Ancellotti proven in CL? A win on away goals in San Siro v Inter before pens v us, then blowing a 3-0 HT lead? Not to mention being perennial 2nd place in the league. Oh yeah, he won CL last year, after totally sacrificing Serie position & resting players ahead of knock out games. His players won it last year as revenge for 2005. I can see Jose isn't to your taste, fair enough, but if you cant see the arrogance & self-promotion is done to protect his team, building a seige mentality, much the same as Alex Ferguson has done over 20 years at Manchester, or Brian Clough at Nottingham, or Lippi in last years WC, or Capello at Madrid. Riijkaards asst (Ten Cate) was far more influential, see the struggles since he left? The best winners are sore losers, because they hate losing, in most sports, where there is heavy competition, the biggest winners will always be the worst losers. Schumacher, Senna, Alonso, McEnroe, Connors, Becker, Effenburg, Maradona, Cantona, the list is endless. You see arrogant asshole, I see hallmark of greatness.
