Fair play to him.
He was always known as world class for coach development and was a brilliant assistant to speed and Coleman. Obviously the job he did in Morocco is known around the world after what they did in the world cup.
However he's transitioned to the elite level such as viera number 2 at Palace and now a number 1 in Italy really well.
It's such a shame to hear the job he really wanted was wales manager and we have Rob page- undisputededly a league 1 or league 2 quality manager if that in charge.
He's way too good for cardiff city but I would absolutely love him here in any capacity. Number 1 ideally. That ship has sailed probably but there probably moments in the past 10 years where a club like us could have got him.

Was already agreed he would focus full time on his head of development role there at the end of the season.
Never really struck me as someone who wants to be the manager.
He'd be fantastic here in any coaching set up. As he would almost at any club tbf.
He is probably pretty happy at como.

Oh for the good times
Wonder if he drank any Perry to celebrate ?
(One for our older viewers)
Lake Como or Splott Beach.
I know which one I’d prefer.
Come home Osian.
Apparently this year was littered with some magic moments
Como 1907 have had an interesting past, and I don't think it would be mean to call them a basket case of a club! This makes Roberts' achievement even more remarkable, although they have been financed by an Indonesian tobacco company since 2019. Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas are also minority shareholders, which would help explain how he ended up there.
He definitely had Magic Moments.
It seems to be unanimous on here over how brilliant a coach Osian Roberts is, and i have no doubt that he's decent, but my question is how do people know how good he is by just talking generally about his abilities? He's done well with Wales and Como. Ok, why has he done well, and is it all down to him. I have absolutely no idea, and i suspect most people don't either.
Ive also got no idea whether Osian Roberts is this wonder coach either. Hes 58 and hes hardly got a glittering CV.
Palace wasnt a success either.
If this guy is so great, how come he’s never landed a significant job in either the Premier League or the Championship?
I'm not sure but perhaps:
He doesn't have the reputation that comes with a glittering playing career. He seems to have taken a particular road in coaching and it's difficult to get back on the right treadmill. A large proportion of fans would be up in arms if their club appointed some old Welsh league bloke and he wouldn't get the time. Or one can be an encylopedia of knowledge but also sound like an encyclopedia.
He seems to have done well this year but I don't know the circumstances.
Football clubs and people who run them are normally stupid.
Why did birmingham sack eustacè when in the play offs and bring Rooney in?
Owners just go for names and are incredibly lazy.
Any club like Brighton or Brentford or ipswich who try and do something a bit different against the norm absolutely reap the benefits.
There can't be any industry run as badly as football clubs.
Why did Gérard and lampard get jobs straight in the premier league at decent clubs also? How did they get on?
Football clubs are lazy and stupid.
They didnt they both had jobs elsewhere.
Like Patrick Viera.
He was only "manager" in title as the other guy didn't have the right badges. All team talks, selections, and in game changes were done by the real manager. Can't be bothered looking for his name. It was discussed at length on the guardian football podcast this week.
I completely agree with you about football clubs, fans give 'Football People' way too much credit, it doesn't answer the point i've made about Roberts though-Why is he as good as some people say he is on here-Because i wouldn't have the first idea what he does or how good he is. That's not to say that he isn't good, i jut don't know how anyone can speak with any authority on his ability. Maybe, as fans, we're doing exactly the same thing certain football clubs have done with Gerrard, Lampard and Rooney when it comes to Osian Roberts.
Cesc Fabregas.
That's the guy, i think he'll be qualified for next season so will revert from assistant to manager officially.
Good article in last months 442, Fabregas credits Roberts for guiding him throughout the season. He’s very complimentary about Roberts’ tutelage.
Como getting promoted is still a good achievement whoever the manager was.
Good stuff, been a while since i read 442
Oh no doubt, fully agree.
