In this life, if you get such big opportunities the first thing you should do is INVEST. There are so many businesses that you can INVEST in. Why are people so STUPID.
Klinsmann at Germany was only a PR trick. The real manager was already Joachin Löw, even if he was officially only the assistant. With Klinsmann as the real manager (and not only the nominal one), Germany would have never got third in 2006.
The omission of Alan Curbishley (managed Charlton Athletic 1991-2006 and West Ham 2006-2008 from this list surprises me!!); a decent English manager that -somehow- fell from grace with no wrongdoing of his own These are his own words: “It took me a year to sort out my differences with West Ham, which was far too long. Then the opportunities I was being offered didn’t really appeal to me,” “It was mostly Championship stuff. Suddenly you find that it’s been two or three years and you’re out of favour. You’re forgotten." “I think the game moves on so quickly. There are owners of football clubs who are new to the game and don’t really know about you. Then I possibly lost a bit of enthusiasm for it, to be honest. I started doing other things and getting involved in TV work and I was enjoying that. Then you’re out too long. That’s the problem.”
Allegri's resting man. Atleast make videos on true basis . Allegri is a class Coach & we can see how Juventus's performing without him & they're an exact copy of Barcelona under Valverde. Some Managers these days are getting Jobs without Any reason tbf. Pirlo , I don't knw what Juventus's management was thinking , Lampard ? These teams are trying hard to find someone like Pep from their past Generations . Koeman's job to me is justified because he's been under management from a long time & his performances have been average with average teams.
Hughs and Bruce both came from a Man U background which is well known for its historic zero social understanding or support of its members , perhaps that is why they have both failed as managers.
Lucien favre, he coached many average players to become good players. Peter Stoger, he can overachieve with a small and modest club. By the way, Sammi Hypia made headlines with a talented leverkusen back around 2010, whatever happened to him man. Ernest Valverde just had a very tough assignment at Barce too.
Van Marwijk, Juande Ramos, Schuster, Capello, José Antonio Camacho, Carlos Queiroz, John Toshack, Frank Rijkaard, André Villas Boas, Jean Fernandez, Elie Baup, Javier Clemente, Leonardo Jardim, Guy Lacombe, Francesco Guidolin, Blanc, Paul Le Guen, Rémi Garde, Jacques Santini, Aimé Jacquet, Alberto Zaccheroni, Luigi Delneri, Marcelo Lippi,Ciro Ferrara, Maurizio Sarri, Luciano Spaletti, Zdenek Zeman, Gordon Strachan , Martin O'Neill, Graeme Souness, Alex Mcleish, Sven Göran Eriksson, Kevin Keegan, Stuart Pearce, Ottmar Hitzfeld, Otto Rehhagel, Thomas Schaaf, Felix Magath, Matthias Sammer, Valverde, Quique Sanchez Flores, Héctor Cúper, Jorge Valdano, Carlos Alberto Parreira,
Not going to lie bit harsh on Hughes. Although things ended sour at stoke he did a very good job. Got them to their highest ever finish in the prem and brought a lot of talent to the club
Football hasn’t left Allegri behind. Football has become sentimental, Koeman Ole Arteta Pirlo all hold elite jobs but their CV shows that they should be nowhere near where they are
It wasn’t a decade long slump for Schalke. Only the last 3 years were disappointing because of poor decisions made by the board for a long time. The problem with Wagner was that he and Schneider were promised to have a 40-50 million budget. But that was simply untrue. We just had 20 mill as budget and they also had to reduce the salary by 15 mill. Wagner and Schneider already bought kabak by the time, they also were in final talks with Silas Wamangituka and Robin Gosens (who is a fan of Schalke) was about to sign for our club. Both of these deals were off once it was clear Schalke just had the money for kabak. It’s such a shame and it really tears my heart apart when thinking about that these players could’ve been in our squad. I’m sure with these players in addition and a rejection of mustafi then we would have had great chances to stay in the league. Oh and additionally I can understand that Wagner was disappointed by the Schalke board I can understand that but he was sooo depressed about this whole situation that he basically gave up on the team and that made him bad coach for me.
I am surprised Wenger is not on this list. He is the epitome of football leaving behind managers. He is more of a man manager with almost no tactical development.
Another example is Hristo Stoichkov - without a doubt the greatest footballer Bulgaria ever produced, he is however a prime example that being a great player doesn't always translate at managerial level. His first coaching gig was with the Bulgarian national team after it was thrashed at the Euro 2004 with goal difference of 1:9. He failed in the 2006 World Cup qualification group, finishing 9 points behind Croatia and Sweden (we were ahead of Croatia in the Euro 2004 qualification group) and was sacked midway through the Euro 2008 qualification campaign after falling out with the then captain Stiliyan Petrov. He got another gig at Celta Vigo, but the only thing he did there was dragging the down to Segunda Division. He then had a stint at Mamelodi Sundowns which will be more remembered for his interviews in broken English (go check them out - just type "Stoichkov interview in English") than the on pitch performance. His final stint (as in managing a single game...I'll get to that) so far was with the Bulgarian professional team Litex Lovech, guiding them to two 5th place finishes. He was then hired as manager at CSKA Sofia where he managed no games - he litterly resigned only a month after he was hired. Nowdays he serves as a pundit in the USA, but I think it's safe to assume that he won't return to managerial position anytime soom.
Lol Steve Bruce is the most dry manager ever I swear, nobody could get excited about him walking throw the door of their club. Get in the bin with Megson, McCarthy, Pardew and all the other dead rubbish managers.
@Prometheus Dazza Steve Kean, no second 'e'. I'm not aware of him ever having another job after Blackburn, this list seems to be more about managers who were previously well established...
Where's Sven-Goran Eriksson? Used to win titles in Europe with several clubs and managed England for five years. In the latter years he's managed Chinese teams and the Philippines national team.
@The Truth K In contemporary football he's probably out of his depth to an extent, but I'd say it's a harsh judgement that a manager who won Serie A, the UEFA Cup and Coppa Italia twice with Lazio in only three seasons always belonged at his current level. Football changes, and so do people.
This is very ignorant and a inaccurate. Allegri has 'chosen' to take time out of football. He hasn't been 'left vrhind' or overlooked by any clubs - he decided he needed a break from football.. that's all there is to it. We're he to make himself 'available' again you can bet that at least a dozen clubs would make contact with him. He's still very much in demand which is more than can be said for many of the other managers featured here.
I can't believe Laurent Blanc isn't here.The man who Took bordeaux to the top in ligue 1,The man who built the PSG team and made them what they are now,Like not including him in this proves how much under appreciated he is,Both as a player and as a manager.
Come on fd, you keep getting worse by the day. This list is just embarrassing. Just checked in for the 1st time in months, apparently I was right not to bother. Jesus christ that's bad. Alan pardew and Alegri on the same list!!!!!
