He’s a very good coach. He didn’t get England over the hump and into a major tournament final, but he consistently ensured that they qualified and they typically played quality football under him. The last World Cup obviously didn’t go too well, as I think he had boxed himself into a corner strategically and was unable to make the changes that needed to be made to suss out the midfield/attacking nature of the squad (specifically the roles of Gerrard and Lampard). However, in general his time with England was successful, as he got the team back on the right track after some pretty bleak years prior to his arrival.

I think he’ll do well with Mexico. They are my early dark horse for South Africa.
