Has there ever been a manager so fixated on their own success? He views the management gig entirely through the prism of his own achievements. Constantly reminding the world what ‘he’ has won and where. It isn’t normal either. Ferguson was the manager of the ‘club’ that was winning. Klopp, Guardiola and Ancelotti are some of the biggest hitters in world football and they don’t remind the media what they have won every few weeks. Rafa Benitez doesn’t witter on about his past successes every time Newcastle lose a game, does he? With Mourinho, it’s like a personal war against football. It’s ‘his’ success. Chelsea won because of him. Inter won because of him. So did Madrid and then United. Even if it were true (and in some cases it is), it’s an openly strange way to discuss football in the media.
It’s also brilliant the way he uses a conversation about Ranieri and Fulham to imply that of course Solskjaer isn’t a better manager than him. Fulham can’t get a manager better than Ranieri. “Not at all”. But they can maybe get somebody in who changes the results in the short term...
Obvious dig is obvious.
