So Matt Wilson has said that we expect to announce 2 of Bilic’ backroom staff today, after appointments over the weekend. Any idea who these could be?
No idea..............but then neither does Matt Wilson. Wrong again Matt, one day you will guess right.

Lads, can we keep this topic about Bilic please. I know there are valid reason for Lai being discussed but those discussions have already been discussed elsewhere  and so to avoid multiple topics have the same discussions can it be moved to the following one please -

Slaven Bilić has made his first appointments as Albion’s Head Coach by recruiting two assistants from his Croatian homeland to his coaching team.

Slaven will take charge of pre-season training when the players return next week with Dean Računica and Danilo Butorović at his side.

Sound like interesting appointments - good to see a couple more fresh faces come in to shake up the coaching side.

I like the sound of DANILO BUTOROVIĆ - multi lingual and  "expertise in technology and analysis will see him focusing particularly on pre-match preparation, recruitment and training preparations and assessment."

Julian Dicks manages Heybridge Swifts who play in the fifth division of the Isthmian League North. Can't see us matching their transfer budget or compo' demands. Time to move on to the next target before getting our hopes up, and as for landing that twenty plus goal striker of theirs we've got no chance.........
Fair point.
However, Woodard Wanderers, of the "Bob a Job" League, District 9, have just parted company with their half time orange slicer, Joe "Zico" Jones. Rumour has it he's "still got it" even with 85 years on his clock. Could be worth a cheeky bid.

From the sounds of things, Dean Racunia, is more of a long time adviser to Bilic looking at the posts he held when they worked together with the national team, although some individualised player work is referenced. The fact he has been out in Australia suggests he will be able to speak English. Danilo Butorovic sounds like he will be doing more of the technical analysis stuff and I dare say he'll be looking after set-pieces. Good to hear of a modern coach working in there and I'd imagine he will work well with Shan. Shan has been retained so it suggests that both he and Bilic will carry out much of the physical coaching. Good that Shan will still be involved in my view, clearly seems like a talented coach and a decent chap to boot. Financially it makes sense to retain some backroom staff so that you are not always paying out lots  every time a manager is sacked however this seems a good balance as it is good to have fresh faces, voices and ideas.

There is a large Croatian population in Australia though.

Most Croatians speak decent english in my experience. I deal with lots of people from Eastern Europe.

Of course but as assistant manager of Melbourne Knights you'd think maybe he had to use English. As VANDERLEI says, he probably speaks English in any case. To be honest I only mentioned it as with Butorovic the press release mentioned he is multi-lingual.

Apart from old-man Brunt we don't have any one who can take a free kick!

For the first time in years i am actually starting to feel excited about Albion. The coaches seem to be actually progressive and not the usual dinosaurs/ nice guys we employ.
I hope the owner and indeed the fans back them all the way, even if they get off to a slow start.

Interesting that Dean Racunica is listed as a scout for Bilic's old club. Will be interesting to see how he and Dowling work together

I actually meant the setup and routines for set-pieces but agree, not many set-piece specialists. Phillips is decent on corners to be fair.

I think there will be wheeling and dealing in the European divisions, we won't have three Croations fluent in languages and then sign all British players.

He's not been in the UK at all since we appointed him. He will be unveiled next week when he returns from his pre-arranged holidays.

Im really pleased with Slaven, and allowing him to bring in two of his own coaches is very pleasing.

Brunt can put it in a dangerous area from a crossed free kick but as far as hitting the target from a direct free kick...he can't control his shooting.
