The Philippine Football Federation has announced the appointment of Albert Capellas as the new head coach of the men’s national football team a few days ago.
Capellas, a Spanish UEFA pro license coach, brings with him more than three decades of experience to the national team. He spent more than 10 years at FC Barcelona aside from stops at several high-profile clubs such as Bronby in Denmark, Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel to name a few as an assistant to notable football names. He was also instrumental in the best showing so far of Denmark’s Under-21 from 2019 to 2021.
“Of course, it will not be easy. This is a journey. It is a process, and there will be ups and downs. And some moments, they will fail. Our job is to help them learn from the fails,” Capellas said during his first interview after his appointment. Capellas will have his baptism of fire next month at the King’s Cup in Thailand. While The Designated Kit Man has so many questions in mind, I would rather wait for Capellas to put into action his words of optimism before making any judgment. One of the few things I learned lately when it comes to coaches of the men’s national team is that the ink, literally, announcing their arrival hasn’t dried yet and they are gone due to various, obvious and not-so-obvious reasons.
He also added that his daughter’s education also played a crucial role in his decision. Sato’s daughter, Neila, has started going to school. “I just feel that playing for One Taguig FC this season is the best for me. And this feels home already because I’ll be with people whom I have known since coming from Sweden more than eight years ago, so I’m just literally and figuratively, just coming home,” he explained.
