Jimmy's coming home to win more matches

[Syferus]

Lads, I think yer over-estimating how valuable being an assistant coach for a year on a worse than average Chinese soccer team is on a resume..

[screenexile]

Yeah he might get a coaching gig somewhere low level but I can't see him getting a managers job. Maybe in the LoI or NIPL but that would be the height of it.

[Owenmoresider]

The Finn Harps job might become available at some stage.

[Fuzzman]

I really can't see it lads. He's got 5 young kids and has spent a lot of the last number years away from them over in Glasgow.
I'd say he wants to come home to the hills of Donegal and get back into the sport he loves so much.
He'll make enough money from Sky and the newspapers I'd say and his wife has a good job too.

I can't see him upping roots again and off to the UK or even Dublin.
How much would a intercounty manager be taking in now for his "time and expenses"?

[magpie seanie]

The FAI might come calling with a part time job for him......or certainly one he could split time away from home doing.

[Aaron Boone]

It would get him on a shortlist for Championship and below in England. A person worthy of consideration for interview.

I've never met Mcguinness Fuzzman, but surely if he has put so much time and effort into getting his coaching badges etc, and comes across as very ambitious, I'd imagine his goal is to be a first team coach/manager at a professional club.
I wouldn't be surprised if a club like Shrewsbury, rochdale etc took a punt on him.

If the best Lennon could do after winning all he could for years with Celtic was relegation-haunted Bolton in the Championship you're off-target if you think his psychologist, with a single season of senior (assistant) coaching, is going to be on any Championship shortlists.

Jimmy is an absolutely stellar GAA coach, but some here are blinded to how low down the soccer totem pole he still is.

Mcguiness won one all irelland  title . in GAA terms alone that's far from stellar.
even mickey 'non consecutive' Harte did much better than that

[seafoid]

Soccer management is a brutal game. McGuinness would be good as a strategy/leadership coach.

He was working with a bunch of lads more known for drinking than football, the change in Donegal was so fast it would give you whiplash. That ambush of Dublin in 2014 looks like one of the all-time great victories for a manager given what happened before and after it.

What would Mayo give to have a manager that won them 'just' one senior AI?

Unless he could talk himself into a job (which is a possibility I admit as I imagine he would come across as an impressive individual in an interview type situation) there isn't a whole pile on his CV to get himself a manager's job at a professional football club. Worked with the kids at Celtic and assistant manager of some Chinese outfit. Does he even have his coaching badges? Even the championship in England attracts foreign managers these days so the competition is fierce.

[Smokin Joe]

Lads, he was assistant to Roger Schmidt (who is a terrific coach).  He will have learnt plenty from Schmidt and that will look good on his CV if he seeks another soccer role.

That really is debatable

Paul Clement was a PE teacher and ended working up at the top European teams. Jim with his qualifications and CV will get a job in European soccer. He wasn't just a psychologist at Celtic but got involved in coaching too. Having Celtic alone on his CV is huge. It was Carlo Cudicini who remarked on him when he was getting his badges that Jim gave an unbelievable presentation. He'll be fine.
