J_RFC87 761 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_SmithHe developed his coaching skills, not only at Tannadice Park as assistant manager to Jim McLean, at a time when Dundee United were Scottish champions and European Cup semi-finalists, but also with the SFA. In 1978 he was appointed coach of the Scotland Under 18 team, and helped Scotland to win the European Youth Championship in 1982. He became coach of the Under 21 team, and was Alex Ferguson's assistant manager during the 1986 Mexico World Cup. By then, Graeme Souness had invited him to become assistant manager at Rangers and he was instrumental in their success over the following years. When Souness left, Smith was appointed manager of the club in April 1991. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDI 0 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 OK.Walter had been a coach/assistant manager before taking over as Rangers manager and totally dominating the Scottish scene.I'm not sure lack of "experience" is always a bad thing. Especially if the man being appointed has a passion for the club (which, incidentally, neither Barnes nor Dalglish really did when appointed at Celtic).
