Michael Tidser has opened up about his biggest lesson after being sacked by Victor Wanyama’s Dunfermline Athletic.
Former Dunfermline Athletic head coach Michael Tidser has opened up about his biggest lessons after he was sacked from power by Victor Wanyama’s side.
Michael Tidser opened up almost a month after losing his job, revealing that he never wanted to change his tactics and that was a problem with the management at Dunfermline Athletic.
The former Scottish football star was appointed as Victor Wanyama’s Dunfermline Athletic’s head coach in January, succeeding James McPake. He signed a two-and-a-half-year deal, but in less than six months, he was shown the door.

Kasarani To Host Test Matches From June as Kipchoge Keino Stadium Receives Major Boost
The Government has hinted at using the Kasarani Stadium starting June ahead of the CHAN tournament.
At Dunfermline Athletic, Michael Tidser opened his tenure with a 3-0 win over Stenhousemuir but his stay there was short-lived as he was replaced by Neil Lennon who was announced as the new coach in March. He did not stay for long as he was dismissed after just 11 games, having lost five of those matches.
What was the main issue?
)
During his time at Dunfermline Athletic, fans had observed his style of play and most of them were not impressed by it.
In an interview with PLZ Soccer's 'The Footballer's Football Show', he explained that he is a strong believer in maintaining the same standard until it works.
He added that signing players randomly was not something he strongly believed in, noting that if it was very necessary, then he would buy into that idea.

Harambee Stars Defender Explains How Benni McCarthy Is Turning Him Into A ‘Beast’
Harambee Stars youngster Manzur Okwaro has opened up about the impact coach Benni McCarthy is having on his career despite working together for just a short time.
Michael Tidser added that he highly resonated with Tottenham Hotspurs boss Ange Postecoglou on football tampering with what he believed in.
"This is going to come across as kind of arrogant, but I didn't want to change because I genuinely believe longevity, that's the way, and, if I'm trying to sign a player, or the club are trying to bring a player in, I think you can then look at specifics and what you're needing," Tidser said.
"Whereas, if you chop and change between a three, a four, 4-4-2 or whatever, 3-5-2...I always try to stick to the 4-3-3, with tweaks in that. At times we did go two up. I remember seeing an interview with Ange Postecoglou, and it's something that always stuck with me, he said that football will always try and change you. And it did.”
Michael Tidser on maintaining his principles
)
Michael Tidser added that there were many times when he thought about changing his style of play at Dunfermline Athletic but he always believed that staying with what he knew best would always be the answer.
Tidser revealed that one of the things that did not work for him was that he was not at liberty to relocate with the players he had signed at his previous club.
He revealed that going into the new club, he found players who were already there and found it difficult working with them since he did not know their strengths.

Jonah Ayunga Sends Fresh Warning to Michael Olunga After Leading St. Mirren to European Football
Jonah Ayunga made two important goal contributions to ensure St. Mirren sailed to a 3-2 win to secure a top six finish in Scotland.
"There were loads of times I thought about it, but I tried to stick to what I knew because, over the 18 months at Kelty, I'd seen results. I'd seen how it worked, at the start of the season, when you're going to Queen of the South and winning 5-1,” he added.
"That's probably my biggest takeaway. That's probably my biggest learning curve, trying to play a system that suits the players you've got.”
He added that on top of everything else, new signings and injuries made it hard to settle on a consistent lineup or strategy. The tactician noted that he was trying different combinations to see what clicked.
Tidser revealed that at times, things did work. He highlighted some of the best performances like beating Morton even though they were down to 10 players.
"I think your Airdrie away, my first game, and Hamilton away, losing them, because they were so close to us, I think that's the one that you then feel the pressure,” he added.
"But I genuinely, firmly believe, and it's easy to say now that I'm out, but I know the squad's good enough to stay in that division, and I've no doubt Lenny will keep them up."
