Which records has he broken?

Good news for him, and well deserved. I will always feel regret and what-ifs about his time with us, but its tough not to like the guy.

Retiring? Look at all the great managers at club level who couldn't hack it with international teams.

It takes a very good manager and coach to hold together (and make better as a team) a clutch of gifted individuals. Roberto has that. FFS he even made Moyes' yard dogs the best football side in the PL before the Everton Anarcho-Syndicalist tendency revolted against having to pass the ball accurately.

I'm watching Netherlands versus England from Euro '96. It's great to hear the names like Bergkamp, deBoer, Seedorf, Cocu and Kluivert.
