Here in Portugal, I thought the same when he was manager in Uniao Leiria.
When he came into that team, he got most of the players from the previous years.
He did a great season in that team and then went to Porto and took with him some players.
While he was in Porto, he didn't make big signings.
However, he did get results, not only at home but in Europe also.
So now, I give him credit, even though i don't like him as a football person.
But I'm already used to it. it's 3 years of experience
Today he gave an interview to a portuguese channel. He said that he only cares of what the fans of his team think. Not the others...
