1 PL and 1 CL puts him up there as a terrific coach but not among the very best. Having said that he did do a brilliant job at Liverpooo. In 2016 if someone asked what’s more likely - City winning 5 out of 6 PL titles and a CL or Liverpool winning a PL and CL, I’d say the former. So he’s done a fantastic job but he needed to be more consistent (should never have finished below us) and won a couple more league titles to be among the true greats. Let’s see how he does in his next job.
Rate him the same as Rafa tbh.
Rafa had a much worse squad, spent far less, finished second in the PL to the GOAT manager, won an FA Cup and won a UCL.
He also won two leagues at Valencia before he joined Liverpool.
Remember, City basically took a year off when they won the league. They were 20 points ahead at Christmas, the entire league took a vacay and they just maintained a decent standard, well down to them but it almost felt like everyone gave up and let them win the league.
For people thinking he is better than Mourinho, give your heads a wobble please. While late career Mourinho is limited and cannot run with modern tactics, he has recently won another European trophy with a small market team.
Mourinho created one of the most dominant teams in the premier league that won back to back leagues, an FA Cup and two League cups. He left, won the treble with Inter Milan, including beating the best club side ever, broke Barca dominance in Spain with Madrid, came back to the Premier League and won another league and League Cup.
Goes to a crap United team and finishes second behind the best coach with unlimited resources and wins Europa League and League Cup.
Christ the man even got Spurs to a cup final FFS.
To think a man that won three leagues, one FA Cup, four League Cups and a Europa League with English teams is worse than Klopp is really wild.
