Is Mourinho the best manager out there?

He is in my opinion. Wouldn't mind him succeeding Wenger; as much as I disliked him whilst he was at the chavs his coaching ability and winning mentality are undeniable.

Jose is a winner alright. A Portugese Brian Clough.

Sadly he will bide his time in Italy until Ferg goes then he's a shoe -in for the Manc job. Only possible hitch is if their debt bubble blows up in their faces in the meantime. He'd be smart enough to dodge that bullet. But otherwise he's OT bound.

I don't think he is actually. I think he'll do either the Barca or Madrid job next and then have a dabble as a national coach.

Mind you, with the speed they get rid of people that could still see him at Manure by 2011.

I have a feeling that Fergusmoan will call it a day this year if he wins either the PL or the CL. I don't know why but I just have a hunch.

Who's better than Mourinho? He's won a trophy every season since 2002-2003, what other manager has achieved that? PL, CL, UEFA Cup, FA Cup, League Cup, Portuguese League and Cup, Italian League, Supercoppa Italia, Community Shield, etc, he's won the fucking lot and he's still only 47 which is very young for a manager. Extremely impressive if you ask me.

The only other one who's come close is Fungus, and Hiddink but he's an international team manager.

When I said the bit in bold, I was talking about him going to Manure, not about him being the best or not.

Ok, sorry mate.

No worries, but since you ask, I'd go for Vik Akers, he's won everything possible and managed six tropies in a single season

And he's an OBE

I think he wants to return to England but I'm not sure whether he will move this summer to Liverpool or City, or he waits bit longer for the United job. He is a class manager no question, his tactics aren't always the most exciting but they get the job done, which is the main thing!

Vicente del Bosque is another fantastic coach.

Absolutely - I rate him as one of the best managers in football and he goes about his business in a calm respectable and humble way unlike that flash arrogant portugese wanker

Anyway if winning trophies makes you the best then maybe walter smith should be considered - I mean I hate the *word censored* and all that but he has some record of winning trophies

Judging managers by trophies is not necessarily a balanced and fair system of doing it - could other managers have been as successful at the chavs and inter given the same financial budget and lack of genuine competition (in italy) ?

Personally I would rather have del bosque, rijkard, hiddink and van gaal (to name just a few) ahead of moaninho

If he has money then yes. He may have won the champions league with Porto but we all know the CL that year was like Greece winning the Euros Freak result.

What about Laurent Blanc? He's highly rated in France, next season he'll be french selection's manager or coach in a big club (Juve, Inter if Mourinho leaves, etc ...). He's young, but he's won trophies in France as Bordeaux manager, he plays attractive football. I'm not saying he's the best coach in the world but he's one for the futur lol
I dont know what you think guys about him??
