Still laughing at the memory of people calling him a genius because he beat Juve once.
sure, and don't forget he came here in MM lasts year. He had no more motivation to invest, and don't forget the Sneijder storyNever called him genius, but he IS very talented manager. But very inexperienced, Inter was too big for him. Should have never accepted that job, but instead needed to go in lesser team.
The media ate him alive, fans ate him alive, injuries fucked him up badly, some of the players too... He has made some mistakes, but he was not as bad as some claimed he was. I would like to see Mazzarri play with Rocchi as his CF, without 5-6 of his starters and best players.
Udinese is used to 3 men defense, has been doing that for ages.
I remember Guidolin using 4 man defence for some games
Or maybe there was more going on behind the scenes then we'll ever know. Could have been that Moratti had already picked out Thohir as the new owner and was speaking with him about what coach he wanted. Perhaps Mazzarri is actually Thohir's man.
Pure speculation.
Moratti wasn't the one who brought Mazzarri here, but Thohir, even before he was boss here. Maybe.
Who knows.
It doesn't matter tho, I think Thohir wants a more experienced coach in any case.
