Yeah, deffo the Ukrainian Celtic like.
He has absolutely not won them their first title in 3/4 years. Nor a treble. Nor progressed in the Chamoions League. All whilst playing outside of their own city.
Have a google man.
Fonseca's done well and impressed in the Champs league under unstable circumstances but it's a 2 team league that's seen Shaktar outperform Dynamo recently mainly due to substantial backing from their billionaire owner.
Here's their record under that owner;
Premier League Champions in 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2017;
Domestic Cup champions in 1997, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016 and 2017; Super-Cup in 2005, 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2017; and
UEFA Cup in 2009.

Shaktar had won the league 5 years in a row and then were runners up twice before Fonseca so I think it perfectly reasonable to say his domestic success is about equivalent to success with a financially advantaged Celtic or Rangers before Rangers fall.
