Is it stupid to assume Mourinho is the best coach ever?

[TOON ARMY]

Infesta, no one said that Mourinho isn't good, infact most of us have pointed out that he is ONE OF THE BEST. I really can't see why are you so defensive about Mourinho, there is no need for that, everyone with a brain will tell you that he is a great manager.

I honestly don't know why you wrote that, mate. I already wrote something very similar to your first sentence here, so I'd say we agree.

dont be forgetting the 1983 European Super Cup now!!

Mourinho won the UEFA cup, well considering Celtic made the final...

Then he won the Champions League which I respect him for, but he only won it because everyone else was crap. The only really decent side he beat was Man Utd on the way to the final and Man Utd got cheated in that game...

as for his time at Chelsea, he only managed to win 2 out of the 4 competitions Chelsea entered with a blank cheque book so i'm not impressed with anything he's done for the wee team.

The only difference between Ranieri and Mourinho is the fact that Jose doesn't rotate as much. He's effectively been given the ability to buy a squad to improve an already great squad.

Give him 11 randomers and then see how great the guy is. Gerrard Houllier's better than him.

 

[INFESTA]

Give him 11 randomers and then see how great the guy is.

Psst, he already got that with Benfica, Leiria and Porto.

 

[mhflierman]

If you compare Mourinho to a god you're overrating him; but that can be said about pretty much anyone. He IS over-hyped, but that doesn't mean he's not good. Tarantino, Beckham, the English NT, Marijuana, they're all overhyped but that doesn't mean they're not good.

Completely agree.

I never said Mourinho wasn't good, I'm just saying I don't believe he is as good as everybody (media) make him out to be.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Shifty: yeah, we need more time. But Kurt only wrote 3 records, so...

If Jose were to die today, his legend would live on and we would say "what if" for the rest of our lives. He has to keep winning. Just achieving a lot in 3 years doesn't mean anything, he has one title. Who is satisfied with 1 of anything? Honestly, I would say Hitzfeld was a better manager than Mourinho at this point, but he still has the chance to prove me wrong.

 

[Yossarian]

You get pissed off at my comments over Mourinho, and yet in the same rant, you manage to insult Ancelotti. That's laughable. Proves what a cocksucker you are.

Damn, you took that Juventus loss pretty hard. I'll say it again. Bitch, shut the **** up.

LOLzer......wow. One of the ballsiest, boldest? brilliant? brainless? posts I've ever seen on here, man. He's been here long enough to know better about the harsh working dynamics of the SG MODS and the SG lowly cyber bacteria than to have spouted off like that, man.

I know it's difficult to get shredded with all those ad hominem attacks like that, but he would've been better off just taking it like an Iowan farm whore like most of the folk on here to save himself the troubles of being carded.

 

[INFESTA]

Oh, one more thing, the best coach ever, from those I've actually seen, was Cappelo and his Milan of the early 90s. In fact, I think that was the best team of the past 30 years. Maybe we should do a thread about best club teams ever.

 

[Jon]

Mourinho is an excellent manager, and fantastic character but to assume hes the best manager in history. Your forgetting managers like Paisly, Crujff and Michels etc, he mayvbe considerd one of the best soon, but not yet.IMO anyway.

Cruyff a good manager?????/You have got to be kidding me man :funny:

 

[Internazionale]

He's certainly a great manager.

The only thing I hate is when he speaks English on some interviews after post-match. His accents are hardly understand.

 

[Shindig]

"You have to blerk de keeper. You hurv to beleive you cin scor"

I hate that advert. Any manager that has as many endorsements as him is not a world great.

 

[Parra Power]

what he did with porto was amazing. but really, just about any decent coach would have won EPL with that team. while he has proven that he is a great coach, to be considered "best coach ever" he'll still have to 'prove' himself some more..... if he's still considered the best coach in the world in 5/10/20 years time... then we can start claiming this

WTF have endorsements got to do with anything mate.....you obviously dont like the man,your comments do not say anything about his qualities as a manager.....by the way how's your Portuguese out of interest..... :funny:

Is it stupid to assume Mourinho is the best coach ever?

YES.









Bye.

 

[Goo Goo boy]

Many people rate him as this godlike coach, I don't, that's why I think he's overrated. One thing is for sure, he's certainly over-hyped.

What he did at Porto was impressive. He scouted the right players, had his team play well organised, compact and defensively and by manouvering Porto into the underdog position all the time he got away with his, shall we say, not so entertaining playing style. But I won't take away from Mourinho that it was a great achievement.

However, someone like Adriaanse pulled something similar off at AZ, no he didn't win silverware, but he got AZ into the UEFA Cup semi-final, AZ are 2nd in the league and are playing lovely football. Most of the credit for that goes to Adriaanse. And to those who say Porto is a "small" club, AZ is ten times smaller than Porto. It just goes to show that more people are capable of pulling of amazing things with clubs...

You clearly have nooo clue...Porto didn't play defensively, Chelsea does...Porto with Mourinho smashed Man Utd in our Stadium, Fergie's team made like two shots on goal and didn't get past their midfield for 90% of the time..

And Adriaanse? don't talk me about that sob, he's a liar, he's dumb, and he loves to blowjob McCarthy..His skills are nowhere near Mourinho's, it's outrageous to even compare both...


Edit:
Mourinho best coach ever? stupid question.
Is there a best coach of all times? No
Are these rankings stupid? Yes
Pointless thread, mainly when the subject is a manager with five years in his career.

Who would i chose to manage my team? Mourinho.
