Your comments completely refects your dislike for Jose Mourinho. A young manager whom from obscurity, in about three years, won the EUFA cup, Champions league and every other trophy in portugal’s football is just lucky, wonderful! It’s either you deliberately choose not to be objective or you are mistaking success for failure.

Even luck won him the premiership (back to back), FA cup, Carling up (twice) and itallian scudeto? Please learn how not to deny a man of his personnal achievement. JM might be arrogant and excessively self-confident, but he is a true sucess by a every word of it.

he’s no wenger/anchelotti
the two best manager existing right now.
of course ferguson too.

mourinho can be said , is pretty lucky
and streetsmart tho no genius !

So that expalins it! Didn’t Mourinho manage Benfica (briefly) and of course you’re defending him because you see him as some kind of national treasure?

Yes! he was lucky to win the CL for the reason I already stated above. Lyon, Deportivo and Monaco then stood in the way….hardly the giants of European football. As I say it was a bizarre year in the CL.

And again, that was the only reeason he got the Chelsea job.

As for the rest…..any number of managers would have achieved what he did at Chelsea (and more) with the resources available…..ditto Inter so far.

“He does everything for his players…” Absolute rubbish! Ask Robben, ask Duff, ask Gallas, ask Schevchenko, ask Wright-Phillips….it’s a long list and many times he’s publicly criticised players.

He’s about to talk himself out of job at Inter by the way as his inability to shut-up again gets him into trouble.

All you need to know about the man is here: When he joined Benfica the club wanted him to take Jesualdo Ferreira as assistant coach (an older and well respected man in the Portugese football).

Mourinho chose his own man, fair enough. But was it really necessary to say about this respected man:

“This could be the story of a donkey who worked for 30 years but never became a horse.”

Mourinho is a nasty little man full of arrogance and higly overrated as a manager.

Is it luck to win the UEFA cup and the Champeons League the year after with an average team?
Is it luck to win the CL when it had the most difficult format (2 Group phases and knock-out)?
Is it luck to be one of the coaches with more titles in the world at JM’s age?
Is it luck to win titles in every club that he coached?

Geez, what a lucky bastard…He should play in the EuroMillions!
Your comments make no sense at all. Put your fanatism aside when you are commenting please.

If Man Utd was to replace Alex Ferguson, not only most of the fans (who hate Mourinho) would start worshiping him, but also he would do a much better job than AF.

He doesn’t know how to manage relantionships? Only a person who doesn’t follow his career could have said that. He does everything for his players, even if that means dealing with the press and handling himself with all of the pressure, just to protect his team. Consequently, being the centre of attention in every team that he leads. It’s a defense mechanism and has always worked for him.

As for Inter, He hasn’t achieved anything that Mancini didn’t. Still, I think that his team is not that good and I agree with Prajwal about the lack of creativity in the midfield. It is almost impossible, for any coach in the world, to win the Cheampeons League with Inter current’s team.
Quaresma was in the starting eleven this weekend against Fiorentina and played well, this can be a turning point for Inter!

PS: I’m a Benfica supporter.

To win the CL, you must first qualify from a group of 4, finishing in the top 2. Assuming you qualify, you must win 3 2 legged rounds and a final. Are you saying that Mourinho got lucky in all his group matches, KO stages and the final?

:rolls eyes:

JM was lucky to win the CL. A Scholes goal disallowed for offside which was shown to be clearly on, in the 1st knock-out stage that year got Porto through and they ended-up with Monaco in the final. It was a bizarre year in the CL.

So that was his luck! He never would have been considered for the Chelsea job but for that and we’d all have been spared the arrogant little git.

Porto win the title nearly every year. Just about every manager who goes there wins silverware.

The comparison with Man City re money is rubbish. City WILL buy success. Hughes has to wait to attract the big names and hope he can get a CL place, which is a key factor in doing so.

Chelsea, of course, DID buy success and any man in the street could have won what JM won in the circumstances. Failure in the CL of course.

Inter are, by default, the leaders in Italy for several seasons now. Once again JM walks into a situation where any number of managers would have guided Inter to the title…….but once again he has not produced in the CL.

“It takes real skill and saavy to win something, even with the resources behind you.”

Bullshit!

Money too does not equal success. Even with City’s megabucks, Hughes will not end in the top 4 this season. The 1st version of Galacticos also yielded a total of zero trophies after the departure of del Bosque. It takes real skill and saavy to win something, even with the resources behind you.

However, of course as always, the brilliant BD Condell knows contrary.

ROFL, Man Utd fanatics always crack me up.
