Dino Maamria interview: Former Burton, Oldham and Stevenage Boss are built for the return of EFL | Football news

Dino Maamria is 18 months for the closure of a three-year chapter in the league’s club, Burton Albion’s ways.

It was a rare long break for a man involved in football for his whole life.

“Football is ruthless,” says Maamria Sky Sports. “And managing requires a total commitment, so it was necessary to take a break and think.”

Sandhurst, Frank Negotiations and Klopp Insight

He first spent a while with his family. Since today, it was mixed and travels to be ready for the next role.

“Development is important” says Maamria. “I traveled a wide trip – Sandhurst Military Academy, Valencia, Brentford, Leeds United – absorb new ideas and prospects.”

In Sandhurst, he gained skills that are invaluable in the football leadership, to make leadership and decision, decide under pressure.

He was also impressed by watching coaches such as Thomas Frank in Brentford and Daniel Farke in Leeds.

“Seeing how military leaders managed stress and hierarchy, he forced me to think differently about managing teams,” he says.

“Brentford’s pressing and counter-pressing style, their rapid transitions and attention, really resonated with me. Matches my teams with what I want to play.”

One of Maamria’s recent experiences, RB came in a week with the Red Bull Group in Leipzig.

“It was an incredible opportunity,” he says. “Jurgen Klopp, three days, Sporting Lisbon, Salzburg, PSV Eindhoven and Red Bull New York was three days along with the best coaches.

“This exchange shapes is interested in interesting and liquid football. I can’t wait to bring it to my next role.”

‘Firefighter’ manager and his philosophy

Maamria admits a ‘firefighting’ manager, accepting crisis clubs and sets a reputation to move them away from the rails.

It is a label dressed with great extent.

“This is a difficult task to combat difficulties. But I always surrendered. Five clubs and each time the first goal was successful,” he said.

But the firing of fire can get its number.

“You want to be able to push just forward at a time,” he acknowledged. “I want to build a sustainable success, develop players and raise the table up. Every year it is very tedious to stay safe every year.

“I want to be a place with time and sources to build something meaningful. Not only to survive, it does not grow.”

The desire to return

Still 51, Maamria’s passion for coaching is brighter than ever.

“I’m training is my life,” he says. “The player is in the center of everything. You build the winning teams by creating the right environment.

“I’ve been in football in my life. I want to go back. I didn’t understand how hard it will be. Especially every day you are playing in your mind.”

For Maamria, this is going to find the right compatibility and it remains confident that the next opportunity will come.

“Timing matters. I’m not just hopeless to do anything,” he says. “I want to work in a place where I can develop players, build a winner and create sustainable success.

“I managed the fighting teams and kept safe. I developed the players who started playing at higher levels. Games, even in difficult situations I know how it will be in difficult situations.

“I work hard behind the scenes and will be ready to give everything when the right club arrives. The exercise is my life. I’m ready to get back.”
