1860 Munich: Maurizio Jacobacci becomes the new coach

I’ll try to break down the pros and cons:

Per:
– Jacobacci is a very experienced coach.
– In Switzerland he has probably already proven several times that he can straighten up teams that are lying on the ground.
– He stands for pragmatic football and is considered a motivator – that could do the team good in the current situation.
– Jacobacci is seen as a worker who doesn’t complain about the available funds, but simply gets to work.
– Jacobacci comes from a working-class district in Berne, from which he should fit in with Giesing.

Cons:
– Jacobacci has never had any contact with German football. I see that as a big disadvantage, especially for the very special 3rd division. I don’t know any other coach who has trained in the 3rd division and has never been active in Germany before.
– In addition, Jacobacci has had little or no success at all of his foreign stations. In Innsbruck and Tunisia he failed miserably. In Grenoble the performance was mixed at most. Why should the fourth foreign adventure suddenly work out?
– He is through the network of Yahya Ismaik, a proven football professional opened with us.
– His play style is said to be anything but attractive. At the same time, we have a team that has so many technically gifted players. That doesn’t exactly sound like a perfect match.
– Even in Switzerland he was never longer in a club, but mostly quite a migratory bird. Appropriately, his last engagement was only a week ago.
– He knows neither the club nor the players and not even the league – and now has exactly one week until the first game. That seems like quite a suicide mission.

Conclusion: Looking at Maurizio Jacobacci’s CV, the thought “That’s a Vitor Pereira for third division teams” inevitably comes to mind. In contrast to the great Vitor, Jacobacci is probably at least a real worker. Jacobacci also likes to come dressed up in a Ferrari. All in all, my doubts clearly outweigh the doubts. The lack of Germany experience is actually a KO criterion for me. Much calls for a “flop with announcement”. What makes it even harder to accept is that there were so many other, at first glance, far more suitable candidates. Nevertheless, I want to give Jacobacci a fair chance.

Buona fortuna a Monaco di Baviera, Maurizio!
