He doesn't have zero experience tho. He managed Racing and Deportivo Mandiyu. Unfortunately, his results were terrible:
P 23 W 3 D 12 L 8
It was assumed he simply didn't know what he was doing - but even an incompetent manager can't affect his player's performances that much.
On the other hand, a manager the players idolize to the point of worship might have a problem with his players being overly nervous, or feeling inadequate in his eyes, or being eager to impress and trying to win every game on their own, none of which lend themselves to good performances.
With la seleccion tho he has much better players than he had at Racing and Mandiyu, players with celebrity and stature of their own, so presumably this won't be as much a problem. But he IS a God to them still, and there will definitely still be players who have difficulty because of it.
