBE or an OBE like that sardinian bandit Zola.. Hi Gianfranco!To think i helped pave the way for all these eyetalians to come to Albion's island...First was Gianluca,then that big wenger of Silenzi(son of a Roma gipsy)Bonetti that couldn't eat sandwiches at half-time(made by Grimsby Brian Law )then Gianfranco,Roberto Di Matteo,very quick off the blocks and a Lazio icon(we burned his car when he left! ).All these gentlemen came to England because they heard the heroic gestures of a 20th century football pyoneer known as EL COACHIE that was routing every football opponents in the desolate county of Essex..I think i'm gonna get a call from SIR Trevor soon...

The FA must have heard all about his lasagnes and it's got enough surplus weight as it is judging by the barrels of lard who surrounded Capello at his press conference - and that ncludes Brooking who is supposed to be from Sport England and setting an example for football development

well they might have a bit of flesh but you can only kiss their arses because they are the only two people at the FA that know what they are doing...and they have got one quality that coaches like you haven't....CLASS!
