How exactly do you stop being a good manager? sure you can stop being a good player as you get older or stop being a good team when your best players leave, but manager? He had a bad season at Liverpool yes, but that does not make him a bad manager. His failure at Inter wasn't just on him like i have said before, they fired him in December 2010 and have had 4 different managers since then, so surely it all couldn't have been his fault.
