The Juve team of the mid-90's is always brought up and though they may be guilty, there was no doubting the quality of player they had at their disposal. They were amazingly good and beat teams using skill!
Premiership players, on the whole, do not seem less fit than most of those European clubs.
Even the all conquering Barcelona teams (2008/2011) did not prevail over manu due to fitness!

I don't see how he could already have his coaching badges. He only stopped playing this year and immediately took a management job. The program at Coverciano where they educate all Italian managers is three years long. If he's serious about it he'll go there at some point. You don't need three years of theory to get a FIFA licence on the other hand, but you still need to study. I think they give you six months or a year of leeway if you're already working as a manager, but you need to do it.
Not a bad move if, unlike Stuart Pearce, he has grey matter between his ears.
I see him being successful at it, like another player i did not rate, Diego Simeone.
