Thoughts on the 4-1-4-1 formation? Kind of a variation of the 4-3-3, and it's mostly only used in the attacking half, so I'd be interested to know your thoughts
Quite an interesting option. Very strong defensively, especially against opponents' counter-attacks, and good for build-up play. Offensively might be more challenging as you will need a high-quality striker. Both central attacking midfielders should have a high technical and physical level since, from time to time, they will need to support the sole striker by making runs in behind, as well as distributing the ball. If you have such players, this formation may become a really good choice
Well, I think Greek managers are now among the best in Europe. It seems they have adopted much from the Portuguese purely academic approach and complemented it with their knowledge of local football to find what works best for Greece. The success of the Greek national team in 2004 is evidence of this. They might continue experimenting to invent their own methodologies, which may become even more popular than the Portuguese ones. As for me personally, I like the work of Otto Rehhagel and Takis Lemonis

@@mganalysisproduction565 Start by coaching some lower league clubs and, if the opportunity arises, consider switching to the academy of a professional club. Don't rush the process, focus on enjoying it ;)
