Mancini over Pep - your shout, but not for me
Pep is by far the better manager but in terms of doing the impossible, I would hand that to Mancini, that's why he is number 1 for me. Mancini did it first against all odds! The blatant bias against the team was just so much when Mancini pushed for the title, It was personal for him, you could feel it, he just wasn't looking to conquer another territory he was looking to give back to the fans. There was a connection with Mancini that's missing with Pep, you could see how emotionally attached Mancini was with the team and the struggle to do what no other Manchester city manager had done in the PL era.
Tactically I would say Pep is number 1 and it could remain that way for a very very long time but when it comes to doing the impossible, when it comes to giving 110%, when it comes with standing with the fans, I would rate Mancini as number 1.
