Former Barcelona midfielder Deco has scoffed at the reputation of Pep Guardiola. Deco insists Guardiola's achievements have been overblown and pales in comparison with Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho.

"Winning everywhere, as Mourinho has done is harder. Guardiola is a great coach, but with Barcelona he did not invent anything. But let's see how he does somewhere else, coaching another team, then we can make a better assessment," declared Deco.
