Mixu Paatelainen on International Management
How do you mastermind a positive result against the World Champions? and how do you tell a player that his international career is over?
Mixu Paatelainen and Craig Levein's management careers have a few parallels. Both started at Cowdenbeath FC, both managed Dundee United and both have managed their countries. So Mixu joined Craig and Amy back where it started, in the board room at Central Park, Cowdenbeath to take a look at the life of an international manager. We find out what a manager gets up to in between international fixtures, Mixu recalls the time he led Finland against the World Champions and Craig talks about the time a player pulled out of his squad because he claimed he was fatigued...and how Craig knew that wasn't true!
