Why Pep Guardiola is the GOAT Manager 

Yeah. People say "he's only managed top clubs". Okay yeah, but he's absolutely DOMINATED in a way we've never seen other managers do so consistently. He stays at top clubs because he's the best.

@@90_plus_1 the best coach attracts the best clubs. Well said 👏

To add, what's even colder.... Since Pep arrived at City in 2016, if you add all the trophies Man Utd(4), Arsenal(4), and Chelsea(6) has won together since 2016 is equals to 14 trophies in total. Pep alone at Man City since 2016 has won 14 trophies. Meaning since Pep joined City in 2016, Pep has won as much trophies alone as Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea put together.... Now that's so cold!!!

Klopp not only stopped pep and cities millions with a budget spending team like Liverpool he also stopped munich and all there millions too. For me and many others thats more impressive. Pep is amazing but all managrs win the league at the clubs he managed and at Barcelona and munich many also win champions leagues

FACTS

@@90_plus_1 Vicente del Bosque: 2 x Liga española (Real Madrid). 1 x Supercopa de España (Real Madrid). 2 x UEFA Champions league (Real Madrid). 1 x UEFA Supercup (Real Madrid). 1 x Intercontinental Cup (Real Madrid). 1 x World Cup (Spain). 1 x EURO Cup (Spain). Simply he won everything.

Thank you! Really appreciate it.

Love this comment, as I say in the video even if you don't agree right now - in 5-10 years it'll probably be indisputable. Of course, people will still dispute it, such is life. I wish Fergie was my GOAT. As an Arsenal fan it always made it easier to deal with defeat to say "well Fergie was the GOAT manager with a better team. No shame in losing." Of course, there's still no shame in losing. And just how great Fergie was makes the trophies we did win in that period mean more than they would have done if Fergie wasn't so great. So I appreciate him. I just think after this treble, pep has finally surpassed Fergie. Really appreciate the comment though mate! (I've got a series about Fergie's career coming soon also. Hope you enjoy that).

FACTS

Great points

Germany didn't change their style of football though. And Spain was a heavy possession league pre-Pep also... Tiki taka existed before Pep.

Great point

Thanks mate!

You think? I figured he might do international football, Serie A or maybe PSG... I'd love to see him take on international football.

@@90_plus_1 Same here. He deserves to win the World Cup.

Well said.

Agreed, people putting Jose's Inter in that bracket is disingenuous for reasons stated in the video.

When has Aberdeen become the fifa standard for greatness

Klopp at Dortmund and Liverpool is remarkable. Dortmound have only ever one 4 league totles in there history and 2 of them are his And then he took liverpool from midtable and Europea league and went head to head with pep and cities millions for 4 years and won absolutely everything and 3 champions league finals in 5 years But also the same points tally and peps city in 4 years combined City beat them twice by 1 point And Klopp inherited a shit team and spend less on non proven players

That inter team was stacked with legends at the end of their prime also at the time the media was saying Jose was at the end of his prime and they beat not the best team in the world at the time it’s probably the best team of the all time idk how that is disingenuous lol.. if you like pep that fine he a really great manager but what I think is really disingenuous is the 2 treble people taking about Jose won two of those before we had Instagram.. Fergie did it in two different era and pep when he won those he had better team that both Fergie and Jose when they won theirs

@@killamilla1032 Jose has one proper treble and one Europa treble... His job at Inter is less impressive than Pep at Barca as stated in the video. It's not in the same ballpark as Fergie at Aberdeen or Jose at Porto. It's just a totally different scenario and it's disingenuous to say otherwise

Appreciate it mate!

Dark Hardy 😭😭

Pep's done that more impressively at City imo. Doing it for 20+ years is obviously impressive but then so is doing it in different leagues.

@@90_plus_1 nah yeah which makes them the best in their own right I suppose, you’re very convincing tho😮‍💨

Thanks! Hopefully I'll have some time soon to make another.

Thanks mate! 💙

That's not why it failed. Pep wanted David Villa, but the club wanted Ibra. It failed because Zlatan was immature at the time. Pep now that he's experienced still rejects personalities like that from his dressing room and doesn't accept disrespect. Fergie was the same with Beckham and others. It's got nothing to do with inexperience. Pep made the right decision to get rid - that's why when he got the player he wanted they became the best team ever.

@@90_plus_1 You are the expert.. but i think ALL fault of that fallout was pinned on Zlatan which i doubt was the case..but i will take your word for it..Pep is a saint

@@takudzwakaseke98 It's not that he's a saint it's that his zero tolerance approach works and it's been taken by many other great managers. Cruyff was similar, Fergie, etc. Pep, like Cruyff, can be a bit of an asshole. But ultimately the player should know his place. Ibra did cost himself with attitude issues. But Pep wasn't blameless in their falling out. I just also don't see it as a flaw. Being a manager is about managing the dressing room and if there's a toxicity in there you have to either calm that or cut it out. Pep didn't have time to tame Ibra, and really taming him was probably impossible.

We can only pray 😅

He has more than three trebles if we're counting any trophy. But THE treble is the league, a cup and the UCL

Hilarious argument that is. Loads of managers have done that. The same can't be said about Pep's achievements. Managing at the top level is the hardest and most competitive. Plenty of greats have had money and failed.

Still on this watered down argument! Usually emanates from folks with blurry way of looking at football.

Would you leave job at apple or microsoft and get a job at McDonald's just to prove a random guy's wrong?? 😂😂😂😂 Pep is sooo good that he can chose. He himself got this right by succeeding at barca and Bayern. Cz of his philosophy spain, Germany won the WC. England is also trying to copy him but that manager southgate has Jose Mourinho's bus parking habits cz he is a coward

He needs to win the Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.

@@90_plus_1 who does he play at the community shield?

@@mido0o0o0o0o the mighty Arsenal, so unfortunately for him he's gonna fail. #COYG

@@90_plus_1 haha i highly doubt that, let’s see.

The best managers go to the best teams... Barca were kind of struggling when he joined. The team was on the decline and he made a string of decisions to turn it around... I will add that Jose has never gone to a team like that and had great success. He kept Spurs and Roma around the same level and despite winning a cup with Roma, he's been poor in the league... Alex Ferguson did do great to turn Man Utd around and did elevate Aberdeen... But then when Man Utd were a big club he wasn't as good as Pep at big clubs. So at best you can say they're 1-1, in which case I'll take the guy with a better win percentage, trophy haul and better achievements. Not to mention how he evolved the sport, etc. Pep is the greatest.

Your talking trash Arthur just stop Just another one of pep haters

Pep has Haaland who in 1 season has broken a dozen of records. Pep is just a genius. Tactical genius

Bro typed a essay( the RU-vidr)

The greatest managers manage the best clubs... Man City weren't the club they are today when he took over. He made them a top class club... Barca were on the downturn until he turned up... If you watch this video and say he's not even in the debate? You might be pretty silly 😅

Phil Jackson did a lot more than simply manage the best players. And managing the big egos is much harder than managing any others - ask Phil Jackson. The best coach the best, and the best tend to win to prove they're the best. There's a reason Phil is largely considered the GOAT, and there's a reason Pep is considered the GOAT by many also.

No, he’s not. He can only win with the best player in the league that’s an opportunist.

@@abenpierre9050 The same tired argument again and again 😅 consensus goes against for a reason imo. People recognise brilliance and that the best coach creates the best team. That's the best way to be as a coach. The best teams wouldn't be the best teams without the best managers. This is why we consistently see great teams fail without the right guidance. It's the opinions of the simple minded who disregard this, imo.

Klopp at Dortmund didn't have a super team to compete with. It was overrated but not the achievement you paint it as. Bayern were not the same team at that time. Managers succeed after Pep because he leaves teams in a better place. Unlike Mourinho, for example. Maintaining success is also much harder than you're giving it credit for. Rijkaard did win the UCL in 2006, but by 2008 he'd made them a bit of a mess. It's disingenuous to say Pep inherited that 2006 team, as he didn't. Hence he had to make huge changes. Klopp at Liverpool is amazing. But ultimately I don't think money is relevant because it wasn't Klopp signing the players. Klopp didn't want Salah, for example. You can only judge managers on the tools they have imo. Liverpool had a simolar level squad to City and he fell short. I'd say Pep had the slightly better squad on paper. But I think that's two great managers going head to head. It's great from Klopp. But he doesn't have the rest of the CV to chat to the absolute greatest. I don't think Pep needs to do that, because Klopp can't claim to have done what Pep has. Neither can Sir Alex. Neither can Mourinho. Why is it only Pep who has to prove himself on what he's not done? Why isn't this rule applied to other managers? Does he literally have to do everything in the game to be the best? Why don't we make the same arguments against Messi from a player perspective? Why doesn't he go to Stoke and PROVE he's the best? It's stupid imo 🤷‍♂️

Jose has spent more than Pep. Fergie spent a similar amount when adjusted for inflation. Klopp hasn't spent as much but he's also achieved nowhere near enough to even be in the conversation. Saying Pep was "spoonfed" is straight up stupid, I'm sorry but that is crazy talk that completely disregards the context of the situations. I also disprove the theories he was given everything at Barcelona - he definitely was not. Pep's time at Bayern and Man City was no easier than most of Fergie's time at United or than Mourinho's time at Inter, Real Madrid, Chelsea, etc. The hardest thing to do in management is manage big clubs. Pep does it better than anyone. If you think he couldn't have done what Fergie did at Aberdeen or Jose at Porto then you're wrong and you seriously need to learn your history to realise the CONTEXT of those achievements. Great achievements, but they're not unique ones.

😂😂😂 watch the video and if you're a logical person you'll change your mind

Fatherless mf spotted

Pep fks your mother

No you couldn't. Lazy and ignorant argument. If it was that easy then why have countless managers fallen shorter when they've had the best team in the world or their country? Just very ignorant.

The real issue is, how do we get him to coach a mid-table team? Ferguson and Mourinho all started with small club because the big ones weren't available for them at the time. On the other hand, all the big teams have always wanted Pep.

Tell that to mbappe to come to Everton and prove himself 😏😏

With that logic Messi and Ronaldo can’t be the goats because they haven’t done anything with a team like luton town

Recruitment is half the battle as the personalities have to mesh. Managing who to get rid and who to replace them is a key skill. Forget the value, Chelsea are showing that money must be spent wisely and recourses at the club have to be utlised correctly. Even if Pep isn't your flavour of manager, he gets the best out of his squad more often than not, and he does this by getting the players to buy into the system or gets rid of them when they dont or cant reach the standards. This is something he has in common with SAF and what Mourinho can only do for short periods. Mourinho intensity elevates and burns out his squad. It is honestly impresive that SAF and Guardiola do not burn out the players rejuvinating them each season.
