poptimists | MANAGERIAL VACANCY (Reply)

The Pop World Cup was shaken to its foundations last night as

giddyoldgoat sensationally RESIGNED from the Saudi Arabia managerial role, mere DAYS before their Group H clashes began. The departing manager blamed "technical difficulties" for the split but sources close to the Saudi camp had understood that his 'improv' tactics had proved controversial with the players, some of whom did not see eye-to-eye over his definition of a 'free role'. The Saudi PA have asked FIPA to draw up a managerial shortlist, and several out-of-work bosses are believed to be eyeing the post with interest, though to be fair even before this upheaval the Saudi team were considered underdogs in their group.

The Group H matches will be postponed by one day as a result of this.

Prospective managers should meet the following criteria:

- able to locate a Saudi Arabian pop track by Wednesday evening.
- not currently managing a team still in the contest
- that's it.

Holler in the comments box if you're interested. Joint managerial CVs will also be considered.
