I honestly think the guy's more suited to international football where he doesn't have to face the players day in, day out.

He should manage a talented African side like Ghana or Ivory Coast where he'd actually have a chance of doing something more than just qualifying for World Cups.
I completely agree. Though it's debatable if much of his trophy wins have been down to huge cash injections - he does seem to come into a club and make an instant impact. Then after three seasons...players get pissed off with him and he leaves.

Good insight about Moaninho with international management. Players only working under him once every few months would be beneficial to him. I'm sure he's quite a funny, likeable, intelligent coach and tactician behind the scenes at first (I don't doubt his ability) - but you can tell he's one of those character types (we've all met them) that is great at their job, but too abrasive and better in small doses. You just end up getting sick of the rhetoric in the end.

I have no doubt that he would be capable of winning a European Championships or World Cup as manager. Like you say, international management is perfectly suited to him.

Oh, and that Bielsa song is really catchy too, been singing it since Stoke :D

I would really like to say I'll trust Radrizzani on his decision but his track record since he took over the club isn't really that good. I think I'm like everyone else I just want stability at the club whether Biesla is the man to deliver that is another question.
Here's my original post.

He's not had the best of luck regarding injuries. I admit I was excited at the prospect of Brown and Bamford but I'm still waiting. I think he's bought in to the idea of what it is to be Leeds. We have played some amazing football this season and if all fails I'll still remember that. What I'm most pleased with is the way he's turned last seasons misfits into table toppers and the blooding of the Academy kids, especially Jack Clarke. If I have a complaint it's not bringing in someone to replace Brown and Saiz.

That's exactly how I feel. The EFL is such a competitive league that I feel we need someone who knows about it & how it works. The guy is highly acclaimed by top managers but at 61 is he going to be up for the challenge ?
Here's my original post, he's shown the age wasn't a barrier. Perhaps I'd misjudged the man a tad :)

Absolutely adore him, more and more every time I hear him speak.

We are so lucky to have him.
