Lothar Matthaus has hailed
Mourinho as the best coach in the world, insisting he is ahead of Bayern Munich
coach Pep Guardiola.
The Portuguese manager has won league titles with
Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid, while Guardiola oversaw the most
successful spell in Barcelona’s history and has won two Bundesliga titles with
Bayern so far, while both coaches have lifted the Champions League twice.
The pair has been seen as the height when it comes to
managing, but matthaus believes Mourinho is ahead of the Spaniard.
“Pep is not the best coach in the world,” he told La
Gazzetta dello Sport. “I prefer Mourinho. He is the No.1, because Mourinho is
more transparent and more direct than Guardiola.
“I’ve been told that from the players he has coached:
He tells you everything to your face.”
“He will go,” the former Bayern player said. “What
sense does it make to wait until winter to renew your contract? Either you do
it now or you’re going.
“I have a lot of respect for Guardiola, he has won so
much, but he must be clearer. Why don’t you just sign a deal? Speak clearly!
“I have a German favourite to succeed him: Klopp.
There are two foreign candidates: Mourinho, but he will not leave Chelsea, and
Carlo Ancelotti.”
