Yes, but that attitude never really suited Madrid, and despite their amazing goals tallies they were often a very reactive side, fantastic on the counter and at running up scores against dross, but often very cynical against any perceived threats. Caused a lot of division with the players and officials at the club.

I just look at his attitude in the summer, the contempt he had for working with kids with the WC keeping his group apart and can not see that man as a Utd manager. LVG failed, but it was the correct type of idea, trying to build a team and style together. They should have identified a young coach with a similar work ethic and tried that idea again. Mourinho was just panic and desperate need to be relevant with a big name and possible short term success.
