I can’t say I expected his side to be that dominant.

Having said that, Transfermarkt says his side are worth  18.29m euros. The next highest in the league is oh worth 12m with most of the other clubs worth well below 10m.

So while he has been dominant, this would also imply that he has the best side in the league by a mile.


Ok so it's his budget now not ange  :D

Sorry Kawasaki 1-0 I meant. Yokohama safe with a draw but if they lose and Kawasaki score stays the same they lose the title.

All teams even in jleague on points. 45 minutes to go. 

Yokohama is 1-1 the other team 0-0 so both on 66 points. Yokohama have superior goals. If Kawasaki score and Yokohama draw, Kawasaki win the title. 

Down to the wire!

Muscat has merited of a similar squad and intact playing style but he has done a good job to be around the top 2 since he took over.

Like Corica he's challenge will be inheriting a different squad and playing that same style of play from their previous coaches.

Alot easier getting good players to winning clubs, not so much the case from losing positions.

The positional play is identical, all that he has done is get like for like players. So I guess he's better then the pretender corica as corica just recycled old players.

He stops acting like Ange's Remora, and I'll give him the respect. Gotta move out of anges shadow though.

Did the same at MV. 

Also the thing about Yokohama FM, is that they have never really been a top-of-the-table side. They have been more of a middle of the table side. Plenty of other JLeague clubs have way more money and resources compared to Yokohama FM. Taking them to the top is a bigger achievement than taking MV to the top.

He is intelligent, thoughtful and has proven to be resourceful manager.

As a player he was focussed, quick of mind, careless of body and an absolute krunt to be on the field with.

Happy for him to Coach at any level.  Wouldn't like him to join in the training sessions.

Yes that guy looks to be very capable. Maybe Roar should chase him. Can't go any worse than the Bros Aloisi.

Well, the things we say.

He has managed to twice rebuild teams and team structure. This latest undertaking started slowly but is looking quite promising at the moment. 

It's odd to think of all the stick and comments on here from people saying he can't coach and is useless - despite his trophy cabinet and achievements.

As for 'the best' - not sure that exists. Horses for courses. 

One area where Muscat has excelled is players - man management, attracting players and scouting. Every player he has signed has performed, with the only one standing out being beister which is way too early to make a call on. 

Wow. Five years ago but for once I still stand by a post 😂

Well, he deserves a bit of respect. 

Despite the constant belittling of him as a coach, he has taken a completely decimated side to the top of the j league. 

Thai is after being one of Australia’s most successful ever coaches. Time to recognise how good he is at this.
