Interesting…I think he needed to get back to coaching. A lot of his commentary was starting to get petty and sniping people a bit. I think he felt like he had more to offer (than say Charlie Davies) and was getting a bit passive-aggressive in his judgment - which seemed to me to be a bit of a 180 from the positivity I saw in him as a coach previously. Hope it works out for him…
No idea how he'll do but it's a big step down from their attempt to hire Ancelotti.
Kind of surprised they'd commit to him for that long but they were turned down by Jose and Lampard and were considering Ole Gunnar Solskjaer so I guess they didn't have many great options.
