Dujshebaev the best coach, best atmosphere in the Veszprem Arena
After ehfCL.com unveiled the individual coaches’ dream teams of the VELUX EHF Champions League participants of the 2015/16 season, here’s the second part of their ranking - this time around we are dealing with the best coaches and arenas.
The questions were: “Which three coaches in the VELUX EHF Champions League impress you the most?” and “hich arena and fans in the VELUX EHF Champions League (not yours) do you enjoy playing in most?”
The result is obvious: Spanish coaches are appreciated most by their colleagues from all over Europe: Five of the six top ranked coaches are Spanish, only Icelandic Alfred Gislason (THW Kiel) managed to make it among this armada.
Number one coach, in the opinion of his colleagues, is Talant Dujshebaev (Vive Tauron Kielce), who was nominated 14 times, ahead of Gislason (11) and the Spaniards Xavi Pascual (FC Barcelona Lassa/9), Manuel Cadenas (Orlen Wisla Plock/7), Juan Carlos Pastor (Pick Szeged/6) and Raul Gonzalez (Vardar Skopje/5).
