Thomas Kleine

[rooo]

Anyone know if his work permit has come through yet?

His details aren't on here yet:

www.htafc.com/matches/technical-staff/

I presume that he can't help with training etc until permission is granted.

I wonder why it's taking longer than André Breitenreiter and Asif Šarić?

They've got a full in-tray and they got through Andre and Asif pretty quickly but it'll be a while before they get to Thomas?

I was a bit puzzled to see you asking this until I discovered you're no longer working for the club.

Pity, as I've long regarded you as the thinking man's ITK on here 

Enjoy your retirement.


Here are the GBE criteria for an Assistant Manager: www.thefa.com/-/media/files/thefaportal/governance-docs/registrations/mens-assistant-managers-gbe-criteria-202324.ashx

My guess is that TK's application will be having to go through the Exceptions Panel as he lacks the required time working as an assistant in a top league (AB and AS presumably automatic passes). I shouldn't have thought it will be a problem for TK as he exceeds the minimum coaching qualification, has top flight experience as an Assistant with Dusseldorf, and Head Coach experience at a lower level.

Actually, on closer inspection, this is nonsense - the requirement for Coaches is a lot more relaxed than players: 36 out of the last 60 months working in a "Top League". The definition of "Top League" is anything down to Band 5. On my totting up, with 17 months in the Bundesliga and 19 in Bundesliga 2, TK is actually the only one of the three that fulfils this criterion!
