Former Super Eagles star Jay-Jay Okocha gives reasons why Guardiola is better than Mourinho.
Pulse Sports asked Nigerian football legend Austin Jay-Jay Okocha who he thought was the better manager between Manchester City's Pep Guardiola and AS Roma's Jose Mourinho and the former Bolton man picked the Spaniard over the Portuguese, citing the following reasons.
Mourinho is predictable
The Enugu-born midfielder has accused the former Manchester United manager of deploying predictable tactics, claiming that there is always an expectation for Mourinho to park the bus.

The 1994 AFCON winner believes Pep, on the other hand, has more in his locker and is capable of tinkering with this team, hence being unpredictable.
"Mourinho is predictable, and you know that he will park the bus. And I think Pep is unpredictable," Okocha told Pulse Sports.

Pep develops players
The second reason Jay-Jay gave for choosing Pep as the better of the two iconic managers is his ability to develop young players.
Over the course of his career, Pep has been credited with discovering, developing, or improving players like Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Pedro, Joshua Kimmich, and Phil Foden, to mention a few.

The 1996 Olympic gold medalist believes this attribute raised Guardiola above his peers, or rather, Jose Mourinho.
