Nothing like a bit of positivityI'm amazed this guy is so highly-rated. Took a side who finished 11th the previous season to ... 11th, 8th and 8th. Got a side relegated. Lost 7 consecutive matches without scoring a goal. Yes, he won the equivalent of the League 1 cup, and won the equivalent of the Charity Shield with his second-placed team beating the first-placed team. He's hardly pulled up any trees.

Maybe because he achieved the things he did against the odds making teams better then the sum of their parts. League positions does not tell you everything about a manager.
Take Pottor for example, if he had the first two season with Manchester United instead of us and they finished in the positions we did, do you think he would be so highly rated?

It got better for Potter when he dropped Maupay and realised how good Caceido was. Before that we were headed for another similar season to his last couple. Interestingly he went back to an old Potter formation against Fulham and got well beaten.If he hadn't had a good last half of last season, there was a growing number of fans who wanted GP gone in the run up to Xmas. He had, position wise, two very ordinary seasons prior to that when the final position wasn't much better than CH managed. Stats like that don't tell you the quality of the football though.
Gonna be interesting reading NSC if De Zerbi takes more than about 5 games to start producing later Potteresque results too, especially if we start shipping goals which it seems his team do.

Thank you for providing a counter argument, it’s always interesting to get an alternative view.I'm amazed this guy is so highly-rated.

5'11 seems reasonable. 5'9 is certainly verging on short in my book.

If he really is the little genius, and is so highly rated, then how come most of us had never heard of him until he rocked up at the Albion?

Still who cares, just as long as he keeps winning games of football.
5' 10" is the average height, so l'm told.
