FORMER CHELSEA GOALKEEPER Carlo Cudicini was left highly impressed by the motivational speech given by Jim McGuinness at an FAI Pro-Licence course yesterday.
McGuinness led Donegal to two All-Ireland finals in three years, winning the 2012 final, and is well-known for his inspirational team-talks and fine motivational skills.
Cudicini, who is also obtaining his coaching badges, took to Twitter to express his admiration for the Donegal man.
McGuinness has been working with Celtic for over two years now and he has ambitions of furthering his career in soccer management as he gets his Uefa coaching badges. He is highly thought of over in Parkhead since he took on the role of performance consultant on a part-time basis in 2012.
The former Donegal manager even had a hand to play in Europe’s success in the Ryder Cup last year as captain Paul McGinley brought him on board to give him advice.
Despite having no relative background in soccer, it is thought that McGuinness could go far in the game as a manager once he obtains his Uefa badges.
