Mourinho-Best Manager in the world????

The football scene in Europe for the last 2 weeks has been about the activities of one man- Jose Mourinho- The Special One. After winning the Champions League with Inter thereby completing the historic treble he is almost on the verge of joining 9 time European Champions Real Madrid. Many pundits believe he is the best manager in the world. But is he really? Many people believe so but a FC Barcelona official pointed out a fact that Mourinho always joins clubs having huge transfer kitty's like Chelsea, Inter and maybe Real Madrid. Having such spending power enables him to buy the players he wants without any hassles.

A lot of candidates for the Title of the World's Best Manager are present. Names like Sir Alex Ferguson, Roy Hodgson, Zdenek Zeman, Guus Hiddink, Arsene Wenger etc crop up most of the time. Sir Alex i believe deserves this title the most among all the candidates because of the way he has gone about business at Manchester United ever since taking over Matt Busby back in 1986. He hasn't splashed the cash a lot in the transfer market every season and instead relied on youth players to make up the ranks which has proven to be one of the main reasons behind United's domestic and European success. Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Darren Fletcher are all established international players and instead of assembling a group of talented players Sir Alex has built a team capable of winning and having a never say die attitude.

Yes, Mourinho is an exceptional coach. His ability to back his players to the hilt is one of the key features of the success he has achieved. The teams he manages have strong defensive structures and get the results and dont rely on beautiful football but what Sir Alex has done with the limited resources he had and the legacy he has created at Old Trafford is what makes him rightfully the best manager in the world.
