A fiery passionate soccer coach gets the sack this week and the airwaves are abuzz with commentary. John Spencer's firing by the Timbers wasn't the only notable sacking of a coach this week. Argentine legend Maradona was sacked by UAE's Al Wasl after the club failed to do better than eighth of twelve teams. The chatter after the fact included quotes from Maradona who wanted, essentially, to discuss the issue.
I have to give Spencer credit. He's got more dignity than Maradona. And may be a better coach. Time will tell, I guess. I just found the juxtaposition of events ironic. I look forward to hearing about Spencer's success at some place and time in the future. Maradona? I just hope that the Timbers aren't looking that direction.
