Can’t see him as a club coach though. He seems like a relatively nice person, you could say too nice in such a cutthroat environment.
In his 3 seasons as Middlesbrough manager, they finished
12th,
13th (including an 8-1 win against Man City, and
Relegated in final season, he did however win a manager of the month trophy in his final season!
A side note, his final game playing for Boro, was against Sevilla in the 2006 UEFA Cup, Jesus Navas played that day and was on the bench the other day.
