    Dalglish won the double in his first season in charge he was younger than Rodgers at the time

    Outside of England, didn't Rafa win the league in his 2nd season at Valencia? Simeone finished 3rd and won the Europa in his 2nd season

    I am sure there's plenty of others
    Guardiola and Rijkaard at Barca.

      I presume you mean whilst he was at June

      He won the Intertoto in his first season then in the 2nd he finished runner-up in the Serie A, and he was sacked by Juventus. Ancelotti's dismissal was announced by Juventus at halftime in the final league game of the season, even though they were still in with a chance of winning the title.

        How many years did it take Mourinho to win the league at Porto??

            Come on lads, technically it's Brendan's first season with these new players and they're looking for an identity that may well arrive in a Christmas cracker

              Rafa won the league in his first season at Valencia. Mourinho won the UEFA cup in his first full season.

              Ferguson at Aberdeen, Guardiola at Barcelona. Klopp won the German cup in his first season at Dortmund.

              It is difficult to generalize as a number of factors affect the situation, the quality of the squad, the presence of a super talent etc., but I think most great managers show the promise by over achieving in the initial years or at their first great club job.

              Most importantly all of them have a clearly defined vision or style of play which they dont deviate significantly.

              Even when they have received criticism - Rafa, Mourinho, Guardiola, Klopp, Ancelotti - have never deviated significantly from their core beliefs. They are able to sell to their players a specific way of playing football and when everyone in the squad plays that way, the whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts.

                His second season but his first full season. He took over Porto in January 2002 and won the league in 2003.

                  Ancelotti got 2nd in his 2nd season at Parma.
                  He also won Serie A in his 2nd full season at Milan.

                  Both by his mid 40's.

                    Rodgers didn't win anything at Swansea and Reading - didn't win (it was Gerrard-Sturridge-Suarez) in 13-14 - and hasn't won anything until now (and never will!!!)

                      I guess it is harsh to say he failed at Juve

                        I think Rodgers, Pardew and Burley would argue that LMA Manager of they year is not nothing...

                          ...and don't forget Hodgson. The LMA was the standout credential on his CV for the England job, so maybe that's where Rodgers is heading next?

                              I can't believe people are forgetting Rodgers coverted Championship playoff final win for Swansea. Also Hodgson won the finder's crispy pancake league in Scandinavia once.

                              Winners.

                                Hodgson is a genuine Knight, First Class of the Order of the Lion of Finland

                                Sadly as it stands the aforementioned managers could only dream of having a cv like Hodgsons when they retire
