“It was an emotional day, but also one of relief because my duty, even though not my future, was to finish with this team in qualifying for the next Champions League,” he said. Fair enough. For me, I'll remember him as bit limited tactically and loyal to a fault to his senior players ... but he seems a decent man who obviously holds our club in great affection. Had he missed out on Champions League, his tenure would undoubtedly have been tarnished but as it is, he probably leaves with more of us will wishing him well rather than wishing him ill.
