Wasn't he a banker or something until quite recently? Think I saw some post on facebook or something about that, which would probably explain it.
Looking at his track record he had mixed results everywhere he went until he got to Empoli, and since then he's done very well for himself.
Aye don’t think he was ever a player and used to coach teams while being a banker as well until he gave it up to give management all his time at a massive pay cut. Real inspiration tbf
Heard that the other day and couldn't believe it. He's not won any silverware in 22 years of management.
His career is really weird like. Would be like if Neil Warnock or someone got the Tottenham job in a few years and did class there and then got the Juve job. Absolute journeyman until his Napoli days
He's obviously a good player, there's tons of good midfielders in Spain with fuck all/no caps. Dani Parejo, Carlos Soler, Bruno Soriano, Illaramendi, Canales, etc.
First game I've been thorougly impressed by him. He was absolutely fantastic tonight and deserved to have a pen given to him. No idea how VAR didn't give it. Nonetheless, he seems to have potential but it was the first time I saw him be so direct, usually he does tricks and all but creates nothing.
Was actually really impressed hy his decision making as well as his dribbling and pace today. Will try to catch his next game as well to see if it was a one off
Nee offence but this is everything that is wrong with football fans. Didn’t score or assist = was shite without even watching the game. He was brilliant and should have had a blatant pen
