  • Jean-Paul de Marigny Departs Wanderers

    mack

    By mack

    Jean-Paul de Marigny was today left the Western Sydney Wanderers, just 9 months after he ascended to the head coach role following the sacking of Markus Babbel.

    The Wanderers released a very short statement today on their website: "Western Sydney Wanderers FC have today parted ways with head coach Jean-Paul de Marigny. The club thanks Jean-Paul for his efforts and wishes him success in the future. The club will make an announcement in the coming days on a replacement coach."

    It is unclear at this early stage if the move was a sacking, or if de Marigny left the club of his own accord. 

    Jean-Paul de Marigny's time at the club did result in a small uplift in the clubs performances, and he was able to keep the Wanderers from losing a Sydney derby this season. His final statistics in charge were 5 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses from 12 games, his best results coming in February as he lead the Wanderers to a 1-0 derby win, after smashing Adelaide United 5-2.

    In the post Lockdown period however, the 3-1 loss to Perth and the 5-3 loss to Western United culled the small hopes of playing finals football, and a 2-1 win over Melbourne Victory closed out the season.

    The Wanderers have not announced a replacement at this time. Whoever it is will have their work cut out for them, as the club will be dealing with the loss of our best player Mitch Duke, having signed nothing but youth player upgrades at this point in the pre-season and with a massive cut in the salary cap looming.

    Wanderers Chairman, at the time of de Marigny's appointment in July said “with JP at the helm and our squad working hard at our fantastic Centre of Football, we eagerly anticipate the return of the Hyundai A-League and watching our group take the steps required to make our many members and fans proud.”

    Lederer's words ring hollow with the erstwhile head coach leaving just three months after his 'permanent' appointment.

    Judging from Ray Gatts conversations on Twitter the rumoured manager is:

    - Considered a big name manager

    - Australian

    - Has previously coached in the A-League

    I can only really think of Graham Arnold or maybe Kosmina?

    Has Pappas previously coached in the A-League?

    First it's supposed to be Robinson according to Gatty and Taurus on Twitter, now Gatty says could be GA, which I find hard to believe. Actually I find both hard to believe but I guess we'll find out soon.

    Yeah I also saw Taurus heavily discussing Robinson to many people on Twitter. Always seems to be very knowledgeable in these situations.

    I’m no doubt in the minority of minorities, but I’d take Arnold. It’s a mercenary game, and so long as the old whinger brings success I’ll be happy to have him on board.

    With Arnie, finals win within 2 years.

    It happens, Steve Bruce has managed Sunderland and Newcastle for example.

    Not going to happen though so move on :D

    Robinson is a good coach but ideally I'd rather he stay where he is ATM.

    The last thing Robinson needs is to go into a toxic club and do things the Lederer way

    For the sake of the overall league, I think pinching Robinson from the Jets is a bit of an asshole move tbh

    So you were happy with JPdM? 

    it was a rubbish move to appoint him “permanently” before the end of season, but he’s not the answer so It’s correcting a wrong 

    Robinson would be a good move, had Jets playing well, with basically somebody else’s crap squad, did it in a chaotic environment, what’s not to like, just should have happened months ago

    Jets were probably THE form team when the season restarted. Dirty business but I'd take him !!

    I'm on board with hughsey here, do the right thing and find your own candidate, not steal next door's hard work.

    They could have fit the whole statement into a single tweet but instead they said "Club statement", attached a picture saying "Club Statement" and made me click a link.

    Now I hope we steal their coach.

      Who would like more things to smile at??   - Wanderers (women and men) didn’t lose this weekend, and Sydney FC (women and men) didn’t win this weekend   - Wanderers are higher than Sydney FC on BOTH the women’s and men’s tables.

      No Mack, that's not what happened. Gombau rolled the dice with his line up for that derby. CB Hamill played RB, RB Risdon played RW, the nominal RW Cejudo played LW. Something like that. Young Scott played CF, Baby Baccus played as sole No 6, young Aspro CB. Santa and Jumpei came off the bench when it was all too late, and Thwaite stayed on the bench.  The game was lost because Gombau had them play a ridiculously high line where our slow CBs where constantly outrun. Had it not been for Snake in goal we could have lost in double digits. The day after that game Gombau had morning tea with Lederer and JT for a serious WTF chat.  The player's revolt came two rounds later, after the 0:4 in Newcastle. Or rather: that's when Gimbau lost the locker room. That game was so bad and the canyon between coach and assistant coach so big that Hayden Foxe resigned after the game. Maybe there was or is a coach somewhere in Gombau. Maybe he was just misunderstood. Maybe he could have turned wsw into Australia's answer to Barca. I very much doubt it, and we'll never know. What we do know is that he pissed off Cornflakes so much that he left mid season. Gombau was urged to sign a replacement, and he refused! And so for the final game of the season he fielded Hamill and Clisby (!) as CBs, and left Thwaite on the bench. If anyone needs reminding, wsw lost the game 2:3 and where out of the finals. By the time the post season awards night happened, Gombau had pissed off club officials so much that he didn't sit with them on the same table, and the only player who was seen talking to him that night was his old mate from Adelaide, Carrusca. The next day this: "Following a review of the season the decision has been made to appoint a new head coach for the 2018/19 season and beyond. The Wanderers would like to thank Josep for his time with the club." They may as well have written "**** off". Maybe the club should have done a bit of thinking when FFA refused to release Ante Milicic but we're happy to let Gombau go to WSW, and even continued to pay a slice of his salary.   Anyway. The biggest issue are not the coaches, but how we arrive with them. In the absence of a DoS it was the chairman who made the final decision. Gorman picked Popa, Lederer Gombau, Babbel and CR, JT picked Rudan, and Stajcic is Cheng's choice.  That's what needs to change.
