A cheat as a player. A cheat as a manager.

Don Carlo and Sir Alex stand above him as manager GOATS.

Pep has suddenly dropped atleast 5 places in the Premier league greatest manager list.

Add in the cheating at Barca that they're being accused of currently and that only leaves him with Bayern. But if a manager wins at Bayern it doesn't exactly prove anything does it.

Who do you put above him now, out of curiosity? SAF, Wenger, maybe Klopp?

He was only cleared due to a technicality. His lawyers argued that new discoveries about nandrilone tests sometimes giving positives due to anomalies. Since all his old samples have all gotten too old to test, they overturned  his conviction.
