You may be asking "why Notts County?" I'm right there with you. Especially when Sven is saying things like this after taking the job
I always said I wanted to come back to the Premier League. I chose a little bit of a difficult way to do it I think.
Not sure why taking a job with a League Two side who finished 19th out of 24 teams last year has Sven convinced that this job will lead him back to the Premier League. Maybe he wants to construct a team that he can assemble with funds from a Middle East consortium who just took the team over. Notts County FC are the oldest professional soccer team in the world, after all - they certainly deserve something better than League Two.
But still, for Sven, who managed England in two World Cups, took Manchester City to their highest ever point total in the top flight (not to mention beating Man Utd in both league games in his only season in charge) and has been in charge of such high profile teams as Benfica, Roma and Fiorentina, this is a bizarre move. Even after a rough stint with the Mexican national team of late (for which I will be forever grateful - thanks Sven!), he surely could've landed
Just to clarify, Sven will not be managing Notts County, he will be the director of football. He will essentially be the equivalent of a general manager in US sports.
Also, I wonder how this will play out on a new season of Special1 TV.
