![]() If Ferguson never had that group of players come through in the early 90's, it is possible that he would not have signed world class players on an ongoing basis as Manchester United would not have appealed to such players. It was thanks to the youth that came through that attracted other top players from around the world to Manchester United. I believe how good a manager is, all depends on what players he or she has.įor example, if Sir Alex Ferguson never had the players that come through the Manchester United ranks back in the early 1990's would he have been successful? No Guardiola? You're either bitter or just really really clueless. ![]() People think this is why Luis Enrique,current boss of Barca wins, but the same should also be said about Guardiola. To me he is a solid manager that has the best players and teams to work with, and this is the reason why he wins trophies. City will be a bit more of a test, but he'll still have massive resources to play with.įinally, someone agrees with me that Guardiola needs to prove at a smaller club.Įxpected to win champions league at Bayern due to him being called the best manager but he failed. He's always had the best players to work with, but his time at Bayern was a failure imo. If it had gone on any longer, more people would have started questioning him. Then, just as Jupp Heynkes makes a better Bayern side, and wins the CL, look who takes over: Guardiola! Yet, in 3 years, he couldn't even get them to a CL final. ![]() He took charge at Barca just as Messi was reaching his peak. Guardiola needs to prove himself at a lesser club. Him and Conte are close to being in this list.Īlex Ferguson is long retired, which is why he isn't on here. ![]() Claudio Ranieni has an honorable mention now. Ancelotti has been consistently better imo, and has 3 CL wins. I moved Mourinho to #2 after his disappointing season at Chelsea and put Ancelotti at #1. I removed Ottmar Hitzfeld who retired a couple of years ago and doesn't look like coming back. Now I've finally updated it, Simeone is at #5. I've wanted to put Diego Simeone in this list for some time. Thomas Swan (author) from New Zealand on August 20, 2016: He is the only manager in history to have won the UEFA Europa League, UEFA Super Cup, UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup.īenitez is way underrated and Guardiola is way overrated, still a great list. These players are primarily English hence improving the outlook of the future for the National squad.ģ) Benitez has won a trophy at every club he has been at. The gap for competitiveness has shrunk using this methodology, fringe players are sharper and generally reserve football levels have improved giving more chances to develop younger players. The results are players becoming later bloomers. Since 2005 when he stated this, English football has built up to a high standard of competitive reserve leagues. Therefore reserve players and young players would be the most affected, most of those players were English. He explained why the National team could not win anything as the gap in competition between first team and reserves was massive. Benitez argued it ensures his top players were at optimum levels for big games.Ģ) When questioned about the English game Benitez stated the level of the reserve leagues were shocking. He is often overlooked for his pragmatic approach and his anti-social character, but along with Wenger changed the Premier league.ġ) When Benitez was appointed at Liverpool he was laughed at because he used to rotate his squad, now every premier league team does it. Honours speak for themselves but he has practically overachieved at every club he has been at. On a separate matter, I would consider the inclusion of Rafa Benetiz. Another proof for him to be considered highly overrated both Rijkaard and Luis Enrique won Champions league titles either side of Guardiola's reign, showing how any team with Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi at their peaks is unstoppable. All that he added was the high press which Del Bosque was implementing with the Spanish squad. Secondary do all football pundits and fans have short-term memory loss, a gentle reminder:Īt Barcelona Guardiola "took" Rijkaard's formation and tactics. Great list, I completely agree with the decision to exclude Guardiola.įirstly anyone wins the league with Bayern Munich.
