I agree he takes too many risks buying weird unknown players.
His successful transfers are Torres, Alonso, Kuyt, Benayoun, Luis garcia,... can't think of many.

Ranieri is in a league of his own. No one comes close to him.
But seriously, Benitez is brilliant. He got Liverpool to two consecutive CL finals, winning one of them with a shit squad. I think if he managed Chelsea (or had their transfer budgets) he'd have won the double a long time ago.
I can't think of many coaches that are better than him. (other than the Gods: Fergie ,Lippi, capello)
