That's what I'm thinking. He could have been brought in as 'technical director' or whatever he was at AC Milan. We don't know for sure yet.eaststandmike said:

Will be interesting to see if Thuram replaces Hamer in goal tomorrow night. Hamer has been good since coming back so on form, should not be dropped.1

José Riga has been appointed as Head Coach of Charlton Athletic, the club confirmed on Tuesday afternoon
Iain Liddle reports
José Riga has been appointed as Head Coach of Charlton Athletic, the club confirmed on Tuesday afternoon.
The Belgian-born former Standard Liege boss will take charge of his first game on Wednesday against Huddersfield Town at The Valley (7.45pm).
Riga took Liege to the last 16 of the Europa League in the 2011/12 season, winning their group before eventually being knocked out of the competition by Hannover 96 over two legs.
Earlier in this career, Riga won the Belgian second division with R.A.E.C. Mons for the first time in the club’s history in his first year in charge.
In the following season he led the side to a respectable ninth-place finish in the Jupiler Pro League before eventually parting company with the club in 2008.
In recent years Riga also spent time as technical director of Cercle Sportif Vise in Belgium and worked at the Aspire Academy in Qatar.
Riga will work alongside Karel Fraeye, who also joins as Assistant Head Coach.
Following the departure of Chris Powell, Riga becomes the 23rd man to take permanent charge of Charlton’s first team.

WE ARE NOW A FOOTBALL ACADEMY FOR BREEDING PLAYERS. Fuck sake. Absolutely fuming, RD will be poking players in the team and pulling them out for fun while this guy keeps them training. Results mean nothing to RD, players will. Not a happy bunny one f'in bit.0

"Head Coach". Cringe.0

José Riga clearly no more than a puppet for the Belgian, someone for the fans to shout at and to take the heat. I wonder what reception he will get as he walks out to take Chris' place in the dugout tomorrow?0

Is that necessarily a problem? For example, Mourinho was Head Coach at Porto and Real Madrid ... doesn't make him less of a manager.SELR_addicks said:http://www.cafc.co.uk/news/article/20140311-jose-riga-appointed-head-coach-1413061.aspx

You are wrong. what am I 'arguing'?ken_shabby said:
Do you honestly think CP would have got six points from those two games? By you're argument, CP would also have been useless if he failed to do so!seth plum said:Riga if your so good your first job is to win tomorrow and Saturday and keep us up. If you don't do that what is the point of you at all? If you do help us escape, then you have to give us a reason to come next season too.
With me you have no slack at all, if you want understanding, and to be given a chance, then deliver the results straight away. You have 27 hours before your first match.
I am telling Jose Riga he has to win matches and keep us up. If Chris failed to win against Huddersfield and Millwall it would be against a backdrop of no confidence from Roland. Jose has the confidence from Roland so he is in a different place altogether and therefore ought to win both matches to at least be equal to what Chris Powell 'might' have done.
If we lose those matches, or fail to get at least six points then you could equally 'argue' we should have kept Chris Powell.
I thought changing a manager was supposed to improve things, so Jose start with six points from the next six, and we will review the situation then.
Otherwise Jose lose yourself in your Tesco Hudl and your theories, oh and you can also use it to keep up to date with how Standard Liege are getting on.

I don't know why they don't rename us to Standard Liege 'B' and get it over with

In fairness if you're a footballer and a new guy comes in and says we're going to play passing football instead of lumping it to Church then you might have a smile on your face too8 -
what do you think we should do? boo him? throw rotten eggs at him? invade the pitch and put his lights out? Jesus. We should give him our wholehearted support. He is now our Manager. Whatever the circumstances I'm sure he wants to be a success. He didn't sack CP. Get behind him. If you can't then perhaps you should stay at home.mogodon said:José Riga clearly no more than a puppet for the Belgian, someone for the fans to shout at and to take the heat.

its the shock that some seem to have with the sacking and the non manager role now at cafc
that amazes me the most
this has and was coming since jan5 -
Didn't really say it was a good or bad thing. Think obviously its more of a European model, which RD is a fan of.stonemuse said:

Not saying it is a good thing as we don't yet know, but it can work.
But with the current circumstances, it doesn't take much of a leap to see that he might not have complete control on the management/recruitment side.0 -

Agree Large.
Maybe he'll turn out to be the tactical geniuses some said we need? Or play attractive attacking football?
No idea how this will turn out but seems many (especially on Twitter) have already written him off as a yes man and decided we'll be nothing more than a feeder club in League 2. If that's the case RD should have saved his money and bought a much smaller club.1 - Sponsored links:

Exactly my thoughts. RD isn't going to just let us rot in the lower leagues, he paid good money for the club.Scoham said:Agree Large.

Can someone get the thread title changed to 'head coach'. There is a large difference between the two. Ta.0

I think that the fans need to let RD know that we will not just lay down and turn us into a feeder team. Boycott games, RD out posters whatever... And to those who say we need to get behind the club, this isn't the Charlton that we all love from last year, its Charlton the Standard Liege feeder team. RIP Charlton 1905-2014 0

I notice he's brought his assistant too. So Dyer following him out of the door?0

This is what all the Powell Out mob have wanted so they'll no doubt be chuffed.0

I would welcome any of the Standard Liege posters who come on here for their view on Riga. Was he the popular manager that caused them to revolt after being let go?0
