Amidst what might be the messiest coach-transfer process in Philippine football history, Simon McMenemy still remains to be cutest GQMF in the world.
New coach is Hans Michael Weiss, by the way. All part of the
Germany visit.
So this happened, complete with television coverage, etc.
Poor Simon wasn't informed of it apparently and had to get the rest of the details from Facebook. Poor coach.
But then in spite of the heartbreak, he tweets this:
This is what really happened, from Dan Palami's Facebook:
Everyone's cool, coach and Dan Palami will talk, etc. It's so cute how Coach still kept telling people to support the Azkals, even if he isn't coaching them.
Come to think of it I think I should stop calling him coach as that title no longer belongs to him. I might start calling him on a first-name basis instead. It will sound like Simon and I know each other. Right? Right.
Although, still fairly depressing news as he was very good
looking as a coach. I'm quite fond of his heavy defensive set-up that left no holes for attacking players of the opposing team. Plus, he's very, very good-looking. I would have wanted to see more of him during the games.
PS: Why didn't they just keep him in the first place?
Apparently Simon (told ya first name basis) doesn't have a UEFA coaching permit necessary to coach the team for the following games. This is when Germany enters. They offered to help the national team, complete with training camps and more
underwear models players to add to the roster -- all for free. Included in the package is a selection of coaches to coach the Azkals while Simon is out fixing his papers. In the end, we exchanged the whole Germany experience for Simon. :( We're all trying to move forward here, people. And if it entails leaving Simon behind, then so be it. I think I'm going to cry now.
"Tell us something about yourself that no one else knows. I once cried in a movie because it was sad. It was 'Marley and Me,' directed by David Frakel, starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston. "
"What’s the most unique thing about you? I have an obsession with looking at my phone and contacting everyone at all times, but in the Philippines, this seems like a common thing, so maybe it’s just me. (Laughs)."
"What’s the craziest thing that’s ever happened to you on the field? One time, we were four goals behind, and then I was able to score five goals—so we won that game!"
"What’s your guilty pleasure? I go to the cinema, watch movies. I also go shopping, hang out, maybe eat.
"Do you have other hobbies aside from football? I’m into a lot of sports! (It was reported in Sun Star Cebu that he is into basketball, swimming, tennis, and billiards). I have a band, 6 Years to Fame. We play alternative rock."
"What’s the craziest fan moment you’ve had? Nothing too crazy, yet. Everybody’s been really good. Really friendly! So far everybody has kept within the boundaries of how it should be."
"What’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever done for a girl? Well, I’m not really a romantic type so … (Turns to his fellow players) Give me some ideas, I need to be clean here. I bought one girl a Coach bag. Yeah, seriously. One time, we were in Metrowalk, there was a girl singing on the stage, and people were writing down their song requests and giving it to the girl, but Eddie Mallari encouraged me to write my phone number and give it to the girl. She texted me later, but I lost my phone, so nothing really happened."
