Maradona: Jose Better Than Guardiola by Nobody: 8:24am On May 11, 2015
Diego Maradona says Jose Mourinho is the “greatest” and Pep Guardiola is not yet at the level of the Chelsea manager.



In an exclusive interview with Revista de La Liga’s Guillem Balague, which is now available On Demand to Sky Sports subscribers, the Argentina football legend explained his fondness for Mourinho, who has steered Chelsea to the Premier League title this season.

Guardiola has won two league titles with Bayern Munich in Germany, having won three Spanish titles and two Champions Leagues with Barcelona, but Maradona insists Mourinho’s record is better.

Learn what Maradona said about Jose Mourinho on next page.

“Mourinho is a friend of mine,” Maradona said.

“For me, Mourinho is the greatest without a shadow of a doubt because he knows what you’re going to say before you say it.

“It’s extremely dangerous! That’s what makes him Mourinho. That’s what makes him the greatest.

“Pep or Mourinho? I say Mourinho. I think Pep needs a little more time, as Mourinho has had, to be Mourinho.”

I thought Mourinho was the greatest too until he started parking the bus and to win matches by all means. But wait o, what of SIR ALEX FERGUSON?

I think Chelsea played very entertaining football In the first half of the season, but had to adjust to more defensive style due to lack of attacking prowess whenever costa had issues. Drogba and Remy where not particularly at their best.

Chelsea has the most players in the team of the season line up. In my opinion it was a balanced team.

Mou is surely a great coach!

Maradona isn't qualified to judge how good a manger is or who the best is. He failed during his short stint as a manager

If trophies make the greatest, how can Mourinho be greater than Guardiola?

The only short coming of Pep that I know is his Rigidity$inability to adapt his team strength to a particular game(I may be wrong though)long time bro.

PSG outplayed Mourinho with a man down and a goal down. Mourinho could not adapt his team to stop PSG. Yet, many thinks Mourinho is flexible.

It is difficult to keep a team playing at the top constantly. If not that Pep performs well consistently, he will get more praise. He is about to won the Bundesliga back to back, in the Semi Finals of the Champions league.

That would have been remarkable for Mourinho.

Both managers are good but they re not flexible . I think u have to measure their success with the number of trophies and d quality of player they have used in acquiring the success also what is their achievement in d in d aspect of nurturing talents .

No he doesn't. Being a great player doesn't necessarily mean he will be a great manager. Mourinho never played the game professionally remember?

if the BEST footballer of his time is not qualified for football matter,then who does?
You? grin
I don't think so!
Re: Maradona: Jose Better Than Guardiola by kokoA(m): 3:31pm On May 12, 2015
IMO, Pep is better.. Mourinho has spent almost double the years Pep has been a manager yet Pep has more trophies, better head to head record, better talent management and more entertaining style of play.

He can give his thoughts in football matters but definitely not management. He failed woefully in that area

MOU was flexible during his spell at Madrid. I still believe EPL coach must be able to apply both attacking and defensive style to win big. Just know when to use it. If you stick to entertaining footie like Arsenal, then 10 years waiting may just be your lot

pep started his professional coaching career with an established club in Barca. MOU won the champion league with a relatively low budget side as Porto. That should count for something.

I can bet Pep won't survive EPL. I pray he comes to Man City as rumored

they are both top class managers but MOU readiness to take on any challenge slightly put him ahead
