We don’t know exactly what went on and likely never will. NDA’s and so on. Something is a little off about it. I don’t think he wasn’t up to it given his experience, maybe he didn’t care to be up for it and when an opportunity arose he took it. If you look at some of the performances at the start of the season you could say he was doing alright.
We don’t know what his true relationship was like with people like Moshiri , Brands, Denise, Bill and so on. Was there pressure to succeed internally? Win one of the cups and finish in a Euro spot etc? Did they ever question him over the awful home results and performances?
I’m not defending Carlo here by any means.
