Yesterday, Jose Mourinho withdrew his name from the list of potential managers of the English National team. UK and Italian tabloids doing what they do, immediately produced rumors that the former Chelsea manager would be taking over Italian powerhouse AC Milan at the start of next season. Current AC Milan manager Carlo Ancellotti announced earlier this season that he will step down in May, however, he is linked to both the Italian National team and Barcelona potentially open managerial positions. Das FanHaus feels that the usually obligatory joke linking former Colorado football coach Gary Barnett to any of these jobs would be uncouth. The coaching carousel and its accompanying cliches are not strictly American constructs, but we long to find the European equivalent of "coaching bicycle" so that we may make the ritual humor as cosmopolitan as possible.
