Bilic/Riza Connection

Mon Nov 18, 2024 10:59 pm

Bilic and Riza used to both be together at Watford didn't they? Maybe that's why they've both gone out to see Tan, for Bilic to be our new manager with Riza working closely by him?

According to Wiki, Riza was U23's coach during Bilic's time at Watford so not directly working together........ if Wiki is correct. But they would certainly know each other and each others style of coaching.

Most under 23 coaches work in collaboration with 1st team coach as those players come through to 1st team.... so safe to assume they had a working relationship... if put 2 & 2 together more likely to get 4 and 5... :D

Yes very true Allan. If this Bilic rumour is true then it's got the potential to be a good coaching relationship. I hope Riza is 100% on board with it.
