Like the rest of the support I was hoping that Darko, if he comes in, would be in favour of youth players and an exciting passing game - continuing the good work done by Redders - looking at one persons comments on the YP pages this seems to be almost the opposite of what he stands for ! Hopefully either the poster knows nowt or Massimo has told him what he wants (more of the same) otherwise all this current optimism could come to an abrupt end !!
"Darko is a top-man, but his football is ultra conservative. He basically never changes system and tactics – in Graz, after no succes whatsover, he tried to change just after one year, because his striker Robert Beric left the club and the flat 4-4-2 wasn't possible with the players left. Otherwise: ALWAYS flat 4-4-2, many long balls, stable defense but no spectacular football and very inconsistent results – can't remember a winnig streak with 3 or 4 wins in a row. And after more than one year Darko wasn't able to solve the massive problems in central midfield. He played with two defensive midfielder and the gap between them and attack was outrageously large. A problem he multiple confirmed himself. So no fluid game most of the times. And don't expect Darko as one of those new generation german coaches, which are highly regarded in Austria too. I mean the Klopp-thing, with pressing, aggressive and direct offensive counter-attacking football. Darko is more of an old fashiond coach, what doesn't has to be bad. With the right players, he can get some decent results, especially versus big teams. Sturm beat magnificent Red Bull Salzburg away, but struggled against small teams, when they had to dictate the game."
