Former Super Eagles Head Coach Austin Eguavoen has come in defence of Jose Mourinho after he claimed that PSG Manager Mauricio Pochettino can't be compared to the Portuguese.

Mourinho, a former Spurs Manager became the first ever manager to win all the Three UEFA Club Competitions (Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League) and in the history of football a record that may never be broken.

Alex Crook, a pundit on Talksport in the United Kingdom had insisted on live football programme on social media platform, Twitter that Pochettino is a better modern-day manager than Mourinho. 

According to Crook, “If you’re asking me who’s the better manager in 2022, I’d say Pochettino.”

“Poch is a modern manager, Jose’s methods are outdated and he proved that at Manchester United and at Tottenham.”

In his defence, Eguavoen and African legend and now Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) shared this tweet.

 "Jose Mourinho and Mauricio Pochettino are both top managers. But there are only very few managers you can compare to Jose, & the PSG manager isn’t in that bracket. Five European Trophies for Jose against None. League Titles in the major European footballing countries. Come on!"
