Who was the best manager ever in your opinion?
My top 10:
1. Sir Alex Ferguson, possibly one of the best in the world.
2. Willie Malley, He led Celtic to 30 major trophies in 43 years as manager.
3. Fabio Capello, Won 59% of all the games hes managed, which is 500+
4. Giovanni Trapattoni, considered the most successful club coach in the history of Italy.
5. Ottmar Hitzfeld, With a total of 18 major titles, one of the best in german history and world.
6. Marcello Lippi, Won 15 trophoes, including World Cup 2006.
7. Alf Ramsay, Lead Ipswich to First Division from Third Division in 8 years and 66 World Cup.
8. Jose Mourinho, won four consecutive league titles and UEFA Cup and Champions League
9. Bobby Robson, 14 trophies, and lead England to Semi Final of World Cup in 1990.
10. Brian Clough, one of the finest in English history, his achievement of winning back-to-back European Championship Cup wins with an unfashionable provincial side

Im not being biased either, just think how much hes achieved, and how long hes managed it for is remarkable.
Other managers only hack it for a few years, thats why I think Wenger and in particular Ferguson stand out from the other Premier League Managers.
Read a top 50 managers of all time article the other day and Sven was 38th. Dunno what they were thinking! | | | | | | | 06-07-08, 01:14 AM | #5 (permalink) | | What Fed can do with a grape, I can't do with a beach ball!

It's gotta be Fergie. Everytime it looks like some other team is going to dominate, Fergie always builds a new United and takes the title away from his rivals. But I'm a little disappointed that 'Sir' Bob Paisley isn't in there. He helped Shankly build the foundations of Liverpool football club then when Shanks called time on his Anfield career, Bob took the club onto bigger and better things. His haul included, 6 Football League Division One titles, 3 European Cups, 1 UEFA Cup, 2 European Super Cups, 3 League Cups, 6 Charity Shields (1 of those were shared). All that in just 9 years. Surely Paisley should be there as well.  |

Since Jock Stien ain't there, it has to be Willie Malley! |

although he might not be the greatest yet... David Moyes is a great manager, what he's done with everton is just brilliant.
Fergie for me all the way though, and alex is a good manager too :P |

No Gusztáv Sebes, Hugo Meisl, Bela Guttman or Ernst Happel?
Rinus Michels - the inventor of "Total Football" and the manager named by FIFA as "Manager of the Century" not on the list?
No Miguel Muńoz? Seems winning the Spanish League 9 times, the European Cup twice, a couple of Spanish Cups and the Intercontinental Cup once with an insanely good Real Madrid counts for nothing... | | | | | | | 10-07-08, 09:08 PM | #20 (permalink) | | Backup To The First Team Join Date: Jun 2008 Posts: 139 Thanks: 40 Thanked 20 Times in 19 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 |
