Also a brief 6 month stint as assistant coach for Chile national team . He gets fucked off pretty rapid from every shit club he turns up at so why the fuck is he at MCFC turning us into Quingdad fucking Huanghai ffs ????
What the fuck have we hired ?????
Yes, he hasn’t had a successful career in this regard but he’s not know for this.
He’s a football philosopher. An ideas man, who s a MASSIVE influence on Pep’s attacking style, not as a man manager, so looking at his CV in terms of coaching success is not going to tell the right story:
https://www.skysports.com/football/stor ... ester-cityLillo has long been an advocate of an ambitious, progressive, possession game. Some credit him with coming up with the 4-2-3-1 formation. Others criticise him for being a zealot – a man whose ideas about the game have not translated into results for his many employers.
Pep was a player under him and looked to Lillo as a mentor:
Lillo once likened his relationship with Guardiola to that of a father and his son, although Guardiola himself now dismisses that notion with a smile.
“I never felt like his son. I have a father, a good one, and that is enough for me.”
But a mentor? An inspiration? That he will accept.
Asked to explain what made him turn to Lillo, he is emphatic.
“His knowledge. His intelligence. His humanity. The way that he prepares his sessions. We are quite similar in how we see football and how we understand the game. He is a friend.”
