I wouldn't say that Pep Guardiola is overrated, but if he archive's replicating FC Barcelona at FC Bayern Munich, I would definitely like to see him succeed Sir Alex at Manchester United when Sir Alex step down. But if I looking a British manager in premier league I would go for David Moyes, but he's won anything trophy wise yet. When Sir Alex's arrive at Old Trafford he had won a lot trophies north of border (Scotland) with Aberdeen (Aberdeen is last team dominate Scotland that was not a Glasgow club (Celtic or Rangers)) and also he had won European cup winners cup beaten Real Madrid in the final.Without a doubt overrated imo!
At Barca he had sooo many great players at his disposal, an only really one team to challenge him domestically.
Much of the same at Bayern..many great players, an only really one team to challenge domestically. Although the bundesliga is alot more tighter from top to bottom!
It is being said he's being lined up to take over from Sir Alex, but if i was a utd supporter id honestly prefer Moyes or O'Neill.
I aint sayin Pep isnt any good, his record speaks for its self, im just sayin for me to be classed a top manager, they need to have shown in their career more than just great coaching ability..like id like to see him takeover a Spurs, Everton or Dortmund like team.
Guardiola overrated? How exactly? He's relatively unproven, but you can't just sit there behind a computer screen and claim that anyone could have done what he did at Barca. I fully expect him to dominate German football with Bayern now, and still people will say he's overrated as they are a club 'expected' to win everything. Then he'll go to United and do the same, but the same arguement will be thrown back at him. It's hardly his fault that he started management at the very top...
Am i the only one that has realised Sunilvk spelt Bayern "Bayerm"?
I wouldn't say he's overrated but he still isn't fully proven. If he went a team like Arsenal or Chelsea, who aren't the best teams in their league and dominated then he would win a lot of people over.
Bayern are a massive club and it is a challenge for him, but not a big enough one for people to say he's one of the best ever. His career path is basically set out now given the length of his contract.
In fairness you could almost level the same argument at Jose. He is famed for what he has done at massive clubs. And we dont question the fact that he is world class. I think if he goes on to be a success it would be fair to define Pep as proven.

I disagree there. Jose has achieved more with less resources. He transformed Porto into a much stronger team than what they were if I remember correctly..
Pep is quite a bit under the likes of Sir Alex and Mourinho imo, but he isn't that far away from them. His stint at Bayern will prove ti be an adequate test imo.
Relative to the rest of the league Porto have massive resources. And they had a very strong side.
Still though he went on to win Champions League titles with both Porto and Inter who were both massive underdogs in the competition...
