Jol didn't fall into the job.
Levy didn't think he was a big enough name for the fans, so was brought in as assistant with the plan he would take over.
Was just a much quicker transition
It should be noted that Jol's eventual succession was Arnsen's plan, not Levy's. You're right on the fact that Jol wasn't deemed big enough (ironically), but Arnesen and Jol were tight with each other and Jol was encouraged by Arnsen to essentially work around Santini, even giving contradictory instructions to the players, which contributed to Santini's resignation and Jol's succession.Really?! never ever heard that before. Interesting, thanks for sharing.
