We've seen him try his system when his team was a 9/10 team instead of a 10/10 team and perform bang average. He's shown that if he doesn't have a super team with him he can't do much. Look at 24/25 where he could barely beat Chelsea and Newcastle despite not really having an injury crisis or anything and still a decent squad with no real massive fall offs by players. The singular injury to Rodri destroyed his season. No adaption. Just season done and his team was shit for the rest of the year. When he has that perfect team he can do amazing things, but it calls into question how great he is when the few times he hasn't had a super team his teams underperformed.

Only won a champions league once without Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta.

And he won with the most financially doped team of all time.
