Rest assured he ain't nice.
His style may be worlds apart from Conte's amped-up roid rage, but he's yet another "we set things my way or else" character.
Squad building must go his way; just like each and every first team handling minutia.
Rather than too nice, his temperamental weakness is that he may get too petty in feuds with key players and club officers.
Then his technical weakness is that he's not too much of a shrewd tactician after all.
He sets up the basics of his teams remarkably well, but he's not much nuanced or evolved after that.
At NT level he can easily spank any other coach ass, at club level he's a bit too much hit-n-miss against the top dogs to be included among the best. He's a great squad builder though.
Interesting. So ideal as an NT coach (call-ups, form a core, work shit out over a few days for the game at hand) more than a week-in, week-out, club coach then.
Still pretty sure he handled Tevez badly. Went all "my way or the highway" then went all soft. Either I read it wrong then (very possible) or he has since got more set in his ways and confident about holding his ground.
I personally like the type you describe (get basics right but not too tactically nuanced). Again, probably more appropriate for NTs, but I like leaving room for players to shine and show their genius. I know it's not the flavour of the month as a formula for success, but I find predictable game plans, development and outcomes rather tedious.
I long for the days of showing up with 7/10 outfield players being defenders, completely out of the blue, yet spanking Arsenal.
