He might have thought him not going into the dressing room would send it’s own message. Worked well, we held out from conceding a second goal for ages in the second half.
The only reason I can think of for the head coach delegating the half time team talk is if he thinks they can do it with better effect. No idea why he might think that.
As head coach I would have thought it was absolutely essential that it was his job to deliver the half time team talk. Can you imagine Mick Mc Carthy, Neil Warnock,Valerian Ismael ,Daniel Stendel or any other head coach /manager not doing. ? I hope/expect it is not true but just speculation or a wind up.
Maybe one of his coaches just speaks English better? I can't remember who it was, but one of the foreign coaches in the EPL couldn't speak English at first and had to delegate all of his instructions through an interpreter. I'd guess in the early days English managers abroad would also need the same help (Venables, Robson or Maclaren) while they got up to speed with the language. It might be in such a case that his presence could be a distraction to getting the message across to the players.
I think one or two posters on here might need the use of an abacus because adding 2 plus 2 & coming up with all kind of answers seems to be the trend , but when the knives are sharpened plenty start to slash , pathetic really .
I've thought of signing up to twitter & just spout utter B0ll0x but I realise I've the BBS to do that.
I think Schopp's English seems to be the most fluent of our foreign coaches, judging by the interviews I've seen at least.
And the same posters get wound up about it On a serious note, I posted this as I had seen the “rumours” on social media, so thought someone could clarify who had been at the game.
I can imagine one or two of those giving a bit of a talk, but their assistants would spend more time going over detail with the players
