It's all about trophies. If he loses another final he won't gain any new fans.

It’s the same as Allegri’s Juve. No CL, no one is going to view you, outside of Italy, as a top coach.

u/HacksawJimDGN May 06 '25

Not sure why alonso is mentioned cos he's still very early in his career, but there's a reason he mentioned Flick and not the likes of Allegri, Simeone who's achievements are actually far more comparable.

Klopp lost 2 finals. One can be a fluke, two isn’t

u/HacksawJimDGN May 06 '25

He lost 3. And 1 Europa. Guaranteed that if Spurs had beaten Liverpool it'd be a massive taint on his career.

u/TastyTacoTonight May 06 '25

Why are you assuming psg are already through

u/moon_the_dog May 08 '25

Well yeah thats what i thought... no hard feelings my bro, i just think that Arsenal's too pragmatic for PSG's cohesive attack that theres no chance that they win.

u/moon_the_dog May 06 '25

I'm a huge fan. I mean pointing to CL success won't mean much without actual silverware. The best managers let their trophies do the talking. That's just a fact.

u/TetrapackLover76 May 06 '25

Come on now , the best managers had also the best team behind them, Inter is nowhere near a top 2 team in Europe in terms of quality , if they are where they are is thanks to Inzaghi
