Pep Guardiola inherited one of the best off all times team which had 2 greatest mid fielders of all time and the budding GOAT! Look at it this way, of his 7 league wins, 3 are by the aforementioned stars and 3 are free rides, again by inheriting a treble winners at that!!
As you provide the stats, Mourinho's achievements now seem much better than Guardiola's. He's only been around only 8 years more than Pep, started off with minnows - And wherever he has won significant things he built that team. And rarely has his teams been humiliated so much in the CL, yes he is a defensive manager and Guardiola an attacking one but he has also not gotten himself so many high profile transfer failures like Pep did
After Pep left Barcelona we lost 0-7 to Bayern and ended the next season trophyless with the very same players.
If it was such an easy ride then Ancelotti would not have gotten sacked this season where it looked like Bayern would lose the title and barely compete in the CL. Btw, last I checked they didn't even get to the semifinal with Mr. Champions League himself. Such an easy ride and a treble winning squad people expected Carletto would walk the CL with
Lucho won the treble too, then lost out in the CL the next season to an overrated Atletico and who can forget the humiliation last season despite the redemption 6-1 win. Why did not Lucho win more than one CL title with the greatest front three in the World with a Barcelona that invested huge sums in new players he brought in himself?
Oh, perhaps it's not so easy is it?
Porto were not minnows, they were actually the big winners in Portugal in the 90s before Mourinho took over, eating up Benfica's lead in league titles.
Inter were not minnows either, being pretty much the only relevant Italian team at that stage, and Chelsea had already gone through a major transformation investing a shitload amount of money in the club even when Ranieri was in charge of the team.
Mourinho's Man Utd just went out to a Sevilla team that is among the worst traveling teams in Europe, losing 4-0 to a struggling Celta this weekend.
His Chelsea went out to PSG despite being major favorites. Not huge scorelines, but going out as favorites by being dominated and playing pathetic, spineless football is bad enough itself.
How many high profile failures did he have? He wasn't in charge of transfers in Bayern.
The failures he had in Barcelona were obviously Chigrinsky, perhaps Henrique. I doubt he knew about Keirrison, Hleb maybe. Probably Zlatan in hindsight.
OTOH his transfers for Man City apart from Bravo have been pretty much on point, and Bravo was still a better goalkeeper than Joe Hart who's even worse.
