so OX14, are you Dad, Brother, Uncle, Brother in Law, Best Man of Des? Or will it be a secret forever?
For a 47 year old man I am not following the Liam Manning advice of not too high, not too low. I'm bouncing with excitment here, COYYNot related, my info came from someone very close to the board.
“Des leaves Mumbai City FC as the Club’s longest serving Head Coach (72 games) and the youngest coach to win an ISL League Shield, winning the league title in the 2022-23 season while breaking 17 all-time ISL records along the way. He departs holding the league’s all-time highest win percentage (57.8%), highest points per league game average (1.96) among coaches with a minimum 20 games and as the fastest coach to reach 100+ goals in ISL history. Des also led Mumbai City to AFC Champions League history in 2022 as the Islanders became the first Indian club to win a game in Asia’s premier club football competition, finishing an unprecedented second in their group.”Well there we go.......

Good luck to the lad, long term deal so might be more expensive for someone to buy if he does alright.
Got to admit I’m shitting myself with excitement. It’s not a great look for a 46 year old man but I’m going with it.For a 47 year old man I am not following the Liam Manning advice of not too high, not too low. I'm bouncing with excitment here, COYY
Well lets keep at our secretGot to admit I’m shitting myself with excitement. It’s not a great look for a 46 year old man but I’m going with it.
Really hope Craig Short stays, he's done a terrific job holding down the fort twice now, after KR & LM departures, and I'd like to see him rewarded for that, he deserves it."Des’s coaching team will be confirmed in due course." This will be interesting.
Completely agree. The players seem to really respect him judging by their response after the Orient game and he will provide consistency for the club. He also seems like a top blokeReally hope Craig Short stays, he's done a terrific job holding down the fort twice now, after KR & LM departures, and I'd like to see him rewarded for that, he deserves it.
Not sure why he's walking around with his V5C document around his neck but he certainly is dreamy.
