Transfer window for managers?

[worcestersauce]

From a report in the METRO: -

FIFA president Sepp Blatter is in favour of restricting managers from changing clubs outside transfer windows.
Blatter is believed to be unhappy with the way Juande Ramos recently left Sevilla to join Tottenham and Ronald Koeman's sudden departure from PSV to Valencia.
Blatter believes managers should be subject to the same restrictions that govern the movement of players, who can only switch clubs in January and during the summer.
'We will try to extend the rule that is valid for players to coaches,' he said in the Daily Telegraph.

Apart from a natural aversion to any idea from that corrupt swiss bureaucrat I can't see this happening.


What does anybody else think? Is the Coach too important to leave in place if he's no good or so important that he should have to stay in place for the duration?

He doesn't propose that you can't remove a coach outside the window, just that you can't replace him. So we could still have sacked Jol. I think it's a daft idea though.

I can sort of see where Blatter is coming from. There needs to be something in place to stop managers getting sacked so easily or leaving at the drop of a hat.

I think there should be a two/three week notice period before a manager can walk out, so that the club can at least have a chance of getting a new manager in before he leaves instead of having to use a caretaker whilst they search.

Also the Metro article is wrong. Koeman left PSV.
