Changing Room Chat: Greece coach is a tactical smoker

GREECE coach Fernando Santos will devise his tactical masterplan to upset Germany at Euro 2012 in a cloud of smoke after stating that he thinks clearer when puffing away on a fag. Santos, quizzed over his habit by reporters yesterday, said: “I smoke because I like it.

“Maybe because I think about the tactics so much is the reason I smoke. I have to try to find the right options and tactics and when I smoke I have more time to reflect.”

It certainly worked for Argentina’s 1978 World Cup-winning coach Cesar Luis Menotti.
