He still a good manager. I just don’t think he deserves any of the “Best Manager Ever” hype that he gets .
When has he ever won anything without having clearly the best squad?
Barcelona? Nope. He pretty much was coaching the Spanish National team that won the 2008 and 2012 Euros and 2010 World Cup…but with Messi on top of that. That team was magnificent.
Bayern? Always the class of the league with or without pep as coach.
Man City? Nope, spends millions year after year to try to get that squad over the CL hump.
And really his CL record since leaving Barcelona is not great. Didn’t win it at Bayern. Hasn’t won it at City.
Think he deserved all the praise he got in his run at Barcelona, but think he’s been overrated since leaving there. Good manager but not at all worthy of the “Best Manager Ever” calls that he gets.
I just think if you give a guy like Simeone, Klopp, Conte, etc the squads that Pep has they would have just as much success as he’s had.
