In light of some constructive criticism, I am going to add a couple more names to the poll. Hopefully this will drive more people in, and increase some debate.

I don't know who's that Diego Simone but I voted for him

[Evilo]

Guardiola still.

Add Bielsa since hipsters are voted in

Went for an even 15, and tried to add in the most common names.

Looking forward to seeing what the next round of complaints will be about.

As I said I think the top 5 is clear, but after that it will get very interesting

 

[Evilo]

No problem for me, as I said in previous thread, I don't mind managers who are not top 10 in my mind being added, I just won't vote for them.
But I'm guessing you want names to be added, so I vote for Bielsa to be added.

That was my thinking as well. Always open to additions.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Simeone. Add tactical mastermind Tony Pulis.

Nah, add Sampaoli.

Edit: wtf you added so many. Add Tite I guess.

 

[les Habs]

Wow. Maybe drafting managers wasn't a bad idea considering these polls.

 

[Savant]

Yeah, I figured people won't vote for the "lower" ones anyway, but putting them on their placates the masses

 

[Savant]

There's always next year.

You still haven't mentioned who you are voting for or adding btw.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Still voting Simeone. Guardiola after.

I don't know who's that Diego Simone but I voted for him

3 of the names are misspelled actually! Savant is really living up to the American stereotypes here.

Next time coffee before posting. Who else did I mess up? I put to much time into alphabetizing and didn't pay enough attention.

Care to add anyone else?

 

[Luigi Habs]

I would add Bielsa

Sampioli and Deschampes.

You have appeased me with all the guys I want to vote for later in the top 10. You could probably add Emery though. He's not a fashionable choice after the year he just had, but he still did extremely well with Sevilla. Not many others have won 3 straight European trophies. I'd still take him over a few of the names on the list for sure.

Never really liked the idea.

I didn't vote in the other polls or add names there either. Not a bad idea, but the results coupled with the posting doesn't interest me right now.

 

[John Pedro]

Guardiola. Add Sampaoli (even Bielsa admits that Sampaoli is better than him).

Sampaoli is on, but I spelled his name wrong.

Any others?

 

[John Pedro]

Peter Bosz? his Ajax played wonderful football.

Done

Closed

 

[Evilo]

Still not sure what Conte has done to be better than Simeone and their styles are very comparable.

The people have spoken.

Conte is a bit more decorated, but it is definitely close.

 

[Evilo]

I'd say it's harder to win la Liga once with Atletico than 3 with Juve in Italy. And of course, european crashes for Conte, 2 CL finals and 1 EL win for Simeone.

I was undecided between Conte and Simeone and honestly picked Conte because I'm a Chelsea fan - would've been a coin flip otherwise, I think they're very similar. Chelsea's dominant title win last year (most wins in a single PL season) and Italy's unexpectedly strong Euro campaign without Verratti last year are feathers in Conte's cap that Simeone doesn't have.
