They won the first two games of the season. Then Josef Martinez, the leading scorer, went down with a torn ACL and the league shut down. They replaced him with a guy that was playing in 2nd tier last season and for most of his career. They lost top players Nagbe, Pirez, Villalba and Gressel in the off-season and didn't really replace them. (the coronapocalypse didn't help)
It is remarkably similar to his time at Palace. He lost three straight games 1-0 and management gave him the pink slip quick. (maybe he hates his teams scoring goals) He wasn't fully to blame but it didn't help when he didn't get results as well as the more notable players criticizing him openly in the media.
This was not the best way to introduce himself to the fanbase.
