Better Than Guardiola? Maradona Backs Mourinho As The World's Best by drewsman: 6:52am On Nov 14, 2018
The Dorados manager believes Manchester
United's boss is the best in the world, even
above his cross-town rival

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is a
better manager than Manchester City counterpart
Pep Guardiola, according to Diego Maradona.
Guardiola led City to the Premier League title
last season and has his team flying again this
campaign, while Mourinho's United are
struggling, beaten in the derby on Sunday.
However, Maradona feels former Real Madrid,
Chelsea and Inter boss Mourinho is the world's
best coach, and believes Guardiola's style
works because of the buying power he's had
backing him throughout his career.

"For me yes, Mou is the best," he told Marca .
"I would give Pep the merit of taking advantage
of the launch that Johan Cruyff gave him.
"I have said on more than one occasion that
tiki-taka was not invented by Guardiola. It was
'Flaco' Cruyff.
"At the moment Pep is able to choose any
player in the world that he wants. That way tiki-
taka is easier."

Maradona, now in charge of Mexican second-
tier side Dorados , said he still had room to
improve as a coach.
Asked if he would be interested in coaching in
Spain, the 1986 World Cup winner said only a
"long-term project" would interest him, but first
he wants to go to Manchester to learn from
Mourinho.
"Myself as a coach I need to learn a lot and for
that reason I think I will go to Manchester and
Mourinho to ask him a lot of things," the
Argentina great said.
"Because he is the best without doubt."
Despite backing Mourinho as the better
manager, Maradona does admit that Guardiola's
City side are likely favourites to win the Premier
League again and praised the Spanish boss for
his understanding of the game.
"Yes they could win it," he said. "Before I spoke
about Pep and it is clear that he is a coach that
understands games better than a lot that think
they know it and then lose 3-0."
Guardiola and City hold a two-point lead over
Liverpool in the Premier League table, while
Mourinho's side sit eighth in the league table,
12 points back of first.
