Pep is overrated as fuck and hasn't proven anything since he left barcelona, which was one of the best teams in football history, even my grandfather could have coached this barcelona side. Endless tikitaka with no real offensive threat , that is what pep's about
It's funny when people like to use 'it was Barca lol' as a way to belittle pep's achievements.
Are people forgetting what was going on under Rijkaard pre-pep? That team was carried by Ronaldinho and Eto'o, and as soon as Dinho's commitment to football started to wane, the team fell off dramatically. Pre-Pep Xavi and Iniesta were just good players. It's a bit different with Iniesta.. He was 21ish? but Xavi was not a stand out world class CM. He wouldn't have gone into any of the top 4-8 teams in the world. Nobody could predict Messi's growth 12 years ago, either.
Pep got that whole thing moving.
Equally, his stint at Bayern probably hurt his reputation more than it did enhance. Bayern had ripped through
everybody the year prior to him taking over. Then the following season he slowed them down, made them all play 5 yards closer together and they struggled for a season. Even after a year when he'd adapted he never came to close to another CL win.
More on topic - the sniffles had better not effect promotions this year
