None of that cancels the fact he left a hot steaming pile of nuclear waste when he called it quits.
Our squad was a lot better then, than it is right now. And less expensive even. You would think that if his successor started with a steaming pile of nuclear waste, it would be pretty much impossible to weaken the squad even further. An improvement, however small, would be a given. Sadly, reality was/is different.
He didn't call it quits himself, he was let go.
And if that isn't enough: He made Inter a competitive team. Inter, ffs. Those perennial losers actually won the league.
Not to mention all of the useless Italian players he bought just cuz Italy
Meh. All those useless Italian players won us titles & got us into CL finals.
Unlike our current useless international players.
