Dorival Junior is the manager of Santos FC in theBrazilian equivalent of the Premier League. Santos are the 11th team that DorivalJunior has managed injust 7 seasons. He has jumped from club to clubfrom a range ofBrazilian leagues at an alarming rate. Santos hope that he will bring succe s to an underachievingteam packed with Prima Donnas who arenow lead by the infamous Robinho.Santos were once a huge footballing force and with the likes of Pele Carlos Gonzalez Jersey and Pepe playing in the 1960s, which arenow known as the golden years. During this period Santos managed to win 8 championship titles and also held onto arguably the best Brazilian footballer to have ever lived. SincePeles retirement in 1974, only 2 championship titles have graced the Santos trophy cabinet. However, is Robinho the Gerardo Parra Jersey new Pele and isDorival Junior theBrazilian Special One?Dorival Junior will hope for a championship win to celebrate his first year in charge.Dorival Junior has not managed 11 different clubs in only 7 seasons because of the sack.No, unlike in the UKnot every manager leavesbecause of the boot. He hasleft clubs for different reasons but not many due to bad managerial skills.His managerial record is very good. In fact he managed tolead brazilian minnows Sau Caetanoto the Campeonata Paulista finals, beating clubs such as theCorinthians and Sau Paulo along the way. However, in the final, a strong Santos team beat Juniors minnows and Dorival Junior left to join Cruzeiro. Despite a promising start to the league campaignhis team slipped down the table and barely qualified for the Jake McGee Jersey Copa Libatores and Dorival Junior was sacked. After a strong season with Vasco de Gama, Junior finds himself manager of a struggling Santos team who only managed 12th in the league last time around. Junior will have talent at his disposal with the likes of Robinho and Neymar as part of a relatively strong Santos team. These two combinedbeautifully togiftRobinho hisfirst goal at the club on his debut since his arrival from Manchester City.Can Robinho be the new Pel?Robinho scored with an extravagant backheel after coming on as a substitute against Sau Paulo. However, managerDorival Junior will hope for a more mature Robinho toemergeduringhis first season in charge. The new manager nowhasthe added pre sure of having a super squad which means they must perform. Although he has managed 11 clubs since 2003, Dorival Junior can still be considered avery inexperienced manager despite numerous succe ses Kyle Freeland Jersey throughout his managerial career. He has won multiple state football leagues with previous teams but has not managed a big club such as Santos. His first season in charge is goingwell at the moment with Santos finding themselves top of the Brazilian Premier Division.Can he be considered one of the best outside the Premier League?It is hard to determine whether Dorival Junior can de considered as one of the best managersoutsidethe PL because Brazilian football is so different to what we enjoy here in England. The beautiful game is taken to a new level in south america where the emphasis is on skill and showboating as well as winning. A team such as Santos FC may be a first rate club in Brazil but pitch them up against Chelsea or Barcelona and they will be crushed. However, I do think this is the season that Dorival Junior can prove that he is a first Pat Valaika Jersey rate manager. He has two world cla s players under his wing in Robinho and potentially Neymar and if they lead Santos to victory in the Campeonato Brasileiro Srie A then praise willbeheaped on to the manager. After a poor season last season, a championship win this seasonwill give Dorival Juniors mangerial record a much neededboost and maybe we will see him on european shores in the near future.
