why do we need to limit ourselves to Monaco?
And please contrast his accomplishments at management level, with the likes of say, Rooney?
Well he did well at Frankfurt but was a complete disaster at Bayern
Turned down for manager at Salzburg so left his assistant job.
Managed Croatia and didnt get out of the group...then sacked after being tonked by Norway.
Frankfurt he won 38 and lost 33 games which points to a coin toss in terms of win/lose. However for Frankfurt he did extremely well and moulded a decent forward line.
Was hated at Bayern and dropped players who then flourished after he left -- you could argue he was worse managing the top team in a one team league than Lampard was at Chelsea.
Monaco it seemed he got his reputation back and finally showed what he could do with a young side who were far lower than they should have been. The board backed him with funds to bring in players and this season saw a really poor showing.
As an example Badiashile is a highly promising centre back...Fofana is someone who could become a good midfielder...both of whom could have been a good fit for Everton last summer -- now theyve regressed.
The football wasnt exciting and that squad has excitement written all over it.
