re: Top 10 coaches in soccer

I'll answer this as fairly as possible. He has much less experience than the top 10 guys.

His first job was a success in everyone's eyes. His second job was not successful and lasted about 9 months. After he was fired, the guys who took up after him all did much better.

Since he is already very wealthy and doesn't need to apply for coaching jobs, he only showed interest in a handful of desirable jobs (all of which would pay quite well).

Therefore the US job was one of the only jobs he could feasibly land with his current resume, besides maybe Tottenham, since he isn't interested in 98 percent of the jobs on the market:

Even big name guys like Frank Rijkard, Cesare Prandelli, and Mancini were more flexible with their first post-firing job searches.
