Okay, so, it was a
caretaker joke. There's some historical irony in this if you'll indulge me.
Everyone knows the Brazil World Cup '70 team. The greatest team ever. Mario Zagallo was the manager of them during that World Cup.....just.....
Joao Saldanha was the manager of Brazil from '69-'70. He was a journalist. Wholly out of his depth managing a football team. His only experience was managing Botafogo ten years prior (for two seasons). So, Saldanha got Brazil into the '70 World Cup and was months away from the World Cup itself, but then he had a falling out with the assistant manager and Pele. He wanted Pele to play as striker, but Pele kept telling him that he's a no.10 and plays deeper. On top of that anytime Pele would ask him what his plan was tactically, he didn't seem to have a detailed one. He even considered dropping Pele for the tournament itself.
So enters Mario Zagallo as caretaker manager. Has about a month to prepare for the WC, and the rest is history. Highly competent caretaker manager takes over highly talented squad prior to major tournament and turns around the fortunes of its best player and establishes them as the best team in history.
God, that's a lot of context
Point I was making was that Zagallo replaced an ill-equipped manager once, and made history. We need a Zagallo. (Not him specifically Lol)
