Who's the best coach/manager?

[Duck Manson]

Are you kidding me? Hey, if I was Rehagel, all my resume would say is:
WON EURO 2004
:Dyou forgot to add...

:eek:

Sorry guys, that i started riots with remembering of Greece 2004.

But it really was a great sucess for a small team and its coach.
Like most of you i also prefer offensive football, but
Rehhagel hadn´t the players to play offensive football,
so he suited a system that suits them best and they had sucess.

That´s called tactics ;) and to "make the best out of
your player potential" is IMHO part of beeing a great coacj.

Rehhagel certainly provided very "offensive" football.....I was offended as was everyone else who cares about the game.

one wonders why you like england so much then given the shit on a stick they serve up every tournament (or at least the ones they qualify for).

England's inability to win penalty shootouts is what does them in, nothing else.

Jack Charlton - Legend , the man who qualified Ireland for their first major championships and into the bargain was quite hilarious.
His interviews were brilliant , he could'nt even remember his own player's names never mind the opposition's !

keep telling yourself that.

Sorry guys, that i started riots with remembering of Greece 2004. For many neutral fans it's always fun when the small teams win something. But as a football fan, what happened in those Euros was terrible. Football took a step back and alot of managers will sort to those kinds of destructive tactics because of it.

But I did miss England at the Euros. It's not the same without seeing all those fans of 'the best team in the world' in absolute shock as they go out. Again.

Yeh it's always funny to see their fans build themselves up, only for it to end in dissapointment yet again. What's even funnier is the excuses they come up with afterwards!

[alexgar]

Of course Fabio Capello is one of the best, but i think that rafa benitez is doing a great job at liverpool. i want to say that guus hiddink has donde wonderfuel things in all his national teams. I think that arrive to a semifinal with Russia is a very dificult thing, so I think he is the best coach.

Mourinho forged a career out of it.

Mourinho forged a career out of it.You're right but I'd rather watch Chelsea play then Greece. Atleast once in a while Mourinhos teams are a bit fun to watch.

He had a totally different class of players to work with.

[Duck Manson]

He had a totally different class of players to work with.Exactly. Gettin crap players play crap football isn't an achievement. That's been my point all along.

[Iaco]

I would say Gus Hiddink, Capello is also pretty good.

[Grinners89]

He had a totally different class of players to work with.

He also had a choice of which players he wanted...International football in some respects is much harder for the managers/coaches than club football. They also get much less time to prepare their players and instill their own ideas and tactics/systems.

Exactly, not only do you have a more limited set of players to pick from, but you only work with these players once every few months so it is hard to build team chemistry.

i agree. But generally those criteria are the same for all managers. And some win more than others with less talent. That, in my opinion makes them good at their professions.

Like Aussie Guus...he's done wonders with ordinary squads and some good squads. To achieve what he did with Sth Korea and Australia was amazing and he'll will probably keep doing it after he moves on from Russia.
