My 2c - The people best placed to know the details of his coaching badges are Ramon and any potential employers he has applied to. If he was likely to finish it in May as first reported (now people are saying August) you'd have thought he have at least got a look in at the AWs gig (there wasn't a huge rush on that appointment given the time of the WC cycle) - yet he didn't. Similar seems to have happened with previous tilts at AL jobs as well.
Seems to me like there is something to all this that isn't as simple as "he has his A and will have his Pro very soon". I don't think it's a huge leap to put some credibility in these claims either his acadef qual isn't up to snuff (2 month course seems a bit off) or he has failed his attempts at the pro a few times and that's got employers jumpy.
Or if you actually look at the acadef website you see the level 3 course which allows you to coach at an national and international level requires 600 hours theoretical, 200 hours practical training and 75 hours for the final project (bit more than 2 months) and he's working towards it (you obviously don't get it over night)
If there was an issue with his licence he wouldn't have got through the door for his previous interviews with A-League teams
There are 2 issues one is that he is currently in an amateur league and alot of people can't get past that and also I think he has been wanting to be the head coach, whereas he could have got into an A-League club if he'd been willing to take an assistant's role and work his way up (which is what he did at ACFC)
Except, being a foreigner, he needed to have a pro licence even to be an assistant. I guess there would be an option to be employed to help without actually being labelled an assistant and sitting on the bench?
