Monk Posted 3 January, 2013 Share Posted 3 January, 2013 Can anyone confirm if this is the same Fran from Saints foundation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 3 January, 2013 Share Posted 3 January, 2013 Not sure, I know he had been doing some coaching for Saints in the Community. Basically he is a Spanish football coach who is mainly there to be a translator for Gaston. Nice guy - helping out on the training ground rather than coaching the team. He has been helping in the warm up the last few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted 3 January, 2013 Author Share Posted 3 January, 2013 That's the one, he was my partner on my youth modules around 6 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Charming Man Posted 3 January, 2013 Share Posted 3 January, 2013 Where was Javi when they needed him? Surely he's been sectioned by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 3 January, 2013 Share Posted 3 January, 2013 Where was Javi when they needed him? If you can find Jacinta Ela Eyena then you will find Javi nearby (and probably a signed photo of Javi de Pedro). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 3 January, 2013 Share Posted 3 January, 2013 Bit like that Japanese fella who was Lee's translator and now part of the coaching set up!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buctootim Posted 3 January, 2013 Share Posted 3 January, 2013 If you can find Jacinta Ela Eyena then you will find Javi nearby (and probably a signed photo of Javi de Pedro). No need. He's here. http://www.javierigeno.com/j/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy is actually a genuine coach but yes, they help around the training ground and act as translators/helpers for certain players to help them settle. Pretty reasonable really.

Monk Posted 3 January, 2013 Author Share Posted 3 January, 2013 Fran is a genuine coach as well, typically Spanish in his methods but nonetheless a very good coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 3 January, 2013 Share Posted 3 January, 2013 Christ. Looks like Javi made a career out of his courting of players. Judging from the amount of stuff he's stuck on there about marketing which is lifted from the public domain, I'd be inclined to think he's trying to pass himself off as someone he's not. The bit about "hotel management training" stashed under the bullsh111t about what he did when in Southampton and at Hoddle's Academy is probably nearer the truth, along with something about speaking two languages and that being handy to give the players someone to talk to in their own language for a bit.

Pretty reasonable really. And this is why Javi is no kind of "Football Consultant" - because all of the integration people nowadays also have other directly useful football-related skills.

trousers Posted 1 February, 2019 Share Posted 1 February, 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47092511?fbclid=IwAR0pEMkXAa_YZIwFFlbZ2i70ruRLY8xMn0xRe0rzobrmRDk6YZ_kgTbDARo Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has been labelled as a disciple of Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa, while Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman was once a student of the great Johan Cruyff. But the two former Southampton managers now seemingly have a disciple of their own. Lewes Women boss Fran Alonso describes his years alongside the pair in the Premier League as "like being at the best university in the world", having initially worked under Pochettino at Saints, before moving with Koeman to Everton.
