Just pointing out Kovac is a better coach than that Hansi assistent coach you have on the sideline, so mocking him seems kinda laughable. Show some more respect to your ex-coach. He's won you trophies after all and you lot treat him like he has shat in your cornflakes.
What exactly makes him a better coach? Hansi been assistant coach for all of his career, this is his first time as manager.
And why the hell should I show him respect? Respect is something you earn, not something you just get. Yes he won the double and that was good, but we got humiliated so many times that year and don't try to deny that or hide it. So many times did we draw in the final minutes/seconds against minnows because of stupid equalisers. And not only that but the actual game was shitty and made your eyes bleed, even against teams from second and third division.
My biggest issue with Kovac was not the lost games but the lack of a clear gameplan and tactics, overall improvements there were nothing.
You're not the one to dictate or decide if we should show him respect, just like I'm not the one to tell you if you should dislike Sarri, Pep, Klopp or whoever the coach is. I hold no grudge against Kovac and wish him the best in whatever club he goes to next, but he didn't fit in here from the start.
Pep won the league in dominent fashion, Kovac never managed to be dominant in whatever he did. Pep developed players, Kovac made them worse.
And I'm no Pep fan at all.
