One World Sports: A Legend and Legendary Drama

Beyond The Pitch

As we head to the Champions League Final and all the celebration and heartache it will provide for the finalists, Anto and Phil are joined by a legend and the potential for legendary levels of sparks and hostilities renewed as Pep Guardiola is now officially joined by his old nemesis in Jose Mourinho in the City of Manchester for the next three seasons. We, of course, begin with a legend, as former Bayern, Inter and German national team captain Lothar Matthäus gives us his take on the Guardiola years in Germany, what he expects from Carlo Ancelotti at the club and we dig a bit into some of the magical and not so magical nights during a tremendous career which saw him play in nine international tournaments and lead Germany with 150 caps and virtually every trophy there is to win. In segment two, Mark Ogden of The Independent get us up to speed in the matter of Jose Mourinho coming to Manchester, along with a review of the Van Gaal seasons which came apart at the seams and what we might expect in the matter of new faces coming and going from Old Trafford. We begin the show with true World Class talent and then bring it back to what could develop into a World Class battle for reputations and legacies that will shall get quickly defined for two of the best managers in football who have descended into Manchester for a defining chapter.
