No one can win the league in 4 different countries, win the Champions League with Porto and Inter Milan and do what he's done. Mourinho's record and legacy is undeniable. The guy is a genius. And to those who think he's done, take a look at what's happening at Roma

You have to love how Simon can see straight through the flak to view Mourinho’s qualities. The best shows are when they have Danny Murphy as he also has clarity, unlike some of the other ex footballers.

Love him or hate him he's the best manager to Grace the game period. Success in Italy, England, Spain and Portugal.

When asked why he didn't think Mourinho was one of the greatest managers in the world, Jim gave a non sporting reason. Tells you all you need to know. He just doesn't like him.

1000 game as manager is an incredible achievement. He’s done it in 3 of the toughest European league.

I respect Coaches / Managers who go to different leagues in different countries and win something or league( s ). That shows that they can adapt to any style of football played in those leagues and stil impose their style of football.

I'm a Tottenham lad and I thank and will remember mourhino at my club forever . His mentality and passion are what we need . He took Kane and son and a few others and booster them while the dead wood and whiners declined . I will follow Jose's adventures to the end of my days !

Jose is a great manager, the media narrative recently is way out of order! He's a serial winner, although doesn't play my kind of football, but I have nothing but respect for him

Mourinho during man utd had smalling and jones as his primary cb’s, young as lb, herrera, mikhi and still finished second and won the trophies. What mou did with porto,inter and madrid will always be legendary! Nothing can top that. As for pep argument, mou would easily have won ucl with bayern and city but pep would never have won even the league with porto, inter or madrid forget ucl.

Shock… Simon speaking the most sense

Simon would make an incredible barrister… he’s one clever cookie.

I am a chelsea fan and I love this guy his passion and commitment to the game is unquestionable he totally turned the prem on its head when he first managed Chelsea taking on the Invincibles and Manchester United. I am sure I speak for many chelsea fans the best manager we have ever had.

Mourinho is undeniably world class, but things always turn sour because hes got zero tolerance for this new wave of young football megastars who think they are above the club and above the manager himself. Simple.

Jose is one of the best His record speaks for itself He will never see an manager like him ever again Once a kind

He won the Champions League with fc Porto..freaking PORTO

Roma are really exciting right now! Enjoying watching them, hope they push for the scudetto!

Look at Jim 🤣 he’s fuming! Jose’s living rent free in that silver head😅

Funny how Jim white aka mr sky sports doesn’t like Jose & the whole of the media & of course sky sports seem to feel the same hence the narrative and disrespect that’s been shown to him for a number of years now. All the best to him & that’s from a Liverpool fan

As a United fan I completely agree with Simon. Jose is without doubt one of the great managers of all time and is by no means finished as Jim would have you believe.. I appreciate what Jose done for United...

Jim White doesn't have a clue. Jose Mourinho is one of the greatest managers ever. Top 3.

Going back to Italy was the best thing that could happen, Roma looking really exciting under Jose...

There will always be haters like Jim, his record speaks for itself, i will always follow him, congratulations Mourinho on your 1,000th game, and may you win many more trophies, i love a man with the passion he has, just my opinion

I would’ve loved to have seen Mourinho take the Portugal job at this time around. He would’ve done bits with that squad and it’s young talent and Ronaldo up top.

My favorite manager. A special one.

Simon Jordan is my new hero... Well said. You can tell he has a clue about the game that we all love...

Jim is just a hater. This is the same guy that took a picture with Mourinho. Disgrace of a guy

Mourinho had tested himself almost in every leagues and most of it was succeed. While Wenger and Ferguson never test themselves in other leagues. That is so much difference to be comparable. And he also can bring the success to the club he joined less than 2 years to show of what he can achieve. I don't think any coach can do that even Pep.

If Pogba was in Furgi's era he couldn't wear Man U shirt anymore ... He had full autonomy of the club. He was able to handle everything by himself, the first and the last person who speaks. Give Mourinho such autonomy and control in the club for ten years and you will see that he will make a monstrous team... No sheep in the club

Jim is just fumin Jose won at every club he went accept Spurs 🤣🤣🤣

Simon (and Danny) quite right, Jim very wrong. Amusing discussion though.

He is greatest of all time. He’s one every title possible at least once.

Jose is one of the greatest managers of all time, no doubt about it. Jim sounds like a hater all he is saying "Jose argued with a players, so he is no good". I think Jose likes military style discipline in team. All must play according to plan and concentrate on football first, not party's , endorsements and magazine photo sessions.

Mourinho's legacy as a manager is envious than any other imo! The fact that he's won titles in four different top leagues in Europe and has more trophies than Ferguson,who I believe is second,has to make him better. Mourinho is also someone who has about 10+ good years in him. It'll be interesting to see the record he has when he retires!

Nobody should argue against Jose being one of the greatest managers of all time. But when talking about Ferguson, they didnt even bother to mention his time at Aberdeen where he won 3 league titles, 6 domestic cups, european cup winners cup and the European super cup. "Only ever did it at United"... those 38 trophies were at United, he has 50 overall

mourinho and pep are the greatest to ever do it,consistent levels of success from the start of their careers.

The Fergie/Mourinho debate reminds me a little of the Messi/Ronaldo debate. The formers spent all their years at one club and the latters achieved success in multiple countries/cultures/languages.

Simon Jordan best pundit on radio or tv fact needs he’s own show

Love or hate him MOURHINO MY GUY

The guy lost only a bit above 10% of his games, what an achievement. I think that Roma should hire him for at least 4-5 years

He is very special. He relishes challenges and never afraid to compete. A serial winner who respects his opponents by identifying their strengths but playing against their weaknesses. As a kid back home in Africa, I always spend the money I barely had just to hear Mourinho’s interviews. From an interpreter to who is becoming. He inspired me to make it despite my weaknesses. Respect Papa

Jose Mourinho gave Manchester United the EUROPA CUP, a cup that the club has never won. Mourinho is a successful manager. Tottenham hotspur robbed him of the trophy that he was going to win for them.

Simon is a very intelligent man! I love the way he sends his messages/ points across!

Simon well said about mou achievement under various circumstances n clubs n countries . Very true n accurate n fair n just n that’s what mou deserves from the football world .

His greatest ever achievement will be how he announced himself in the premier league, having led Porto to back-to-back European titles, first, the Europa League, followed by the League title and Champions League. And with Roma and what he seems to be building, he could end up being the first to win the Conference League(2022), followed by Europa League(2023) this season, and top it all off by winning the Champions league(2024) next season, that'll be something if he manages to achieve that! Already in my eyes as the Best Manager of the last 20 years.

Jose is one of the greatest managers of all time.his record speaks for itself . he's a winner. Full stop.

Simon spittin facts as always 🔥

Achievements alone there is no debate imo Jose smashes the list out the park

Simon 100% correct regarding Mourinho & Pogba!

Mourinho is the best, could Pep or any of the others mentioned win a Champions League with Porto? Pep couldn't even do it with all the money in the world with City, ahah..

People gloss over his time at Porto, he was an experienced coach but relatively inexperienced manager. Joined halfway through a season and promised that he would make them beasts the following season. He then won the league and the uefa cup, then the next season he won the league and the champions league. I challenge anyone to name someone who has done something similar with such incredible results. The guy is ‘one of the best’ in the history of the game.

Nobody bothered to mention what fergie did at Aberdeen

If Jose had gone in straight after Ferguson he would have won the league and dominated for years but Ferguson made sure that didn’t happen and I’ll always stand by that

I totally agree with Simon, Jose as a manager is second to none with what he has won 🏆

Anyone who does not think Mourinho was not not one of the greatest managers needs to reevaluate how the valuate football managers. Ferguson or Mourinho, it does not matter, both were great managers. However I would argue Ferguson had a much easier path as he nearly always got what he wanted/needed. Mourinho on the other hand is one of the most trophied managers of all time, winning the CL with Porto alone was a tremendous feat.

Simon! Wow!! That comparison between Ferguson and Mourinho was epic. These are type of the intelligent guys we need here, and not the other guy (Jim? Or Danny?)

Simon's the only English pundit publicly defending Jose's legacy backing it up with facts.

With great admiration for great managers like Sir Alex Ferguson, Pep Guardiola, Arsene Wenger ... For me Jose Mourinho is unique and different from the rest in that he is a trouble seeker , I mean always looking for challenges. Just analyse the situations of the clubs before he join them ..... For me he is my GOAT manager

Jim. Clamped. Again. Good job Simon 👏

No other football Manager has so many top players who will die or kill for them, as countless players did with Jose.

I love mourinho the man is a Genius....a very clever ruthless manager...I for one would love him to come back to the premiership....

Jose Mourinho didn't thank Simon Jordon for nothing when he came to talkSPORT this summer. Jose Mourinho is the greatest manager of all time along with Sir Alex.

Pep plays good football but he won’t manage a club without a bottomless pit of cash and every club he’s ever joined was already winners. Mourinho is truly the special one. I respect managers who’ll take on a small/difficult projects just as they’ll a big/easy one in comparison.

How anyone can question mourinho is beyond me... And to think man u and Tottenham think they are better off without him is laughable in my opinion.

Facts ! Well said Simon

If people cite doing it in different countries, with different cultures, as what makes Pep special (as a counter to the argument that he's always had the best resources whatever league he's managed in), surely the same also applies to Mourinho. I think it's even more impressive than what Fergie did. Winning the league with Roma would make it 9 league titles in 4 different countries, plus 2 champions leagues, 2 europa/uefa and loads of domestic cups... Could make a very could case for him being right up there as one of the best.

Jim always starts twitching when Simon calls spuds perrenial losers😂😂😂 love it!

Everything simon said was on point! Great stuff

the point he made about being loyal managers arent given the time to be loyal nowadays so that cant be an argument

Jim has never played football or ran a football club the other two have

This is brilliant

Any title that couldv'e been won by a manager in a country or worldwide mourinho has managed, he has won it. The man has won every title available to him at least once from various countries. There is simply no debate.

Simon spot on mate💯

Mourinho class. Fergie class too

As a Man United fan, I always knew that Jose coming to Man United wasn’t gonna work, cos I knew that everyone will want Jose to do like Fergie. Everyone has their managerial/coach style. But Man Utd fans and foolish pundits and former players wanted Jose to play football the way Fergie did. And you hear stupid things like “the Man United way”. He was always gonna do things his own way, the way it has always worked for him. Jose should go to a place where he is loved for success and not by style of football. Italy is good for him, and I wish him well at Roma.

Jose Mourinho the GOAT! All time!

If there's more Simon Jordan the "Media" will be a better place!!

Jim was very biased here how can you not applaud mourinho man's a legend of the game, less interruptions to Jim!

Incredible for him to have won league titles in four different languages. Can't imagine many others have done that. (And if you don't think that's an important factor for a manager, ask Gary Neville...)

This shouldn’t be a difficult question to answer. What Mourinho has achieved in his career is currently unmatched. Based on that alone he is the greatest football manager ever. If you are maybe talking about achievements just in England, then maybe we can add Sir Alex in that conversation. Otherwise, overall Mourinho takes it.

Jose Mourinho is one of e best manager in e World!!! What he has achieved so far, winning so many trophies, he is already a legend!!! Man United which sacked him that time must regret that decision!!!

Some of the pundits never cease to amaze me, the way they they try to trivialize jose,s exploits. Thank you simon for putting some of these charlatans in their miserly places where they belong. Imagine jose coaching man united with this current intimidating squad. Jose took man u to second place on the epl and three trophies during his spell at united. Imagine he did this with a squad full of below average players. There were those who valued themselves more than the club, chief culprit being pogba, supported by the likes of martial and others whose sole objective was to have jose fired. Unfortunately the board took pogba side but look where are they now. Player power has no place in football. What has man u achieved since joses departure, zero shame on them. Jose does not brook that nonsense about player power thats why people always think he is in conflict with some players. Lets see what solskjaer does with this current squad but i bet you he will be seized with so many egoes to please. Roma is going to be pleasure to watch this season. Just watch jose take this team to dizzy heights. The roma fans are out of this world. The management is nxaaaa so supportive. Its just such a young fresh squad squad jose is moulding there. No holier than thou players there like, pogba, martial etc. No touch me not, players like dele, bale, winks etc. No management like levy who fire coaches with a day to go before a final. Instead jose has such a young squad, in the mould of tammy, zaniolo, shomorodov, el sharawwi, vina, pelegrini, patricio vestout etc. These are unprostituted players who play for the badge, their fans and their coach unlike the mercenaries mentioned above. These are players whose purchase prize was never above 40 thou usd. Watch them tear the serie a within the next 2 years under the mentorship of jose.

He's definitely top 10 greatest managers of all time. Where you have him in the top 10 is preference.

I was watching Roma game, it was around 3 am here I was sleepy af untill that final 10 min omg it was such an hype and those goals in injury time had my heart beating so fast great game by roma

He's the best manager as he knows how to win things, fantastic tactician that always has a plan. You can't deny his success. And people may not like him and say all his teams park the bus but his teams always score goals and they tend to win things (with the exception of Spurs because he wasn't backed - Son and Kane loved playing for him)

People will claim Ronaldo is better than Messi, because he has done it across a number of leagues. The same people will argue that Fergie is better than Mourhino, because he did it consistently with one team. How is it any different? Mourhino wins hands down. Credit to Jim for backing his Scottish brother. But he’s backing the wrong horse.

What do you know? In a conversation about the greatest managers of all time, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had to be mentioned by Simon Jordan. Love it! Love it! P.S. Hope the Norwegian gets a new 5 year contract at United as reward for "getting the dressing room together" and "building something for the future" while rival teams actually win trophies.

As for me there is simply no arguments no doubt no misgivings and no issue. The Special One is best of the best: considering that at times he was given the necessary support and resources.

JOSE MOURINHO IS one of, if not the best manager, please am happy to come talk MOURINHO in any of your shows. He has 25 ½ Trophies please.

Mourinho built teams ....... Shankly ..... Busby ..... Ferguson ... Built clubs and created legacy.

It’s insane to me that pep gets all the recognition and people call him the greatest manager of the time yet pep has never in his career taken the challenge of taking a good team and making them great. Pep simply goes to the club that has established greatness while Jose will go to the club that are underdogs and build them up.

simon is always spot on

Mourihno’s greatness is not something to argue about unless you don’t like him and wants reasons to justify why you don’t like him. He is the greatest of all managers looking at the time frame he achieved all he had and again replicating that with different leagues

Definitely the best manager EVER! Look at his record AROUND the world, no other even including Fergie has that record. Proves that one club for life doesn’t prove your the best manager. Pep, might beat him if he gets success at International Level.

Straight facts from SJ. Brilliant

Respect Simon Jordan's take here. I agree with him 100%

Jose is simply the greatest of all time

I notice NO mention of Sir Alex's achievements at Aberdeen.... I'm disappointed in you Jim White. Porto was mentioned for Jose, why no Aberdeen? a much smaller club.

Why’s Jim emphasising loyalty as if it makes a manager better. Fergie fan boy bless him. Not even open to the argument.

6:01 Danny making the cut sign to producers while White and Jordan go down a broadcasting rabbit hole. Love it

1 word legend
