Guidolin Allegedly Offered QPR Job...John Gregory Reportedly Interested in Port Vale?

-
Italian Channel Four - Guidolin offered QPR job Thursday 11 October, 2007
Ex-Palermo tactician Francesco Guidolin has been offered the manager’s job at Queens Park Rangers.
A number of Italians such as Gianluca Vialli and even Marcello Lippi had been linked with the post since the dismissal of Mike Gregory on October 1.
The speculation had been linked to the fact that the club’s new owner is Italian entrepreneur Flavio Briatore.
The whispers proved to be correct as Guidolin has received the call to guide the struggling Super Hoops.
The Shepherd’s Bush outfit recorded their first win of the season against Norwich on Monday – a game which Guidolin watched from the stands.
The 52-year-old has spent time at the helm of Udinese, Bologna, Genoa and endured a miserable spell at Monaco in 2005-06.
He is mostly associated with Palermo after two spells at the club and he was in charge for the Rosanero’s dream start to last season.
Guidolin is set to arrive in London tomorrow to finalise details and put pen to paper on a contract. Channel 4


Brighton Argus - Ex-Albion star fancies Vale job - By Andy Naylor
Comment
John Gregory wants a rapid return to management with Port Vale.
The former Albion midfielder is among 50 applicants for the post following the sacking of Martin Foyle at the end of last month.
Gregory lost his job at Championship strugglers Queens Park Rangers just 12 days ago.
Other applicants include Peter Shilton, Brian Little and ex-Huddersfield chief Peter Jackson, but former Vale striker Ronnie Jepson has ruled himself out of the running after resigning from Gillingham a month ago.
