That season he was supposed to reach the Champions League semis at the very least with that team but instead had a total disaster, winning just one game in the group stage with Real Madrid, Copenhagen and Galatasaray.
Then came the Europa League run with Trabzonspor, Fiorentina and Lyon, and he still managed to mess it up against Benfica. I’m still waiting to see one proper European campaign from him that goes hand in hand with a strong domestic season.
The one you mentioned was a huge flop in Europe, first in the Champions League and then that embarrassing semifinal. And after all that, he comes out with his legendary “10 euro restaurant” story and leaves because they didn’t get him Iturbe.
Same old story everywhere he goes, happened at Chelsea, Inter and now Napoli too.
