All in all, the club wants a person to continue Rijkard's/Pep's legacy, play attacking and dominating football. Whether tiki taka is still the way to go is debatable.

Achievements - Not much. Paraguay NT under him went to quarter finals of WC (losing to eventual winners Spain) and final of confeds cup. Won a few paraguayan league titles, and more recently also carried a Newell's team into the semifinals of the copa libertadores (losing to eventual winners Ronnie 10's Atletico Mineiro on penalty shootouts). Before this nobody knows him, so maybe true Messi's pulling the weights around the club?
