    High profile. No idea what he's like but worked at some massive clubs

    Could go either way. Hopefully it's not a good appointment!

    Impressive name. He didn't fancy the Hull job then?

    Looks a great appointment on paper.

    But managing and motivating a group of players in this league is different to coaching world class players so hopefully he’s hopeless.

    Exciting appointment for them though.

    On paper a very good appointment but then so was Paul Le Guen and look how that turned out.

    On the face of it a very impressive appointment. If he can take points off the OF then I've no issue with him being a success.

    Very exciting appointment for them.

    There must be some sort of link between ultra defensive, football killing catenaccio and playing in front of about 3000 people on a plastic pitch in Ayrshire.

    (Sorry - just wanted to piss on what appears to be a very positive appointment with a bit of unnecessary negativity).

    He will have some impressive contacts. Bit of a gamble as he has always been an assistant but fair play to Killie .

    No idea if he'll make a good manager for Killie, but I'm all for high profile managers in Scottish football.

  18. #17
    If the reports are to be believed Killie attracted a very decent calibre of applicant for the job.

    For all the people lining up to knock the league standard down it seems plenty high profile figures in football are happy to come and work here.

    He's managed smaller clubs in Italy, the biggest being Spal

    This one is that is either going to be a disaster or a stroke of genius.

    His record is incredible. The question is always can be guys like him that have worked with the very best translate that to a lower level.

    Sure is exciting times ahead for Killie, fair play to them. I think as long as they keep Alex Dyer there too things may well work out. The big elephant in the room though is again, that pitch. Hard to believe an Italian coach of such pedigree would be comfy playing on that every other week?

    Only on a part time basis. As far as I believe his main work is still there at Killie though new boss and all...

    He’s been a good assistant manager but there’s a reason he’s ended up at Killie. Will be interesting to see how he gets on as the main man.

    Exactly. He went on to prove he is the best manager ever.

    This boy at Killie might do the same but just now it looks like quite an exciting but also risky appointment.

    He could be a disaster, he could be a revelation but either way the Killie board deserve a lot of credit for doing all they can to sustain the club’s recent renaissance.

    On paper it’s an incredible appointment. Fair play to them.

    Yes. He was poached by Aberdeen so was sacked for breach of contract not because they did or were doing badly....

    This type of appointment does not have a good track record in Scotland.

    Very ambitious appointment, have to hand it to Kilmarnock board, also raises profile of Scottish football. Can't be bad.
