He fluked a Champion's League with someone elses team but hasn't done a great deal else of note. Did OK in the Championship with the Baggies I suppose but I'm struggling to work up much enthusiasm, but that goes for football in general.I'm not sure that you can fluke a European Cup win. Especially if you have to beat Napoli, Benfica, Barcelona and Bayern en route.They did it by packing all 11 behind the ball and hoping for the best. There was no great tactical masterplan beyond that.Or he worked out that his team wasn't going to be able to win by going all out attack, which his previous teams had done, and adjusted his tactics accordingly.Did Tony Barton fluke our European Cup win?I guess Simeone got lucky in this year's CL quarter final against Barcelona and semi final against Bayern too.

I think it is fair to say that Chelsea did seem to have a lot of good fortune in the final stages of that CL run.
