    Best manager in the world, except at defending set pieces.

    Best manager in the world, apart from when it comes to the little things, like winning stuff.

    It's just those intangible, small details.

    He's never punched above his weight. Well done for winning the Olympic gold medal with Argentina, and the Championship with Laeds. He ain't no Otto Rehhagel or Claudio Ranieri, though.

    Still, he has the adulation of Guardiola, another man who has never punched above his weight. Tough gig, winning everything with peak Messi, and then there are the relative failures with Bayern, and with Moneycheatster City. Keep rimming each other, lads - the sight of it might take people's eyes off the fact that neither of them are as good as they've cracked up to be.

    I like watching both their teams play. Don't think he's ever been called the best manager in the world has he?

    You're probably aware of this already, but FIFA has nominated Bielsa, Klopp and Hansi Flick (B. München) for the manager of the year award. Bielsa (I'm assuming that he's the "Bucket Boy" - I've never heard that name before!) is quite a surprising name on that list, I think. :)

    Agreed, but surely the surprise everyone is feeling suggests he's not.
