Rumours abound, that Darije Kalezic is about to become the Head Coach at my very own Wellington Phoenix! I don't recall his magnificent reign at Edgeley Park, so, could the more enlightened amongst you describe his coaching & man management style!!!!!
Cheers from NZ

A man who undoubtedly knows his onions about the game (coached the Belgian league winners, and Ajax), but not a bean about fifth tier English football.
English was his fourth language. Struck me as a decent bloke, shafted by the charlatans running the football club at the time. Wrong man, wrong club, wrong time; but probably a decent coach.

And definitely a coach, rather than a manager. So a bit of a culture shock at a club where the manager has to arrange transfers and negotiate pay deals, sort out players’ domestic problems, deal with the press, make sandwiches and arrange the bus travel (and that was when we were a full time side)

Yeah, probably worth noting that by that stage we were essentially an unmanageable/unmanaged/mismanaged mess.
I would say it is impossible to say whether he was any good or not on the basis that any one of the greatest managers of all time would have looked like an absolute chump dropped into our club at that point. His appointment was stupid, but that wasn’t his fault.
