Cuper moved from Mallorca to Valencia to Inter to Betis without winning

Van Gaal won with a young Ajax side won the CL won 3 La Liga with Barca discovering the best midfielder in the world today Xavi.
He went to AZ won, first season with Bayern and he is on a treble. His prodigees are the best young coaches in the world

None of these teams have a strong European pedigree.

Ajax have always had a rich European tradition.
Barcelona? 2nd best club in Spain after Real Madrid. . . . .Bayern is the best club in Germany.
What is so special about winning Eredivisie with AZ?

The umbrella man just won it with FC Twente last night. Nonsense!!!
Onigbinde will win the Dutch league with FC Roda.

~Sauron~:

The foundation was laid by Hector Cuper. . . .
He took relatively average players and turned em to world beaters.
The way Valencia sodomised Barcelona in the CL tie was synonymous to the way Globetrotters used to murder their opponents.
Sure he laid the foundation but he still could not get things done.
As I said earlier he was always the Bride's Maid, never the bride.
~Sauron~:

From AC Milan to the free-spending Chelsea.
How isn't that glory-hunting? Why didn't Ancellotti go to Fulham or even Man City?
Why should he move from Milan to Chelsea? undecided
Small clubs ain't on his radar. He has already served his apprenticeship with the likes of Reggina and Parma(who btw are a bigger club that those two clubs you named).
It's like me asking Fergie or Van Gaal to coach stoke and Hertha Berlin respectively.

~Sauron~:


Jose is a glory hunter. He won't even deny it.
From Inter he will likely move to Real Madrid or Man Utd. . . . .How isn't that glory-hunting?
Why can't these managers move to a club that's yet to play in the CL like Aberdeen FC, Bolton, Osasuna or Sampdoria and make em world beaters?
I ain't denying the fact that Jose is a Gloryhunter, however I believe that he has earned that right.
Besides,those aforementioned clubs can't afford their wages.
Re: Mourinho: Genius Or Fluke by dayokanu(m): 9:34pm On May 02, 2010
The same Valencia where Cuper couldn't deliver, Benitez did
The same Inter where Cuper couldn't deliver Mancini and Jose did.

Finidi and Kanu were great players before they joined Ajax.
Xavi was a gem in La Masia. . . .Van Gaal had nothing to do with his development. It was Rijkaard that promoted Xavi.
Muller and Badstuber are useless players abeg.

Kanu had an oustanding under 17 tournament in Japan 93.
Finidi played outta his skin in Senegal 92.
If anything, Westerhof should get the credits for shopping these 2 players to Holland in 93.

Aberdeen? He won European titles and league titles with them
Since Fergie left 23 years ago, they are yet to win a title!!!

Man Utd couldn't win a title for 23 years before SAF's arrival.
As at 86, United were a small club living in the shadows of Liverpool.


Even Wengay who does not have an European Title to his name won't stoop that low so why should Ancelloti?
Exactly!!!

Wengay already said he's going back to France after Arsenal.
I am sure he will go back to managing Nancy or Strasbourg.

18 years without a TROPHY?
In that period, they got relegated and came back fighting relegation almost every season.
My friend, United were wack before SAF's arrival.

Whenever GoatCrants (no apology, cos that is the most suitable word for people who can reason like them) talk, you wonder where these persons come from.
Do big clubs go for mediocre coaches? Big clubs go for coaches that have shown that they are good, like Mourinho.
GoatCrants, can you name one coach who pursue disgrace or dishonor?
GoatCrants, did Jose start his coaching career with the big sides (Chelsea, Inter or Real Madrid)?

This boy was born a retard. . . . .

Didn't a badgeless manager(Avram Grant) manage Chelsea FC?
Strike 1. . . . . .I have exposed your stupidity.

2) Steve McClaren left the job of the England team and went on to win the Dutch league with FC Twente. Classic case of riches to rag.
Strike 2. . . . .I have proven distorted intimacy cells made you and in that regard, you were born water brained

3) Jose started with Porto - A very good side who have won countless league championships
Porto had won 18 league titles, Champions League, Intercontinental Cup and European Super cup before Mourinho grew his wisdom tooth.
In that regards, Porto ain't no minnows before Jose joined em. . . . .

GoatCrant! You only succeeded in telling us you know nothing. In all the examples you gave, you fooled yourself and rendered your argument watery. Anyway, let me just concentrate on the great Mourinho.

Jose did not start his career in Porto. The first club he headed was Benfica in 2000: a brief but successful stay.

U are a consummate retard. . . .Jose copped only 9 league games with Benfica. So that is a successful stay?
Did you sell your intelligence for a plate of porridge?
Lemme address other points. . . . .

Hahahahahaha, From frying pan to FIRE. . . . .So Benfica is a small club?
They are even bigger than Porto in Portugal.
31 league titles and 2 CL titles and you think Benfica is a small club?

@Sauron, GoatCrant#4.
I never knew Steve's move to Twente with players like Perez (one of the most technical and dangerous striker in dutch league), Eljero Elia and Marko Arnautović was to seek dishonour. And he didn't win the first season but Jose did.

They are even bigger than Porto in Portugal

So why didn't you mention it. The point is that you do not even have substantial info about the man yet you want to talk. A Goat must "Crant" anyway.

So that is a successful stay?

Yes. If he had failed, better clubs wouldn't have come for him.

If you are not a GoatCrant, how come you don't understand the fact that:
Clubs choose and pay their coaches and not the other way
You are a Goat and you must be stubborn. So

Why didn't FC Twente win the dutch league before McClaren if they have 200 technical players in their squad?
I need to buy you common sense.

Why should i mention Benfica. Did he complete a season there? Nope!
Did he win anything with Benfica? Nope.
So how is it any relevant to this debate about Jose being a GLORY HUNTER?
Are you paid to be a retard?


Yes. If he had failed, better clubs wouldn't have come for him.

Thing to note is; the greatest football managers start from scratch, build up and leave lasting legacies.

Glory-hunter is apt for JM in a funny sort of way - he gets all the glory and almost certainly leaves the club in tatters. 1 thing is absolutely certain, if you're looking for short-term success, JM is your man!
Re: Mourinho: Genius Or Fluke by A40(m): 8:27pm On May 08, 2010
He is a short term manager because most of the clubs that have hired him have demanded immediate and instant success with little or no room for errors or experiments. This is simple logic that even a caveman would understand

You are validating the fact that you are a GoatCrant with so much fact. However, you failed to understand that the world knows that clubs get coaches who they know can deliver for them based on what they know about the ability of the coach.

Jose Mourinho

José Mário dos Santos Mourinho Félix was born January 26, 1963 in Setúbal, Portugal and is a successful football manager.

Early years

Son of Portuguese goalkeeper Félix Mourinho, José Mourinho never pursued a career as a player (although he did have minor stints in smaller clubs) but showed an impressive managing ability from an early age, by preparing match reports for his father.

The Translator

Nicknamed Tradutor (translator), as he worked with Bobby Robson as a translator (technically speaking he was interpreter) in FC Porto, and followed him to FC Barcelona where he even learned Catalan. When Robson left for PSV, he stayed in the Catalan side where he worked with Dutch coach Louis Van Gaal.

Benfica and Leiria

In 2000 his chance of coaching a team finally arrived, when he was picked by Lisbon side Benfica to replace Jupp Heynckes after the fourth week of the Portuguese league. In nine matches he won five, having the same draws and losses (two). However, while he was popular, especially after a 3-0 win against Sporting, Benfica's election turned against the president João Vale e Azevedo and the newly-elected Manuel Vilarinho already had talks with another manager, who replaced him only a few weeks later. While it's uncertain if Mourinho pulled himself out of Benfica or he was really pushed out, it's considered to be one of the biggest mistakes in recent Benfica administration.

The next season (01-02) he started in mid-tablers União de Leiria, where he climbed as high as fourth (9-7-3 WDL record), when he was selected by FC Porto's president Pinto da Costa to replace Octávio Machado as a manager of a lowly-motivated side already running outside the title dispute by week 19 and in risk of not playing in European competitions. He picked the Porto side with promises of "making Porto champion next year", and clinched the third place after a good 15 game run (WDL 11-2-2).

Porto magic

After asking several players to create what he believed would be a perfect team (such as Maniche, Paulo Ferreira, Nuno Valente and Derlei), he combined the already existing talents (Baía, Ricardo Carvalho, Jorge Costa, Costinha, Deco, Dmitri Alenitchev and Postiga) to create one of the most powerful teams ever seen in Portuguese football. He won the first Superliga he fully coached with a 27-5-2 WDL record, 11 points clear of the side that ditched him two years before, Benfica. He also won the Portuguese Cup (against former club Leiria) and the UEFA Cup, managing to get one impressive treble.

This debut season proved hard to beat, but the following season, while not playing as impressively, gave Porto an easy championship win (the 20th) with an eight point advantage, and an unbeaten run that only ended five weeks before the end of the league. While the cup was lost to Benfica, two weeks later he won the Champions League after a run of only one defeat against Real Madrid in the first phase.



so before you guys conclude, if you have this record will you want to manage stoke city, pls always have your fact before you talk about a personality.
Re: Mourinho: Genius Or Fluke by FBS: 10:14pm On May 22, 2010
