And QSF and Mazzari at Watford who steadied a championship team into a decent premier league one.
Apart from them as well.
There have been loads of pants ones as well. Don’t get me wrong. But it’s just stupid to suggest that hiring from abroad is some insane risk (provided the manager in question has decent experience) as all evidence suggests otherwise.
In this case, this is a fella who has won cups and leagues and managed a very good champions league team.
I’d rather that than someone who has rarely finished in the top half of the table and never won a cup (in 25 years of trying).
