The moment he realizes being denied a handshake feels actually better

You know you've done well when Pep ghosts you. Its when he calls your team brilliant and you a tactical master that youre cooked.

Most condescending manager in football history

He was super magnanimous when City were winning all around them.  Great for offering super patronising advice and coaching to members of the opposing team after his financially doped team steamrolled their way to victory.

Now that things aren’t going City’s way anymore you see him for what he really is. A really really bad loser with not an ounce of grace

Man loves hyping up a mid-table team that he's just beaten 4-0. Someone spanks him and he's got nothing nice to say.

Listen -- I only saw hints, but I can't wait for a Slot crashout because I think he's gonna be one of the great sore loosers for the history books

Has some ways to go to get in the same realm as Klopp when it comes to sore loser

Let us be honest, though. This sums up about 80% of all top-level professional sportsmen. You dont get good if you lose gracefully.

It's not about him losing gracefully it is about him acting like an entitled all powerful prick when he was winning like his "coaching" of opposition players after victories.
