Biggest Moaner Football Management?

 Antonio Conte has been in charge at Tottenham since November and he’s already finding plenty of things to complain about. Here’s how we compares to football’s resident moaner, Jose Mourinho.


There are a lot of similarities when it comes to current Tottenham boss Antonio Conte and AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho. 


Both men have won the Premier League with Chelsea, both have won the Serie A with Inter Milan and both have found it near impossible to change Tottenham's fortunes.


Another major similarity is that both men are massive complainers. Here, we take a look back at their best strops and determine who is the biggest moaner in football.


Conte hit the headlines this week after underlining his dissatisfaction with Tottenham's business during the January transfer window.


On this occasion his gripes do have some justification. After all, the club did shed four players while only bringing in two.


"Tottenham are seeking young players they can develop and grow, not players who are ready," he told Sky Sports Italia. "That is the issue.


"This is the vision and the philosophy of the club. It is inevitable that, if you want to grow quicker and if you want to be competitive more rapidly, you need players with a lot of experience, because they also raise the experience level of the overall team.


"But I repeat, I have realised now that this is the vision of the club."


Mourinho also had his fair share of transfer complaints during his time in the Premier League. Arguably his most memorable transfer rant came towards the end of his first spell at Chelsea.


With the Portuguese manager unable to get the players he wanted, results inevitably began to suffer. That, coupled with an injury crisis, produced this famous quote: "The style of how we play is very important. But it is omelettes and eggs.


"No eggs - no omelettes! It depends on the quality of the eggs. In the supermarket you have class one, two or class three eggs and some are more expensive than others and some give you better omelettes. So when the class one eggs are in Waitrose and you cannot go there, you have a problem."
