The 50 greatest managers of all time

The managers who missed out and why

Carlo Ancelotti

The reason not enough domestic success to complement his formidable continental record

 

George Ramsey

The reason the formative era in which he excelled meant the competitions he won weren’t weighted sufficiently

 

Walter Smith

The reason no continental success to complement his supreme trophy record at Rangers

 

Leo Beenhakker

The reason a lot of good jobs but not enough trophies to go with them.

 

Fernando Daucik

The reason in a long career, was only truly brilliant for a brief period in the ’50s.

 

Mircea Lucescu

The reason his biggest successes were offset by the amount of money spent on them.

 

Bill Nicholson

The reason only created one truly great team.

 

Alf Ramsey

The reason with a title and a World Cup won two of the most valued trophies. Unfortunately, they were his only two.

 

William Struth

The reason despite winning more domestic titles than any other manager, there are strong doubts about how much influence he actually had

 

Cesar Luis Menotti

The reason the dubious 1978 World Cup win was actually in the middle of a relatively modest career.

 

Robert Herbin

The reason a victory in the 1976 European Cup final would have put Herbin into the list.

 

Tele Santana

The reason a victory in the 1982 World Cup to go with his 1992 Copa Libertadores would have been enough.

 

Willie Maley

The reason the formative era in which he excelled meant the competitions he won weren’t weighted sufficiently.

 

Otto Gloria

The reason built well on Bela Guttmann’s work at Benfica but never took them to the same heights.
