What about his 2 European titles in 4 years?

Getting real, he's not being hired by Bayern to win the league rather the trophy they haven't won in 10+ years despite being in a "2 team league". That's where he and all top managers are judged these days. And that's why there's a very real possibility that Mancini could retain the PL and still get canned.
I think his achievements are all tied to changes made in the youth set up a decade before he started coaching by Johan Cruyff

He's certainly not a bad coach, but no one knows yet if he is a great one and he is thought of like one
