I was sort of quizzical of it all when Sol came down the road but that turned out very well.
Poch had one of the best squads in Europe on paper, and some of them have regressed in the last two years
Yes but he built that squad from scratch on a shoestring budget and as much as we love to clown them for not getting any silverware during this era he made them very competitive and he got them to a CL final. Last two years the situation got a bit stale, kind of like with Klopp's Dortmund where it was clear it was time for him to move on. I have no doubt he will deliver at his next club and if he goes to a giant club like a Real i definitely see him lifting a CL.
