Mourinho makes unexpected pick for best Premier League manager

The Premier League has seen many legendary managers achieve great success, and the debate over who is the greatest continues. This time, José Mourinho was asked to weigh in.

Details: The former Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham manager was asked to choose between Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola as the best in Premier League history. However, Mourinho refused to compare them and instead highlighted the achievements of Claudio Ranieri, who led Leicester City to their historic title.

Quote: “Fergie or Pep? Oh, that’s impossible to compare. You can’t compare generations. You can’t compare potential. But both of them are historic in the Premier League.

But I would still say that, for me, Ranieri is historic in the Premier League. Because winning with Leicester—that is something unique. Winning four, five, six titles with Manchester United in that generation is great, but… winning five, six, or seven titles in this generation with Manchester City is great, but…

With Leicester, there is no ‘but.’ For me, that was the most incredible title I’ve ever witnessed,” Mourinho said.

Reminder: Previously, the Portuguese coach jokingly compared himself to former Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma.
