Diego Maradona thinks Jose Mourinho is better than Pep Guardiola
The talismanic Diego Maradona said on a recent interview that he believes that Jose Mourinho is a better coach than Pep Guardiola.
Always the magnet for controversy, the highly scrutinized Argentine legend, Diego Maradona spoke to Sky Sports recently and dropped this bomb:
"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."
Of course he went on to clarify that Mourinho is his "friend" so it is possible he has a bit of bias on the subject.
As Bleacher Report points out, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho has eight domestic titles to his name and two Champions League trophies over four clubs. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola is eight years younger than him and has accumulated five domestic titles and two Champions League trophies with his two clubs.
When pressed about a subject he might know more about, Maradona could not comment on who the best player in the world is right now, saying both Messi and Ronaldo are "at the same level."
