It could be the kiss of death for Berti. SFA supremo David Taylor has given Vogts his full backing and we all know what that means for football managers.
Mind you, it may be that Taylor actually is mindful of the massive compensation fee which Berti would be paid if sacked. The SFA leadership have made so many cock-ups that they would rather avoid any further embarassment. Keep Berti. No embarassment. Does not compute.
There is an interesting interview with Berti in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung where Berti reveals why he took the Scotland job:
I accepted the offer from Scotland before even seeing the players on film or reading anything about them.
I have carefully reviewed the German original of the interview and there is an interesting addition which seems to have been omitted from the English translation. I can exclusively reveal it to you here:
But when I heard about the British fat cats who get paid huge sums for failure, I knew I could pull off the job.
If we're really lucky, maybe Taylor and co. will get in on the act as well.
