I bet you're thinking Michel who? But the fact is what he did was incredible. His feat definitely deserves credit. He's unknown out of French footy. But I like to keep up with it and so that's why I know this manager.
He joined Arles-Avignon 5 years ago, who were at the time an average team in the CFA2. Now in English footy terms, they were the equivalent of Cambridge United in the Blue Square Bet Premier, i.e NON LEAGUE!!
He got them promoted 4 YEARS OUT OF 5!! That's right, and now they find themselves in the Ligue 1, the top division in France. I don't really know how he did it, and I doubt it's ever happened before. It's insane! It's what you want to happen when you're playing Football Manager!
He has recently been sacked as Arles Avignon are not doing that well in the Ligue 1 but what the hell do you expect? If I were a top club looking for a new manager, this guy would probably be my first choice. So Liverpool, if you do decide to get rid of Roy, there are perfectly good unemployed managers out there...
