It’s crime for what Pep has done in England and suffice to say the word ‘perp’ passes for one of his many pseudonyms. Three Premier League titles in four years is such an enormous feat for someone whom many swore was going to be a flop prior to his English appointment.
The work he’s done in England and his managerial career in entirety is revolutionary; he’s painted a superb form of football graffiti that will stand the test of time, like Sarkodie, Pep is in a league of his own and your opinion about him and his style matters less because he keeps winning.
Pep has amassed 31 trophies in all of his 12 seasons as a manager and definitely clinching his 32nd trophy and 3rd Champions League trophy if the football gods unite under the true spirit of the sports, and I say this in all strength and bias.
For doubters, it’s taken him 12 years to have the 3rd most trophies as a manager in football history. For context, Sir Alex Fergusson who’s No. 1 won 49 trophies in 39 years averaging 1.29 trophies per year.
Mircea Lucescu who’s No 2 has won 33 trophies in 40 years averaging 0.83 trophies per year. Pep on the hand, is averaging 2.58 trophies per year.
