As the curtain is about to be drawn on Mourinho's reign at Real Madrid, if media reports are to be believed, one cannot but go down memory lane to re-live d era this two astute tacticians held the world of football spellbound on and off the pitch in Spain.
It witnessed, arguably, the greatest rivalry in modern football era. One cannot but wonder how the players and supporters of both clubs were able to eschew violence, in the face of extreme provocation on certain occasions, despite the political divide between the Catalans and Madristas.
Pep and Jose are of different nationality, no doubt, but both passed through the Barca garrison, though, playing different roles.
Pep's departure from Barcelona generated mixed feelings. For Barca fans, it was akin to an eclipse of the sun while for ardent Madrid faithfuls Pep ran away from a potental fall from grace from Jose challenge.
With Jose imminent exit from Madrid about a year after Pep, opinions are welcomed on 1. the impact of these two men on Spanish football, 2.personality, 3.achievements, 4. failings, 5. legacies, and 6. any other area deemed relevant.

Since the topic is about two individuals Guardiola and jose's (Achievements) (3);

then, im allowed to extend my findings to include the these individuals as a player

FIRST;
Pep Guardiola is a complete epitome of football a tactician than jose Mourinho, how?
in 4 different leagues outside of spain as a player, guardiola won 16 cups including a champions league and a captain. so he was also succesfull playing for other leagus other than spain.

JOSE was a complete failure as a player, no cups to show, and never nominated as a captain.

SECONDLY

As a coach, Guardiola won 14 cups in 3 seasons, including 2 champions lg while mourinho won 20 cups within 10 yrs,

guardiola as a player and coach= 30 cups, mourinho as a player and coach 20 cups,

Guardiola is seen as a gentle but efficient philosopher, morinho is seen as arrogant.

guardiola is the only coach to have beaten mourinhos team more. recording a 5-0 defeat which mou never returned

Pep is quite good but Mourinho is tested and trusted in 4 countries already. Two times UCL winner in with two different clubs. 6 UCL semi finals(same with only Fergie). Common Mourinho all the way!
