And I'm sorry, but to say Pochetino and Klopp are among the best coaches in the world while dismissing the likes of Wenger and Van Gaal is nothing short of stupid. Has this writer completely forgotten about Ajax of the 90s or Arsenal from the 2000s?
The context is that they are rating the managers in the present. Today Poch is better than Wenger or Van Gaal. Football evolves and it is very hard for a manager to be ‘the best’ for more than a decade. Fergie was the exception. But Capello, Van Gaal, and even Mourinho (who has been on the wane since his last year at Madrid), are proving that after 10 years their tactics and ways of working are no longer the most effective. Right now, today, Poch is a much better manager than Wenger or Van Gaal.
