    Been watching more Serie A this year and it hit me - I honestly think the guy is overrated. How he can steal top jobs is beyond me.

    I don't think history will be as kind to him as the present has.

    Spent £50m+ this season on some cracking players, had a great start and have now fell away to mince - sitting 5th the now.

    Man City, fair enough he won the league but he won the league when Arsenal never had the likes of Ozil and Sanchez. Chelsea had that other Portuguese guy Liverpool were rank and Man United weren't massively strong, apart from Fergie. And they only won on goal difference!

    At Inter before, they had untouchable status because Juve were still sorting themselves out, AC were poor as were the rest.

    2007/08 season, they won the league by just three points. This was basically when the other teams got their * together.

    He basically had an Inter who were allowed free reign in Serie A for a good few season because of the scandal hitting the other teams, so could afford more room in the league to focus on Europe, yet they were dire - threw it away against: Valencia, Villarreal and Liverpool. They were miles clear in the league when the played Valencia and Liverpool yet still failed.

    Epic players at their disposal aswell. Then Mourhino comes in and within two seasons wins the treble!

    Seen on Facebook a few Italian guys mention Guidolin and Spaletti - achieved quite a bit despite working under massive constraints at Udinese/Roma.

    Thoughts?

    Thought he looked quite suave when he used to wear the blue and white scarf
