Jose is proud, charismatic, tough but special. He has locked horns with the best managers in the game and came out unscathed.Known to use adages a lot. In 2007 he made a reference about classes of waitrose eggs as a response to questions from the british press.Jose fine-tuned his managerial skills under the legendary bobby charlton at barcelona. Few soccer fans are aware he even managed Pep Guardiola at barcelona. He took the whole of Europe by storm in 2003 and 2004 by winning back to back european cups.On the other hand, Jurgen Klopp relatively unknown at mainz fc before moving to dortmund, has a nose for discovering unpolished and uncut gems and turning them into superstars. Kagawa, Reus, Lewandowski, Gundogan, Goetze etc are examples. Klopp believes in youth and stability. Dortmund players are among the most energetic and fittest players on the planet..The financial discipline on German sides coupled with the 50 + 1 rule helped klopp gredually assemble an army that is currently amongst the most feared in Europe. Despite the financial disparity between Bayern munich and Borussia dortmund, the 2013 UCL finals was a delight to watch and has been described as the most interesting in almost a decade. Mourinho has decided to stick with youth this season, a system klopp has already mastered. Klopp is priviledged to be amongst a few to have a better head to head against Jose Mourinho. But the big question remains who is a better manager?
