Even if Zenit haven't won the league title since 2012, it still doesn't change the fact that the Russian league is a weak league with very little competition. No, AVB didn't beat Dortmund with Zenit then. It was the caretaker coach who did that after Spalletti's sacking. AVB only took over after that game. Besides, Zenit only won that tie because of Hulk's long range effort and Dortmund were already through by then having won the first leg 4-2.

He had Bale on his side and yet still failed to get the Top 4 (they were 7 points clear of 5th in March!). People may look at the points tally and think he did a fine job at Tottenham but they have never been convincing, not even in the second season (goodness knows how many times they won a game because of Soldado's penalty). Spurs may get the wins under him but they have hardly ever played well from the first 1st minute till the last and consistently. They have only ever played well in patches.

Ok I did not know about the care taker managing the game against Dortmund but still AVB did an amazing job last season, winning all his first 6 games and he is dominating the league this season, with him on the verge advancing to next round of UCL.

I thought AVB was amazing for Tottenham, if AVB had Bale for one more season, he would've got top 4 I think.
