Football fashion, far from a faux-pas itself.

Have you realised the fashion sense with some of the coaches on your television screen? There are those standing on the touchline well-dressed, with pride at stake and with their appearance and those whom quite frankly show little resemblance to their peers and are more obliterate to the theme and seem to fade and disembark onto a sheer disregard with a simple tracksuit that somewhat downgrades the elegance, the nobility of coaching, teaching and managing in football.

It is not a matter of linguistic insight however in Italy, an allenatore can be referred to as a dottore because of his knowledge of the game, his ability to pass on skills and vision in a pedagogical manner to his players, his pupils. As with most of South America, profesor or profe is also widely accepted to denote respect, many well-spoken and some possessing educational qualifications backing their football playing and coaching careers. All a tough ask for these professionals in a vocation where results are paramount to success driving the direction and fate of being employed with a club or on the contrary, facing the sack.

Conquering the eyes of the camera lens, securing confidence amongst their chief directives on the club's board of members are renovating and changing the face to a game usually and traditionally too macho for every body's standards. Joachim Loëb is also on the international spectrum somebody keeping a more slick standard with Germany. From the ever changing footballer in sandals and joggers into a generation of coaches constantly weary of their image like Pep Guardiola, Barcelona's proud mastermind tactician not only serious with his decisions and declarations in press conferences along with his own flair and elegant style of appearance backing his character when grabbing the attention and headlines.

These are a few managers who deserve mentioning and are capable of attracting attention to those not interested in the game at the slightest and can still act as ambassadors, bringing a new approach as with the case of Michael Laudrup, "the great Dane" whom last season in 2008-09 when in charge of Spain's La Liga outfit Getafe registered a record number of new memberships simply because of his young approach and attitude to his profession shaping a newfound success with the club.

The same effect was left with Real Madrid back in 2003 with Carlos Queiroz when at the helm, fondly remembered by all female fans of the Spanish giant. His countryman José Mourinho is a different case, while with Porto and Chelsea in his prime, always stubborn and elegant with his posture and appearance, well-known to cause strife and controversy especially with his love-hate relationship with the media and keeping a performance strictly within that frame and now in the fashion capital of Milan, getting carried away with it all may well cause the wrong influence when his role is to take his Inter to an unprecedented fifth-straight Scudetto title to which he is well aware and where his predecessor Roberto Mancini must have passed on his advice to the Portuguese tactician whom was hardly far off capturing the attention of the opposite sex.
