Claudio Rainieri was nicknamed 'the tinkerman' by the London media because of the number of changes he made to his Chelsea team while he was at the helm.
Juan Carlos Osorio of the New York Red Bulls has a similar reputation, and defended his style to the New York Times' Jack Bell, based on their recent poor form. Osorio has used 7 different lineups in 7 different matches this MLS season.
“Our players have a responsibility to be in good form in training and in games,” Osorio said after his club squandered a lead and allowed two late goals to lose to D.C. United on Sunday afternoon. “We have five games in two weeks and I need to rotate them. We adjust our team to the opposition.”
