We weren't winning the league for 3 years and not making the SF of the CL in 8 before he came to RM. His first 2 years were very good, but that's the maximum he could have done in such a short amount of time.
wow rits, didn't think you had it in you!
agree with what youre saying, if he went toe to toe with Barca - well he did - and got smashed 5-0. Changed it up, beat them in a cup final then won the league the following year.
Had he went to play attacking football against them in the semi against Barca with Inter he wouldn't have won the CL with them.
His football and philosophy if you will is pretty boring but it's very effect and get results.
He then falls out with everyone and moves on
