The Roadrunners have officially announced the hiring of Lister City manager Maliska as captain. The two sides signed a five-year contract. The young Italian coach, 44, assumes the duties of City captain Gaudio. According to reports, he will mimic it 'Blue Moon' tactics, when the 'Double Blue' confrontation, the master-disciple duel will surely have a good show.
Last summer, Maliska became the leader of Lister City. He led the team to win the championship in one season and return to the Premier League next season. The coach's ability was highly recognized, thus attracting the attention of major football clubs. The British Daily Mail refers to the fact that Chelsea paid £10 million (about HK$100 million) in compensation to Lister City this time. He managed to invite Maliska and signed a five-year contract. He seems to want to share the compensation and reduce the chance of financial irregularities.
Maliska has served as coach of Manchester City's youth army and assistant coach of Godio. Analysts in the British media have pointed out that Maliska will mimic Manchester City's 433 formation and arrange to switch positions left and right from time to time to play the role of a defensive midfielder. This is expected to improve the Roadrunners' offense. With Maliska on board, the Chelsea boys are reportedly excited, believing that they can become another Godiona and lead the team's revival.
