Tracksuit Coaching

I think that it's very important for the manager to have a strong pressence in training.

When England's Brian Barwick speaks of new managers McClaren and Venables as being "tracksuit coaches" it strikes me as odd:

"(Venables) has great experience, he will get on the field. He is a tracksuit coach, as Steve is a tracksuit coach. It is two brains." (BBC)

Does this mean that Sven did not have as much a pressence on the pitch in training while the new regime of coaches will?

And will the new style of coaching make a difference to England's fortunes?

We shall see...

We shall see if two tracksuited brains are better than one who is too removed from the action...
