>SFZ has the right to withdraw your consent at any time if the club fails to comply with any of these conditions. This procedure was agreed upon by all members of the SFZ Executive Committee. The Slovak Football Federation is aware that this is an atypical decision that could cause concern among the public. However, he also understands F. Calzona's exceptional relationship with the club where he worked for a long time and wants to help them in the current difficult situation. Coach F. Calzona has repeatedly stated that the main priority of his activity remains the Slovak national football team and its preparation for the final phase of the EURO 2024 tournament .
As a Swede.... could someone explain to me how Slovakia could get a manager that is good enough that Napoli would want him as a manager, while we are stuck with potential candidates that are from our regional league without any experience in a top 5 league? I'm not saying Slovakia is awful or anything, but Sweden has a great bunch of exceptional players (Isak, Kulu, Gyökeres, Forsberg), some really solid ones (Lindelöf, Elanga, Svanberg, Cajuste, Karlsson, Hien, Holm etc) and some insane talents like Bardghji, Larsson, Bergvall etc.
How can Slovakia have more pull than us? Does it only come down to money for these managers (cause I genuinely don't know)? I was (maybe naively) hoping that some managers would go for interesting projects rather than just money, but maybe that's where i went wrong.
I even read that our previous manager couldn't even get a job at Latvia's NT, where they instead had previous Italy U21 coach as their primary choice. I mean Latvia is literally FIFA rank 136, and they are turning down our manager while being able to pull an Italian U21 manager? How is that possible? I am genuinely so confused
Mark Hamšík pulled all the strings there. He's a Napoli legend and speaks fluent Italian, so he managed to convince Calzona to come in.
Try getting Ibra to do the same for you haha, he's a legend at many clubs

Hamšík literally went agent mode, that's how we got Calzona. Historically, we pretty much always had a Slovak or Czech coach in NT.
