Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, he flies into Casablanca, Morocco. Another team but it’s still the same old story; a fight for love and glory...
Giovanni Trapattoni reportedly arrived in Morocco last night with a view to becoming manager of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations hosts

We're hearing reports that the Trap won't be bringing Marco Tardelli with him as his assistant has been linked with a move to Greece. Rumours are that Trap told Tardelli:
I’ve got a job to do, too. Where I’m going, you can’t follow. What I’ve got to do, you can’t be any part of. Marco, I’m no good at being noble, but it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of two little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you’ll understand that.
Tardelli responded:
We’ll always have Paris.
After landing in Morocco, Trapattoni's job interview was a brief one.
Moroccans: Who are you really, and what were you before? What did you do and what did you think, huh?
Trap: We said no questions.
Trap: Are you sure this place is honest?
Moroccans: You know how you sound…? Like a man who’s trying to convince himself of something he doesn’t believe in his heart.
Trap: Just because you despise me, you are the only one I trust ... If we stop breathing, we’ll die. If we stop fighting our enemies, the world will die.
Moroccans: Trapattoni, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
I'll get my coat.
