He then moved to F.c.Porto where they won the league. He then moved to Holland where he won the the Dutch league with P.S.V Eindhoven. He then went to sunny Spain with Barcelona, where he won the Spanish cup and also the Copa Del Rey that year..
He then returned to his beloved Newcastle United and took a club from the bottom in the E.P.L to the champion league.
His best years were 1986 when he was the manager of England , in the 1986 world cup and took it to semi finals.
In 1990 was his best year for England , in the world cup in Italy. With players like Alan Shearer, David Platt, Peter Shilton , Paul Gascoigne and Cris Waddle, they reched the semi finals, to be beaten by West Germany.
