I don't understand the clamoring for Pep. Yes, he'll win 3 Bundesliga titles, but even I could manage that team in that league to 3 titles. He still hasn't won what they real want, the CL. Yes, he won a lot at Barcelona, but so did Enrique (winning the treble in his first year). Plus, he had Xavi and Iniesta in their primes, which made Spain practically invincible for 3 straight major tournaments. And obviously, he also had the best player ever in addition to those two, which probably means he had 3 of the 5 best players in the world at the time. I would argue that he's led a charmed life being with the right club at the right time. I think a lot of managers could have achieved what he's done with the clubs that he's had. I might lose a lot of credibility with this, but I'm not sure that BR would not have done better.
That all being said, he's still a huge upgrade to Pelligrini.
