Hmm. I think he's much more of a head coach than an assistant coach.

I especially don't think he'd work well with Darije, seems to have a very very different way of coaching in terms of how he deals with players.

Perhaps he'd be able to work as an assistant to a different coach, but I'm not convinced.

Think the best point made is you’d have the same clash of styles. I’m sure Jose would be more professional than Rado in that he wouldn’t undermine the coach, but Darije would probably rather avoid the possibility of a clash altogether and bring in an assistant who shares his vision of a playing style.

I’d also guess Jose would rather build on his success as a head coach at TW than be an assistant at the nix.

Depends if the assistant's job is to be consigliere like perhaps Brian Turner was or to provide different kinds of preparation and analysis like Luca Trani was?
