Despite the cuntness of the cunt. It is still worth debating.
Best manager in the game. I would say Ancelotti. He shits trophies where ever he goes.
How many European Trophies has he won as a player then a manager ?
Chelsea where daft when they sacked him.. By far the best manager in recent times..
He's only saying that out of desperation because more people are starting to notice that after spending champions league levels of money he has served up championship level football.
Ancelotti, is currently the best. He has proved himself again and again. Then comes Pep, he is brilliant but has still a way to go as dominating in BL is good but not great with the team he has. I think these are elite ones. Mourinho is one tier (2°) below that. Then (3°) comes the likes of Wenger, Simeone.
Then (4°) there are few who are knocking on the door of 3° Rudi Garcia, Rodgers, Unai Emry
Mourinho started his career at Chelsea by spending £140 million on 10 players; players if anything they didn’t desperately need at an average of £14 Million per player.
Mourinho managed to do the double and in doing so setting a series of Premier League records as they did.
In his second season he spent £80 million, that’s £80 million on the reigning champions, the reigning champions who lost none of their first team players, again they won the league. Was Mourinho the 'Special One' he declared himself to be?
His third year Mourinho spent another £80 million but this year missed out on the trophy and that was it. After spending nearly £300 million on players in total the league couldn’t be won, and Mourinho packed his bags in late September to take over Inter Milan.
He realised he couldn’t win the league and was out of the Bridge like a shot once the Internazionale job came up.
In his first season he spent £50 million to try and strengthen the squad and despite winning the league fell short of the expectations that came with it, so Mourinho spent £83 million on a squad that again really needed no improvement.
Mourinho won the Champions League with Inter thus fulfilling the duty he was brought in for, much to everyone’s delight, not much mention of the £120 million though; so what next for the special one?
One of the richest clubs in the world of course. Real Madrid came knocking and thus started one of the biggest rivalries in recent generations.
The summer of 2010 Mourinho took the reins at Real Madrid, one of the richest teams in the world, a team that a year previously had spent £225 million on getting some of the best players in the world.
Yet Jose still felt necessary to spend £82 million - much the same in 2011 when Mourinho spent £43 million and just managed to pip Barcelona to the La Liga Title. Finally after two years and £125 million, again he’d done what he was brought in to do.
But again no-one seemed to care about the millions he had spent doing so. The ‘Special One ‘ had now spent nearly half a billion to achieve what he had, yet was still heralded as a great manager.
Mourinho spent one final season at Real and having only spent £29 million seemed to be destined for England once more, and that he was it for his La Liga Career.
Mourinho’s dream of managing Manchester United didn’t come off though and he ended up back at the Bridge.
And here we are, less than 48 hours after Mourinho has completed the signing of Nemanja Matic, A player sold for under £4 million bought back at £22 Million, bringing the total spending of Chelsea this window to £88.5 million and pushing Mourinho’s total spending as a manager to £562.5 million.
This article isn’t to question Mourinho’s abilities as a man manager, something he is surely very good at, but it’s to raise the question, "How come no-one has questioned him for spending so much?"
Hahaha.I hope Souness kicks the shite out of him.
Hahaha.
Sky should do that fight on PPV.
I'm still waiting on Jose to take on a project that doesn't give him a shit ton of money to work with.
Took Rodgers 2.5 seasons to get some defensive organization in place though.He did win UEFA Cup and Champions League with Porto. I actually think his tactics work better with less star-studded teams. His tactics are essentially mid-table team tactics, he just does it with more confidence than others. You can teach limited footballers defensive organization and quick counter-attacks; it's when he had to deal with superstars like Shevchenko or Casillas or Mata that he couldn't overcome the challenge.

Ancelotti has only 3 league titles in nearly two decades of management. That is a little bit of a black mark given that he has been in charge of Juventus, AC Milan, Madrid, PSG, and Chelsea.
