In charge since Aug 2026. Our own tally of this coach's official matches (league, cup and Europe) in the 2026/27 season only — friendlies excluded. It does not cover the whole spell.

Cup matches decided on penalties are counted here as a draw (the 90+ extra-time score), which can differ from the win/draw/loss badges shown elsewhere on the site.
