Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

[Coatigan]

Am I the only one who really doesn’t rate Ancelotti that highly?

European trophy record holder, and manager of the year Ancelotti? Probably, aye.

Not that I would want him here to be clear, but he is an excellent manager.

His CV is incredible.

Carlo Ancelotti's management record includes:

• Champions League
  Ancelotti is the most successful manager in UEFA Champions League history, winning the trophy five times, including two as a player. He's also the only manager to participate in six Champions League finals.
  
  
  
• Trophies
  Ancelotti has won 20 trophies in his career, including:
  • Two World's Best Club Coach awards
    
    
    
  • Three FIFA Club World Cup wins
    
    
    
  • One English Champion title
    
    
    
  • One German Champion title
    
    
    
  • Two Spanish Champion titles
    
    
    
  • One Italian Champion title
    
    
    
  • One French Champion title
    
    
    
  • Five Uefa Supercup wins

He had connections with Liverpool and allegedly turned them down so who knows.

He said he decided he was ready to leave Liverpool when the club tried to sell him in 2008 (and replace him with Barry). He left in 2009, three years before the end of his contract. That doesn't scream 'desperate to go back' to me.

Agree.

He’s in the top echelon but barely seems to get any praise in the media over here whereas Klopp, whose record isn’t a patch on Carlo’s, gets talked about in the same bracket as Pep

Yes, but he's won fewer league titles in his career than Pep has at City alone.

Yes, but he's won fewer league titles in his career than Pep has at City alone.

Not saying he is at Pep's level, but he is some manager.

 

[vmsuhail]

Yes, but he's won fewer league titles in his career than Pep has at City alone.

Never won back-to-back titles in his career.

 

[lancs blue]

Yes, but he's won fewer league titles in his career than Pep has at City alone.

It seems to me he's often tasked with winning the CL as a priority over the domestic league, certainly at Madrid.

Understandably when it's basically a two horse race for the domestic title.

Can’t just bring someone in surely we must be preparing for the transition of Peps methods philosophy etc etc now in our DNA so we can speculate but let’s hope his successor is already being prepared
Even Pep had to sacrifice his first season to groom the whole club in his ways which meant clearing out those as good as they may have appeared didn’t have the hart for it
If we don’t continue his blueprint we could end up like the rags with each new manager wanting his “type” of player
My thinking is the answer is still sat inside or has been around Barcelona all their careers
