wow.
Does he get an additional trophy for being so far ahead with his much more expensive team?
>claims to be a football fan

>fanboys Dollaruma and Andre Silva

>shits on Pep's football

When was the last time Pepe even got to the CL finals?

Must feel funny for both Allegri and Simeone to have got to it twice since he last did

He already won it more times than those 2 scrubs combined

100 pts in the EPL is really sumthing. And then there is the manner in which those pts were gotten... one can only applaud

Luis Enrique has won the treble with that Barca team and Messi. That says it all about the coaching skill required for it...

most balanced league :lol:
every team can upset ...

Thats bc the league has never countered proper football b4. Its always been ping-pong... any1 can win on a given day.

England badly needed another year of this Guardiola and another year of this City team to really learn and soak up from. And even then, its England, it was a tough ask. But as things stand now... Pep wont be winning his 3rd WC.

Congratulations Pep for winning EPL manager of the year.

Hopefully you win manager of the year. Dominating the best league in the world is no small feat. Zidane shit the bed in the league. Liverpool is not winning the CL so who cares about klopp.

Former Chelsea striker Hernan Crespo has hailed Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.

Crespo played under the Portuguese in Chelsea before the pair reunited at Internazionale.

"It was more than just about me. It was amazing, his history in Inter," Crespo told Goal.comahead of the Chelsea legends game against Inter Forever on Friday .

"I tried to help him when he moved there. It was great for us to work together again after Chelsea.

"Jose is different. Jose makes a difference and writes history because the future of his clubs will never be the same after him, because when he comes he brings a warpath as a manager. I think he became a great manager after he left Porto. I think Chelsea gave him more of a reputation which grew and grew."

The Argentinian legend thinks Mourinho is more than the usual manager and that he has changed the football clubs all-around.

"I think to be part of that moment was like being part of history. After Mourinho, football managers all changed. They changed what they said in press conferences and the way they behaved. Everything changed. In that moment we understood that managers don't just choose the starting 11.

"They must understand everything all around. It is about your relationships with your players, staff, doctors and media. He understood all of it and he was very clear with everybody. With the fans, with the media, the players and the owners. I understood that it is more than just about the first XI, he was more than that."

Dick! I may remove him from my sig

Mourinho is a brilliant tactician and great coach, especially for star players, that are hard to handle.

I'd take him over Fraudiola, who hasn't achieved anything spectacular without Messi and tons of money, every day.

I'm not saying he doesn't spend, but he has won trophies without overspending everyone too. Regarding the second point, do they have the same career length?))

Nope, I'm not even a Mou fan. But, I do respect him as a coach. You don't have to like someone to respect him.

I like the style displayed by coaches like Heynckes, Klopp, Pochettino. But, I also admire those who get results despite having huge talent and money disadvantage, like Simeone.

Wrong. 270 net spend and he has achieved good results, so it's worth it. He will win EPL in 2-3 years, which will be a big achievement, considering the shape of the team the past few years.

Well, his budget is closer to Benevento than to Pep's.

But, he's a much better coach, so I guess that evens it out.

Conte and Mourinho.

Two of the most boring coaches.
