Tardelli wasn't in charge of Inter when Robbie Keane actually joined. It was in fact Marcello Lippi who signed him. Lippi was sacked not long after and then Tardelli took over. Pity Keane didn't return to Inetr after his loan at Leeds because Tardelli was sacked again by the end of the 2000/2001 season.

Also, someone mentioned the fact that Tardelli was sacked well Trapattoni was also sacked not too long ago (pos. February 2006) when he was in charge of Stuttgart.

Tardelli did actually play Keane in his first game in charge of Inter

you could probably count on one had the amount of managers NOT sacked in professional football.....means nadda unless he is a serial sackee!!!

Massimo Moratti supposedly said that his biggest mistake was letting go of Robbie Keane. Perhaps he was the person who decided to let Keane leave?

Tardelli was the one not picking him.

The Leeds deal was struck when Tardelli was still in charge, it was a loan till the end of the season that December with an option to buy at a set price which Leeds then exercised. The only way Keane could have stayed at Inter was had Leeds not taken up their option.....

I never said anything about who was picking him. I understand that Tardelli might not have rated Keane too highly, but it was mentioned earlier in the thread that managers in Italy don't always buy and sell players.

Does Tardelli also start work on 1 May? It would be great if Trap had an assistant ready to start watchin games now.

Tardelli had the pick of Ronaldo, Vieri and Recoba (who cost about 36million at the time) so it was always gonna be hard for a 20yo to play every week.

Lippi was sacked by Inter and went on to win the World Cup. Every manager gets sacked, didnt St. Mirren (?) sack Ferguson.

Who cares who decided if Keane played or not at Inter. He's still the best striker we have and neither Trapattoni or Tardelli can overlook that

Lippi was sacked from Inter, Tardelli took over eventually getting the sack.In the meantime Trap was sacked from Italy, Lippi took over and won the world cup.Now two parts of that football manager merry go round land in Ireland.
Not a bad deal for us at all I'd say.

Starying on March 1st apparently, good move, Trap can hit the ground running when he starts in May, Tardelli will already have taken in a number of games by then...

Yeah living in Dublin for the month of April and improving his English also.

**amaccann** · 18/02/2008, 12:16 PM

Sounds like they really are taking it seriously then. Not that I ever thought otherwise, but it's boding well to, at the very least, a committed management team. Time will tell

absolutely delighted when I heard that news. Means that Tardelli will have a couple of months at the business end of the season to watch all of our players and presumably will be in contact with Trap on a regular basis with "scouting reports" (for want of a better term!) of our players.

very very encouraging start...
