Best managers of all time

The Abusement Park · Oct 29, 2016

I had a conversation with one of my buddies the other day about who we think the best manager is right now. And it got me thinking who's considered the best manager of all time? SAF? Stein? Trappatoni? Discuss!

That's a good shout. I also forgot to put Hitzfield in the OP as well.

He's definitely behind Moyes IMO.

Ferguson clearly won our poll back in 2009, although managers like Herrera from older eras were excluded.

I'd still think he'll be close to the top, although Guardiola would certainly be amongst the options not mentioned back then.

Granted I have some bias, but I still firmly believe it's Fergie.

Why no body mentioned Marcelo Lippi yet? He was definitely one of the best.

It's easy to look good when you have the biggest budget in the world.
A great manager for me must have done it for club and country and must have brought something new to the game and must have done it also with "small" clubs. That's why guys like Ferguson should never be close to that list. Michels won uefa coach of the century in 1999 and he would still be top right now.

That's not true at all. Even with a big budget you still have to spend that money correctly. Also when SAF was managing in Scotland he managed the first team other than Rangers or Celtic in the last 15 years(at the time) to a title. Also the fact that Moyes had the same team that SAF won the title with the year before says a lot as well, considering it was a declining team, and relatively average one as well.

Absolutely, Fergie is actually kind of lucky he didn't get fired at the beginning of his United career. And yeah what he did at Aberdeen was incredible no doubt.

Too bad you weren't around back then. You might have even liked him when he was leading a diddy club to greatness.

I don't consider myself qualified enough to answer the question by OP.

I think another interesting topic would be... who's the WORST manager all time :naughty:
