Summary

Hola!

You’re right on time for another special Big Interview clip show. You might recall that we dedicated a previous podcast to guests who had played abroad, and a couple more who have always wanted to.

Well, in Season Two this theme came up a lot, so this episode is all about guests who took the brave decision to move abroad as coaches.

This includes Phil Neville, who joined the staff at Valencia. He explains the lengths he would go to in order to learn Spanish, as well as the contrasts between working in Spain compared to England, while John Collins talks about his time in charge of Charleroi and the reason he had to leave.

Alex McLeish also spent time in Belgium with Genk and he talks about his experiences there, as well as explaining why he turned down an offer to take charge of the Gabon national team.

Enjoy!
