Jorvan Vieira: Should Australia sign the Iraqi Coach?

Jorvan Vieira, The Iraqi coach of Brazilian origin, was offered to the Socceroos earlier this year but was rejected.

He coached Morocco in the 1986 where they got out of a group which included England and Poland. They also beat Portugal 3-1.

He coached Oman Under 20 side in 2000 and they did pretty well. Still are if Sunday's game is anything to go by.

Guus Hiddink impressed. His observations, tactical nous and general demeanour.

Jorvan Vieira has a the same level of class, but different. He is fluent in English, is generous to his opposite numbers, and has an understanding of the World and it's cultures. How else can you coach Morrocco, Oman and Iraq.

Could you imagine Graham Arnold being able to coach these national sides, or Korea like Hiddink did.

Of course he doesn't have to, or maybe he does. Maybe the Australian coach needs to have proven himself in other countries so they can mould an Australian side which can embrace and compete against the region we are now in.

Jorvan Vieira signed up for Iraq one month before the Asia Cup. Do you think he is expensive?

Compared to Arnold, or Houllier or whoever?

Maybe Frank Lowy and FFA should forget European managers who have never coached in Asia.

Houllier and Co have no experience.

Jorvan Vieira is available after the Asian Cup. Should we go for him?
