They got to the semi finals of the Champions League battering Pep’s City along the way and were a point or two away from breaking the points record for Ligue 1.

Long story short if this were two years ago and people were making a list he’d be near the top with Klopp and Simeone.
And with PSG's money they could pretty much choose who they want within reason. And were it not for the CL loss to Real Madrid he would still be there.

I reiterate how lucky they were. There was very little between the two teams as I recall, Madrid took their chances but did not outplay PSG imo.
