Tactically yes, that's my point, the way he has embraced modern coaching and sports science methods to maximise the ability of his players has worked in his favour but just like Stuart Pearce he has the tactical nous of a water vole.
As for who I would prefer, good question. I personally think we are far too focused on needing people with 'club experience' in this country, managing a national side is so different to a club side that it should be considered it's own niche. I would want an ex-player (or close to retirement) to come in and manage the team. Someone with immediate reputation who can command the respect of the younger players who would just want to see them out there playing and able to express themselves, not oppress the nippers with tactical overkill.
So for me a David Beckham or Gary Neville type.
If we needed someone with more experience, Glenda.
