As far as Mourinho is concerned, I only hold his time at Porto and his time at Inter as anything worth credible, his time at Chelsea he had buckets loads of money and Utd were a very poor team in that era and Arsenal were on the way down after the Invincibles, alot of his signings were bollocks, Ranieri built the foundations for Mourinho's team, and got no credit for it whatsoever. Whatever he does at Madrid he has more or less an unlimited budget. He isn't in Lippi's, Trap's, Fergie's or Capello's level IMO.
In inter, he also had the team he wanted when he won CL.

I'd trade this Chelsea team for Mourinho's one and his home recrod in a heartbeat, when Mourinho coaches your team you just go into the match (even as a fan) almost sure that you just won't lose.


As for his time at Porto, that team didn't have deep pockets, the guy who said they were like manchester city is tripping.

Before taking the job at Porto he took freaking União de Leiria to 5th place, and I'm pretty sure that team had players much worse than Pepe. Saying he wouldn't be able to succeed in a team with Pepe is pretty pointless, in fact I think he would actually use Pepe :D. Afterall he always likes to have that kind of players, IE Geremi.


Btw, how come no one mentioned Del Bosque? He won everything there's to win between 1999-2003, and the last world cup.

Sir Alex Ferguson is a world class coach. All this BS about him having won those titles over the span of 25 years is utter BS; it only serves to cement his legacy, as he managed to stay consistent and deliver with different batches of players at the same club. It's much harder having to motivate a team to win titles after having been there for 7-8 years, as opposed to 2-3 years. The man has been with Man United for a quarter of a century, and before that he worked wonders with an unheralded Aberdeen outfit. It's arguable as to who the best really is, as different folks have different strokes, but to downplay the significance of SAF's achievements is downright laughable, ignorant, and reeking of amateurism.
Great post. Discrediting Alex Ferguson because he's been there for 25 years is stupid.

Conte: "I saw Napoli in Monaco and regard them as a team with strength and important values, among the favourites for the Scudetto"

"It will be a very demanding test against Napoli"

"We've great respect for Napoli, but we mustn't fear anyone, we'll play the game having studied them"

"I'm intrigued to see how Juventus perform in a difficult contest like tomorrow's"

"We need to continue to improve from every point of view, we must work extremely hard"

"Having four players on a yellow card doesn't worry me"

"I always see great effort from everyone, they're superb lads. Even those who haven't played show motivation and application"

"It gives me pleasure to be compared to great managers and spurs me on to work harder, having desire and battling qualities"

"Nobody wants the best for Juventus more than I do, I'll make my coaching decisions with this in mind"

"Juventus from the 90s were the Barcelona of today, we played 5 European finals in a row, one in the UEFA Cup & 4 in Champions League"

"Conte: We'll see after today's training how Quagliarella's condition is"

"We're working on Elia to fit him in the best we can, he's very young and comes from leagues where there's more space and less tactics"
