For Pep, Mourinho, Klopp, and Ancelotti, being a "World-Class Coach" is counting the number of trophies they've won throughout their careers.

For Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, being a "World-Class Coach" is counting the number of times he's beaten the above-mentioned names.
Don't take me wrong. Beating PSG and dismantling Leipzig was a remarkable achievement. Ole should 1000% be given credit for it. He set his team up properly and everybody should praise him for it.

But I'm seeing people going over the board and branding him as a "Master Tactician"
Arteta actually won something with Arsenal, months into his FIRST-EVER coaching job. That time, FT called him a prodigy. Today, he's being branded as a fraud because of an average start.

Now, Ole, who was branded as a fraud, becomes a genius because he beat PSG and Leipzig?
If any United fan, reads this thread, they'd mostly point to the fact that I'm a Spurs fan and I should shut up about winning trophies.

Fair enough.

If you guys don't rate Poch cuz he didn't win anything for us, how do you call Ole "World-Class" with the same mouth?

Cheers.
