Popa has now made 5 Grand Finals & lost every one of them. Wonder what is next for him?
If he doesn't like his new VUC lower salary, maybe the J League. Aussie coaches seem to do well there. Ange Post, Muscat & now Harry Kewell.
Kewell's Yokohama F. Marinos got to the AFC Champions League Final. Lost 6-3 on aggregate to Al Ain from UAE. Yokohama were 2-1 after the first leg in Japan, but had their keeper sent off at 45 mins in the return leg (2-1 down) and it all fell apart.
Marinos were 2nd in the J League last year under Muscat, who had taken over from Ange Post. Currently mid table under Kewell.
Muscat is now with Shanghai Port in China
