Cronky Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 A larger than life character, experience of living and working in the North-East, popular with the fans, successful experience in management, a much-travelled character who's probably picked up lots of different ideas - he ticks a lot of boxes. Yeah, he's a bold choice that might just come off. I don't particularly want another Ron Manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can hear CP40 and NG charging towards their PC's as I type on their white horses cutting their daily KK prayers short at this blasphemous attempt by myself.

Might be worth getting a view of players like Gary Speed who were in the same squad as to his suitability, managing in Greece is probably a lot different to here.

Thespence Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Temuri Ketsbaia will become a new head coach of the Georgian football team. President of the Georgian Football Federation Zviad Sichinava said: “I think it is possible to say today that the Georgian team will be trained by Temuri Ketsbaia”. Ketsbaia will replace Argentine Hector Cuper under whose leadership the Georgian team played too weak in the qualification matches of the 2010 world championship. Temuri Ketsbaia’s football career started in Dinamo in the Sukhumi city. Later he transferred to Tbilisi’s Dinamo and played there until 1992. Then the midfielder started his career abroad. He travelled over Europe and the most popular club in which he played was Newcastle United. Ketsbaia ended his career in the Cyprus Anorthosis Famagusta and later became a coach in this team. Cypriots got to the group round of the League of Champions under his supervision. And his last jobplace was Georgian Olimpiakos. http://www.news.az/articles/1628 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Was watching a tv interview with old Temuri on local Cyprus box. We should be breaking the bank to bring in someone like him in midfield. What a class act he was (just been musing over a compilation or two of his).

BlueStar Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Just spotted this from a few days ago http://www.betfairfootball.com/premier-league/newcastle-united/newcastles-next-messiah-impresses-again-280311.html Newcastle's next messiah impresses again The belief that Newcastle fans only take to managers that have a history with the club, such as Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer, is somewhat overstated, but it's undeniably easier to earn the trust of the Toon Army - and most fanbases - if you've already given the supporters reason to believe in you. Chris Hughton took a while to win around the St James' Park crowd, with his success leading him to become very popular before his controversial sacking, while the jury is still out on Alan Pardew due to the belief that he got the job because of his friendship with Mike Ashley and co rather than his ability. So without a so-called messiah figure on Tyneside right now, some Magpies fans must be tracking the progress of former midfielder Temuri Ketsbaia, who was very popular in his three years in the north east, keenly in the early years of his coaching career. Those who are can't fail to be impressed. The 43-year-old, who also had spells in Britain with Wolves and Dundee, guided his first employers Anorthosis Famagusta, into the group stage of the 2008-09 Champions League - becoming the first Cypriot team to progress that far - and coming agonisingly close to reaching the knockout rounds. After claiming two titles there, he had a brief, unbeaten stint with Olympiacos, before taking charge of the Georgia national team in 2009. His return to his homeland has been glorious, with not a single defeat suffered in ten games, their 1-0 weekend victory over Croatia being the best result yet. As a result, Georgia - having never previously reached an international tournament - are two points off the top of the incredibly open Euro 2012 qualifying Group F, which they are [6.2] to finish first in. Given the credit Slaven Bilic received for his hot streak as Croatia boss, Ketsbaia deserves huge praise. Ketsbaia admitted after Keegan's second departure in 2008 that he would love to manage Newcastle, so if there is a vacancy once Georgia's participation in Euro 2012 has concluded, the fiery cult hero would have to be seriously considered.

54 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Apparently they sacked him as he got knocked out of a semi final of a cup and had only picked up 5 points in 9. Imagine getting to a point where that is seen as so bad you have to get rid of the manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
