Ladislav Borbély: Tarkovich’s end is football populism (interview) – Sportnet.sk

He was very happy inside. He sealed with the Slovak national football team for advancing to the elimination phase of the European Championships. He became serious when he mentioned what was going on in the national football team. He spoke emotionally, gesturing with his hands. “Weiss is a good candidate, but where is the guarantee that we will not solve the same thing in half a year or a year?” Asks well-known television analyst and former president of the Union of Football Coaches of Slovakia LADISLAV BORBÉLY. Let’s start with football. What do you say to the dismissal of Štefan Tarkovič from the post of national team coach? In the first place, the choice of coach cannot depend on one person, the president of the union. He should have an advisory board that will nominate three or four candidates for him according to certain principles, and the executive can choose from that. All I can say about his dismissal is that it is very easy to dismiss a coach. But the responsibility should also lie with those who designed and elected him, because the coach in Slovakia is a dirty duster with which officials wipe the corners. Until this changes and professionally skilled people come into the movement, it will look like this. Vladimír Weiss, the successor of Tarkovič, could be the successor. This possibility was already in the game in the winter, but Weiss then remained in Slovan Bratislava, which led to the winning of the championship title. At the end of June, his contract expires at the club and he has not yet signed a new one.
