Why only 2 choices, are you missing EPL's leader... ManUtd... Lord Fergie?

I 'd pick him over the 2.

 

Rijkaard is overhyped, but so is Mancini. I'd still say Mancio however because Rijkaard has been less than wonderful before Barca.

 

Frank Rijkaard is slightly better, but certainly none are World class.

 

Rijkaard.Debt ridden team but still triumphing.Anyways Mancini did shit when Juve and Milan were out there.

 

Rijkaard over Mancini, but Trappatoni over both and Mourinho over all.

 

I'm better than Mancini.

 

I remember Mancini being savaged left, right and centre until the competition was wiped away.

 

The Frank.

 

Rijkaard is a rookie coach, a decent coach at best. Dont have much part in Barca's success because another coach could do what he does. But he has atleast accomplished something with Barca. Built a system(typical dutch way, he is not tactically good or diverse) and picked the right players.

What has Mancini done? **** all besides win bunch of Coppa Italias. The sooner Inter get rid of him, the better. I hope people dont give too much credit to him when Inter win this season.

 

Is it the coach or the team? the better question is which coach would do better on a team like Ascoli, i would have to say it probably would be Rijkaard.

The man who failed at Sparta Rotterdam? :rollani:

 

u have to pick Frank out of the two. u have to pick based upon track record of which FR's is better.

however, dont think either are that fantastic

 

None of them. The true coaching god is Hans Meyer. :stuckup:

 

Riijkard, the level of pressure he faces is massive compared to Mancini and the job at Barca means he has more tactical limitations because Barca's style demands the manager can only play ith a forward thinking mentality so therefore Riijkard has to implement other strategies such as making the team hold the ball better and rotating the position between Eto'o and Ronaldinho when the opponent pressures the Barca left wing. The fact that he won a european cup with this cavalier style of play proves to me he's a better coach

Thats abit harsh Osman, he did alright job with Fiorentina, good with Lazio and his Inter record isn't great yet (waite what he does this season actually). I agree with the current squad he has (not only the best in Italy but also one of the best in Europe) not many would give him the credit if he only wins the title. But if he wins the CL (the trible) I think that would be a job well done. He has nice philosophy of football (attacking) and brought confidence and stability to Inter but does seem clueless with his formation and tactics.

I think anyone who gets the privilege to manage the likes of Ronaldinho, Messi and Eto'o has no other option but to play beautiful football. I doubt whether even Capello can make them play other then that.

 

Managing a team of superstars is never easy.

 

From an Inter fan

Mancini sucks. Worst coach in the world. Yes World.

 

Managing a team of superstars is never easy.

I doubt it whether Mancini has it easy with Inter

I was talking about the nice attacking football Barca play, with those three players how else can you play but to attack?!

 

Not just that.His defenders press at the half-line,now that is why it is attacking.

 

Milan is still out there

 

I prefer Rijkaard over Mancini. But many others over them, like Jose, Benitez or Wenger.

 

They are both sort of unproven :undecide: they have been pretty lucky in their careers

 

Not Rijkaard.He has done a miracle at Barcelona.

 

Rijkaard is the better manager IMO but him flopping big time at the Euro's, Sparta Rotterdam and being out foxed by Mourinho in the CL two times will against him.

I wouldn't call it a miracle, it's more about Laporta and Beguiristan with their signings IMO. Rijkaard has had a great selection of players at his hand and his main quality as a manager is that he keeps it simple tactically and gives the players freedom they need in attack ( he has good man management skills too of course). Basically he's still a rookie manager and probably he would flop outside Barca. But he would be dumb to leave because he's the right kind of manager for Barca and Barca is the right kind of club for him.
