Simon Clifford - The Man Who Brought The Brazilian Game to England

Modern Soccer Coach Podcast · Mar 28, 2019 · 53m

Gary is joined by Simon Clifford, an English coach who, over twenty years ago, challenged the concept that Brazilians possessed a natural talent and instead opened Brazilian soccer schools around the world, as well as working alongside senior players at Garforth Town and Southampton. Simon talks about the inspiration behind his journey, his friendship with Brazilian player Juninho, changing mindsets in the 1990s, bringing Socrates over for a non-league game, and the experience he had when he took his ideas to the Premier League with Southampton.
