Serie A Coach of the Year

 * ... that in 2000, Swedish football coach Sven-Göran Eriksson became the first foreign coach to win the Serie A Coach of the Year award?

5x expanded by The Rambling Man (talk). Self-nominated at 11:07, 20 September 2017 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg There is still a QPQ to be done, and I do not see how this source (as referenced in the article) supports the first foreign Serie A Coach of the Year claim of the hook. Otherwise the article has been expanded as claimed, the picture appears in the article, is suitable for DYK and under an appropriate license. The tone of the article is not promotional. There are far too many wikilinks to the same articles; I'll remove some of them myself. (my bad, comment struck) --Pgallert (talk) 19:24, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * No you will not. They most certainly are not to the same article.  QPQ is underway, but isn't one of those throwaway "yes, it passes" for credit kind of reviews.  That Eriksson is the first non-Italian is derived from the comprehensive table.  Thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:30, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Alternatively:
 * [ALT1] ... that Antonio Conte (pictured) is the only person to have won the Serie A Coach of the Year award three times in a row?
 * [ALT2] ... that Portuguese football manager José Mourinho won the Serie A Coach of the Year award twice?
 * [ALT3] ... that three managers have won the Serie A Coach of the Year award three times?

I'm not bothered which one you pick, just find one that satisifies you and go with it. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:36, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

P.S. QPQ (ongoing) can be found here. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:38, 20 September 2017 (UTC)


 * No reason to get worked up, The Rambling Man. I saw the same blue link half a dozen times and have in the mean time figured out myself that they are to different seasons. As you are apparently not happy that I have removed my remark I have struck it instead and hope that this is acceptable to you. Regarding your comprehensive table, it is a long time since I was last at DYK, and deriving a statement from a table in the article itself was OR, last time I checked. The least that would be needed is a proper reference that 1997 was the first year to award the title... I cannot find it in the reference given. This ref seems to provide that information as it happens to start at 1997, albeit without author and context, and, to my inferior judgement, from a dependent source. I find this a bit thin for front page exposure.
 * I'm fine with other hooks; particularly ALT1 as it is directly supported by this. --Pgallert (talk) 20:10, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not worked up at all. Just pick a hook you're happy with and go with it.  The Rambling Man (talk) 20:30, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

QPQ review of Johannes Martin Kränzle now complete. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:03, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * That one would be good to go, then. Do you want a picture of Conte instead of Eriksson? --Pgallert (talk) 20:32, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:35, 21 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Uhm, technically there is nothing wrong with it, suitable license and all that. I guess my personal preference doesn't play too much of a role here, so it is Symbol confirmed.svg for ALT1 (I added (pictured) to the hook). --Pgallert (talk) 20:50, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
