6 seasons at Atleti, 6 titles, 3 Champions Leagues, 4 Spanish Cups, 5 Spanish Super Cups, 3 European Super Cups and 3 Club World Championships. Left to take up the Spain post full time (turning down a £300k p/w contract to do so), won Euro 2016 but found international management to be just as boring as I remembered so quit and took 6 months off until the Sampdoria job came up.
Team is 13th in Serie A, and the squad is a mess. Not a great deal of young talent, unhappy players all over the shop, and some absolute garbage on big wages masquerading as first team players. Plus I can't just do what I did at Atleti and punt my dross to bring in new players, I only get 50% of any money I bring in. To further add misery, Genoa are reigning champions.
Should be a massive challenge, reckon it'll take at least 2 full seasons of building before I can even think about challenging the top 4, never mind win the league. Gonna use the remainder of the season to experiment with the team and bed in my January signings, reckon I'll need a massive clear out in summer.
Looking forward to it though.
