I find him more in the Sir Alex mold to be honest, except for the aura, charisma, strategical planning and man management skills among other qualities. He is to Sir Alex what Pulis is to Mourinho. He wants to be pro active but thinks he can do it '90s style where you just find 11 players that can win their duels, motivate them to tackle and close down and get your pacey dribblers to unlock defenses. I hadn't actually heard what
@Bastian wrote about OGS saying he sees himself more of a leader but it does make perfect sense. He wants to play the Sir Alex forgetting two key things; 1) he does not have Sir Alex's personality and unparalleled ability to build and eye for talent and 2) he is competing in the age of micro coaches with significantly more refined structure and systems.
I see a lot of comments addressing the quality of players and OGS stylistic preferences. This makes it sound like implementing a way of playing is a simple of matter of wanting and deciding and getting the right players to do it. It neglects the very obvious element of actual technical competence of the individual in charge. If said technical competence was so irrelevant, there would be absolutely no reason to pay high wages to the likes of Klopp or Guardiola. OGS's problem is not that he doesn't have the right players or that he is inherently defensive or cautious or whatever, it is, from how it looks now at least, that he is not good enough in the areas that are very relevant in modern coaching.
