The best coach doesn't always get the trophies. I would also say, that there have been very average coaches that win alot of trophies, but they have just been fortunate to have good players and money to spend. Not just talking about football, but sports over here as well.
If a coach can build a team with little money and only win 1 trophy, in my eyes he is better than a coach that has unlimited money and wins 10 trophies.
Coaches can only do so much, tactics and motivation can only get you so far, eventually it all comes down to the type of players you have, very rarely a coach will take average players and win something with them.

While I agree with you some-what on that mate, but I think in my opinion winning trophies does make you a great coach/manager.
You can have all the money in the world and buy whoever you want but a good coach gets these players organised,working as a team and playing well.
Just look at Real Madrid for instance, they have arguabley the best sqaud of players in the world withing reason and should be rnning the leauge but have a poor manager so aren't.
A good manager will get trophies no matter how poor his squad are; Sir Alex Ferguson with Aberdeen winning the UEFA Cup and Mourhino winning the Uefa Cup and Champions Lauge with Porto, to name a few.

People say his teams were boring (like GG at arsenal) but I'd argue that his teams being so well organised makes him a great coach.
I understand why people want to hate mourinho but anyone who says he isn't a great manager is just bias.
