Man I love Cuper. His Inter team certainly wasn't the best and most entertaining Inter team, but we were a very tough nut to crack during his time. We scored tons of goals under his care too, despite not playing the prettiest kind of football. In other words, we were clinical, effective, disciplined, competitive, and would punish the fuck out of any opposition who didn't see it coming (just ask Wenger's Invincible Arsenal team). I still feel that sacking him that early in the 2003/2004 season was ridiculous. We imploded in the CL that season due to Zaccheroni's lousy tactical incompetency (Cuper wouldn't have allowed that 1-5 humiliation against Arsenal). The only reason why we managed to finish fourth that season was the arrival of Adriano and Stankovic in January.
He was formidable during his time here. Had done everything right, the only thing missing was luck. Yeah, it has always been the issue of luck with him. If only he had luck, he could have been hailed as a glorious coach.
