Paulo Bento arrives: what is expected from the coach of the tenth legionnaire?

It is becoming increasingly clear that the new head coach of the Uzbekistan national team will be Paulo Bento. If the Portuguese specialist takes the position of our national team, he will be recorded as the 10th foreign coach in history. Previously, the "white wolves" were led by the following foreign specialists:

1. Ubiraja Vega Da Silva (Brazil) - 8 matches, 4 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses.

2. Pavel Sadyrin (Russia) - 1 match, 1 loss.

3. Vladimir Salkov (Russia) - 19 matches 10 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses.

4. Leonid Ostroushko (Kazakhstan) - 1 match, 1 win.

5. Hans Jürgen Göde (Germany) - 3 matches, 1 draw, 2 losses.

6. Bob Hafton (England) - 3 matches, 1 win, 2 draws.

7. Valery Nemopnyashchi (Russia) - 6 matches, 3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss.

8. Hector Cuper (Argentina) - 17 matches, 7 wins, 4 draws, 6 losses.

9. Katanes (Slovenia) - 42 matches, 26 wins, 8 draws, 8 losses.

This is the main question for fans. If Paulo Bento arrives, the following areas can be prioritized: game discipline and positional order, accuracy in exiting pressure, effective use of standards (penalty/corner), and maintaining proper squad balance. In the work of the headquarters, the effectiveness of adaptation to the opponent, digital analysis, and "microcycle" plans plays a large role - this increases the speed of decision-making and persistence in important matches.

Strengthening healthy competition among young and experienced players in terms of composition, clarifying the decisive roles of the "ten" on the field and in the support zone, increasing speed on the wings - these are important details that will mirror the result. In short, Bentu's arrival (if formalized) could deepen the established system and serve to increase stability in big games.

The goal is clear: to systematically collect points in the World Cup group stage, play against top opponents using the "plan + discipline" formula, and improve the style that gives fans confidence. The result is on the grass: labor, adaptation, and the degree to which the reduction in the share of errors is carried out.
