The best football coaches in the world

Ottmar Hitzfeld (Germany)

I know this is a bit of an unusual choice, but I wanted to choose one particular coach from German football history. I decided to go with this specialist. Borussia Dortmund, made in the mid-90s, is a five-time DFB-Pokal winner and two-time Champions League winner. It won the 1997 Champions League Final match against the Italian Juventus. In his career, he was also with Bayern Munich where they won 5 titles and when they won the Champions League in 2001, Valencia was defeated.

Helenio Herrera (Argentina, France)

“Magician”. Catenaccio is an Italian defensive scheme that typically involves a defensive midfielder dropping deep to protect the defense. Its strategic advantage is its strength against attacking-based teams with multiple rapid and counterattacks, as well as opposition that commits more players for attack than defense. One of the greatest football coaches in history. He has had success as the head coach of a couple of clubs and is returning to his past club Atletico Madrid from Spain. There, he will also be coaching international superstar Antoine Griezmann and later Barcelona. He was also assistant manager for Italian club Inter Milan and won them three Serie A trophies in his time there.

Josep Guardiola (Spain)

One of the top trainers of our time, Tiki-Taka invented his own style. Pep Guardiola has led “all his teams to perfection,” as he did with Manchester City, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. His teams score tons of trophies when they win, which was the case with all three clubs. With the Blue Garnet, in addition to two Champions Cups, he also won the 2009 and 2011 final against Ferguson’s United. Six trophies in one year is a record which has never been seen before. Gracia has been considered the strongest club in history since the beginning of the 21st century. And with Man City, Man City set a record number of points in the Premier League, won their first domestic treble (Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup). Bayern Munich experienced a busy 2018-19 season. Although it was difficult to keep up with top performers like Robert Lewandowski and Javi Martinez, Xabi Alonso succeeded in remaining at the top of the standings, sparking hope for German football as a whole.

Jose Mourinho (Portugal)

“Special”. At the beginning of the 21st century, a coach appeared in football, who loudly declared himself while coaching Porto, he returned the greatness to the club in the championship, and in Europe he returned them to the leading positions by winning two cups in a row in 2003, took the UEFA Cup, won the Champions League in 2004, however, his club was not considered a favorite of the tournaments. When Jose Mourinho first came to my country, he had to instill in Chelsea FC the mentality of winning. They had never won a title in fifty years, but they did it! And after successfully defending it, Jose began to consider himself “special”. After that, Inter won the Italian league, but not the Champions League–despite being coached by Mourinho. The team similarly made it through to the semifinals when it overcame Barcelona, which was coached by Guardiola at the time. Then, Real Madrid’s new CEO Jose Mourinho flew him in, coerced his way into the club, and turned them from a laughingstock to winning things. He stepped up their game to at least the semi-finals of the Champions League for many years before that. But gradually, Mourinho’s win percentage began to drop and people found reasons to fire him. Despite this, he won the title with Chelsea after they fired him. He’s the only football coach who influenced it the most and brought something new.

Brian Clough (England)

Derby County won consecutive English Premier League titles at the expense of Nottingham Forest. Born in England, he turned into a successful coach and eventually became the head coach of Derby County. The two clubs that our former president led were in dire straits when he took the reins, with them fighting for survival in the second league. Two clubs never having won the top division. He led the Rams from 1967-1973, during which he successfully brought them up to the first division and won the league title. He reached KECH semifinals too. He worked with the foresters from 1975 to 1993 and brought them to the first division. He also won the title with them, in 1979 against Malmo, as well as in 1980 against Hamburg. In 1979, Forest beat Barcelona, becoming the last British coach to win it two years in a row. The club also won the UEFA Super Cup that year. That kind of audacity is no longer achievable thanks to the huge changes in the world of football, where a mediocre club like Leicester have become heroes overnight. Nowadays no one will lead you on as a club from the second league and make it to the Premier League without extreme amounts of benefits being given.

Arrigo Sacchi (Italy)

Italian football relied on a very traditional, defensive style of play for a long time, but Carlo Ancelotti made some changes which helped them greatly. He introduced the high press and attacking style that was relatively new to their culture and it has worked wonders. He achieved the greatest result by winning two Scudettas, two KECs, and leading Italy to silver medals at the World Cup in 1994.

Ernest Happel (Austria)

before winning three consecutive Dutch Cups and becoming European Cup champions, Ajax coach Rinus Michels was a footballing legend in his home country of Austria. He helped Den Hag provide the first successful instance of total football and later coached a Dutch championship-winning team known as Feyennord. After coaching in Belgium and Germany, he also made an undeniable contribution to the development of football in these countries.

Valery Lobanovsky (USSR, Ukraine)

One of the best coaches of his time, who most of all influenced football in the USSR, and then Ukrainian football. Kiev “Dynamo” is his brainchild, won a bunch of trophies, among them two KOKs in 75th and 86th year, as well as the Uefa Super Cup in the same 75th, three times reached the semifinals of the main European Cup. In all lists of the best coaches since international football championship in 1954, he has been one of 10 still outstanding specialists. Coach Keegan was a genius who also provided great emotional support for his players.

Alex Ferguson (Scotland)

A key figure in the British football industry. Many people recognize Sir Alex Ferguson as one of the great coaches in football history, who has his name prominently etched into Man United and Aberdeen. He’s also one of the best coaches in both the Champions League and Europa League. He has had an amazing successful coaching career and can be listed under the top 10 coaches of all time. From 1986 to 2013, the Scottish specialist ruled the “red devils” and during this time won 38 trophies out of 49 in his career, among them 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League 1999 against Bayern, having issued a treble at that time, and 2008- go against Chelsea, could have done more, but could not beat Guardiola’s Barcelona. He has two Coaches of the Year, defeating Real Madrid in 1984, Di Stefano and leading Manchester United in 1991 with Barcelona Cruyff. He won in the 20th century, and continued to do so in the 21st century, with Manchester United winning their final major title. The fact he left football Fergie left the last word for himself by winning the last title in the history of Manchester United. Ben has raised twelve young players whom we call “Fergies Chicks.” They were part of the team that helped Fergie transform Houston in a successful way and are one of the reasons why he is so loved by them.

Rinus Michels (Holland)

The inventor of total football has had success with Ajax, Barcelona and the Netherlands. Only a single coach has led the Dutch national team to gold medals in the big tournaments of Euro 88. He is one of the best coaches we’ve seen in soccer who has given European football & helped it grow immensely.

Johan Cruyff (Holland)

He was the first example that a player can become a coach. At Ajax, he succeeded with his rigid training and speed-oriented soccer style. After Barcelona, he made a big impact and won the golden ball three times in a row. He also worked with these clubs as a coach, winning titles and European cups, and his main cup is the victory in 1992 in the Cup / Champions League with Barcelona. Dream Teams are retired football teams. They may not always be the most successful but they do provide an element of excitement to the game that can’t be found when players on one team play against each other. Polish athletic gymnast who helped develop and popularize football schools. He made a great contribution to modern football by laying the foundation for the game in Poland.
