Highs:
His years at Parma brought on a lot of trophies, and all international honours at that. All the above listed, as well as a Cup Winner's Cup runner-up medal in 94. This time also coincided with good performances in the Copa America tournaments.
Lows:
His stint at Newcastle was high profile but riddled with problems.
The World Cup tournaments of 94 and 98 ended in disappointment after very promising qualification rounds. Not even the help of Carlos Valderrama and Freddy Rincón managed to spur Colombia past the first round.
