Rudy Gestede

[Wiggy]

 

 

I know this  may have been brought up before?

It intrigues me how such a left field appointment as Head of Football Operations could be made at an established championship club. Rudy Gestede is 37 years old and seems to have zero experience in coaching or management.

AI: Connection between Steve Kean and Rudy Gestede

The connection: They overlapped at the club

Because both were at Melbourne Victory in the 2020-21 period, Kean (as part of the coaching staff) and Gestede (as a player) worked simultaneously at the club. Specifically:

 

• Kean was assistant coach from October 2020, and Gestede joined as a player in November 2020.
• They were both part of Melbourne Victory’s setup in that season.
• Hence, their connection is through their employment at the same club at the same time
•  
• 
  Is this a remarkable coincidence or are other factors at play?

(Tin hat on)

There's so much you can legitimately go at them on that I think this is a red herring and a bit of a coincidence which deflects attention from the real issues. A bit like the conspiracy rumours in the old days about Venky's not being the actual owners etc.

Even if it's not sheer coincidence and say for the sake of argument Kean/Gestede/Waggott and Pasha have connections to or dealings with some of the same people or agents within the footballing world, what does it prove other than a bit of an old boys network?

2020/21 you say. Hmm. 🫣

Apparently the Coach that season was someone called Grant Brebner a Scottish man from Edinburgh who doesn't seem to have had any managerial experience before or after. Him and Kean seemingly worked at Reading at the same time years ago.

Kean took over as interim manager in April until the end of the season when Brebner was sacked.
