Quite aptly, the Twitter link on the FAI account to the story announcing his appointment is broken.

We once appointed Giovanni Trapattoni.

It’s definitely interesting!

Do we know whether he was the brains behind Iceland or whether it was Lagerback? He obviously got them to a World Cup on his own. You’d have to say that they overachieved for a couple of tournaments, which is good.

Looking at Jamaica’s results in the Copa America; I don’t think any of them were matches they would have been expected to win. They’re largely a team of Championship and League One players other than Antonio, playing against some decent opposition.

I’m an optimist so at least I can hope someone I know little about can do well rather than someone who is doomed to failure from the outset.
