firstly, I would argue that he made it the best job in football. secondly, he took over a team that had finished 3rd (18 points behind the winners) in a supposed 2 team league, and didn't just win but made them one of the most dominant teams in all of football's history. thirdly, it's a myth that he just inherited a great team. yes he inherited Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, but they weren't the focal point of the team at the time. that was Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Deco whom he got rid of. no-one had heard of Busquets or Pedro, and I doubt even Man U fans would've been able to pick Pique out in a line-up, yet he took them from Barca B and Man U reserves and made them important parts of a team that won every single trophy it participated in for one and a half seasons, and 14 out of 19 overall. he gave 22 youth players their debuts in 4 seasons, in a team where the demand to win is utterly relentless, and he just kept winning. that's pretty much unheard of at the highest level. you don't do that without being great yourself, and I don't know that any other manager would've achieved what he did there. that's not to say no-one else would've been successful there, but to win the number of trophies he did, and in the style that he did is an incredible achievement. I'll repeat, 14 out of 19 trophies. there has never been any collection of players anywhere that has ever been expected win 75% of trophies at a high level over that space of time, so to pretend after the fact that he just did what was expected, and to distill all that down to "he was parachuted into a great club with unlimited funds" shows a huge lack of knowledge and understanding on your part.
