    It was definitely one of his biggest achievement as a Liverpool manager even he won the UCL in his very first season defeating the strong Chelsea in semi final and then AC Milan in final which is an impossible achievement.

      @@mmw4990 Yes, and that's impressive but it was this which really made people sit up and take notice. He didn't do much else at Liverpool - well, in the league anyway - and since leaving them he's failed at a treble winning Inter and at Real Madrid and only really succeeded at Chelsea (and even then only as an interim) and at Newcastle - and even that last one is debatable given his average league position wasn't much better than Bruce's.
