Rubin Kazan let the cat out the bag. In 2007, after years of domination by Moscow teams - Spartak, Lokomotiv and CSKA - Dick "the little General" Advocaat coached the Sine-Byelo-Goluboy (Blue-White-Sky-Blues) to its first ever Russian Premier league title, followed suit by winning the UEFA Cup and the rather innocuous UEFA Super http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/teamyomi/scQh/~3/jDv_pqLqK9s/russia-zenits-zenith-loveless-moscow.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Yomi)0<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/teamyomi/scQh?a=jDv_pqLqK9s:nk_sl3LIgEg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/teamyomi/scQh?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/teamyomi/scQh/~4/jDv_pqLqK9s" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.teamyomi.com/2009/04/russia-zenits-zenith-loveless-moscow.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628687905893125753.post-4026086538031661364Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:46:00 +00002009-04-21T09:02:58.149-05:00We all know the story of the Trojan Horse - after a fruitless 10 yr siege of Troy, the Greeks built a figure in shape of a horse in which a select group of soldiers hid. The Greek army then pretended to sail away which tricked the Trojans who pulled the horse into their city in a show of victory.

French international and ex-Lyon player Alou Diarra's 43'rd minute poke gave Les Girondins a deserved win against a rather lackluster Lyon side; adding misery to manager Claude Puel's future and potentially kissed away Lyon's title hopes.

The famous proverb - make hay while the sun shines - aptly applies to several clubs aiming to strip Bayern of consecutive Bundesliga titles, its 22nd in waiting.

This year maybe they deserve to go all the way…” Those truly sincere words were uttered by Lyon’s Juninho following the team’s 2-2 draw last weekend which saw the seven consecutive domestic champions lose top spot since week 4 of the Ligue 1.

As manager of Blackburn, Hughes formed a formidable top half team while operating on a dime budget.

It’s been a decade of highs and lows for Valencia. From the early decade triumphs in Spain and Europe to its recent managerial go-round and battle with relegation, Valencia is headed down a slippery slope.

Following league leader’s Hoffenheim’s 4-1 loss to 5th place Bayer Leverkusen, all eyes were on the weekend match up between Hertha Berlin and Bayern Munich. A win for either team would secure them the top spot, a place held by Hoffenheim since round 14.

Football might not exist in this sane world, but the Tottenham Hotspurs have a management philosophy as schizophrenic as an attacking Martian.

It’s probably a bit to early to start singing the praise of Diego Maradona, but after a 2-0 win against France, his tenure as Argentina’s manager might be a success after all. The shock appointment of Maradona as national team coach by the AFA was risky, as he had little experience in football management.
