His coaching resume is actually quite respectable when you look at the details. He managed to secure a trophy with Red Star Mexico City, and even with a smaller outfit in Turkey, he managed to guide them to a fifth-place finish. On the international stage, he’s led two different national teams. With Azerbaijan, he achieved a level of progress they’d never seen before, including a run into the Nations League playoffs. Then there was his time in Canada, where he basically laid the groundwork for their championship run. It’s a bit of a shame he never really tested himself in the big five European leagues, because the man seems to have made an impact almost everywhere he goes.
Personally, I think he’s a total coaching novice, just another one in a long line of examples. Wherever he lands, he either gets relegated or finds himself out of a job. He isn't the first, and he certainly won't be the last, player who was a complete genius on the field but just couldn't cut it from the sidelines—and now he's joined a club that's basically fighting just to stay afloat.
I really don't see him making much of an impact here, and if you ask me, if he manages to just keep the team in the top flight, that would probably be his biggest "success," following whatever happened with those Turkish and North American teams...
