• RSS Poll: Greatest manager of the 21st century

    From Al Kamista@24:150/2 to rec.sport.soccer on Mon May 2 10:27:34 2022
    Following up on the Ancelotti thread, it would be interesting to see where we net out on who we perceive to be the best this millennium.

    Ground rules similar to the RSS Coach Sack competition. You get 10 weightage points which you can allocate to managers of your choice, with a limit of 3 points per manager (so people don't over-index on one manager and skew the results).

    For eligibility, a manager could have overlapped both millenniums, but with decent representation in the 21st (so for example, Sacchi only managed until 2001, so he would not make a lot of sense).

    One more thought - you can use whatever criteria makes most sense to you. So for example, going mainly by trophies, Ancelotti would be a good choice; going by influence on others, Bielsa might stand out; for punching above their $ weight, Klopp....and so on.
    My picks:
    Klopp 3
    Mourinho 2
    Guardiola 2
    Ferguson 2
    Conte 1

    Sorry but yet one more thought. Choices could be from anywhere in the world. So if Jesus wants to pick a local South American, or Mark wants to pick a domestic Cameroonian coach, all good!

    You made me realize that I completely overlooked Simone. As distasteful as his methods are, his results are undeniable. So my updated picks:
    Klopp 2.5
    Mourinho 2
    Guardiola 2
    Ferguson 2
    Conte 1
    Simone 0.5

    Are we restricting this to achievements with clubs, or are national team coaches fair game, even if they have done little (L||w) or a fair bit (Deschamps) at club level? Women's coaches ?

    I am half tempted to give some token credit to Herdman.

    Who do people think deserves consideration for the second half of the
    20th Century. Lots of possibles:

    Helenio Herrera
    Bela Guttman
    Rinus Michels
    Johan Cruyff
    Jock Stein
    Matt Busby
    Bill Shankly
    Bob Paisley

    Udo Lattek

    Hard to establish, because the influence of earlier coaches is harder to document, but may have been much bigger than we realize. Plus the rate
    of hiring, firing and mobility of coaches in the last 20-30 years is so different than it was in the 50s-60s-70s-80s that the criteria would not
    be comparable across eras.

    I would throw in here Trapattoni and Sacchi. Trapattoni because he won a lot, and with different teams. Sacchi had a very short peak, but hid ideas and style were transformative, and I put a lot of weight on that.

    Is there a deadline? I would kind of like to wait for the end of the
    season. If Liverpool win the league and a treble of some type, I will
    upgrade my mark for Klopp. Ditto Guardiola if he wins the league and
    the CL.

    Definitely. Titles in multiple countries, decent results with national
    team, and two European cups as well as more appearances in European finals.

    Tel|- was big.
    But we had a good number of great coaches. Zagallo is one of them.
    I'll leave here Rubens Minelli, |enio Andrade, Paulo C|-sar Carpegiani, early career Vanderlei Luxemburgo and, why not?, Scolari.
    On a next level there's Abel Braga, Muricy Ramalho and Tite, for instance.
    Tchau!

    So:

    For eligibility, a manager could have overlapped both millenniums,
    but with decent representation in the 21st (so for example, Sacchi
    only managed until 2001, so he would not make a lot of sense).

    I am half tempted to give some token credit to Herdman.

    How about making your picks?

    Is there a deadline? I would kind of like to wait for the end of the season. If Liverpool win the league and a treble of some type, I will upgrade my mark for Klopp. Ditto Guardiola if he wins the league and
    the CL.

    Well does not look likely for the former, and the latter is completely out.

    So:

    Klopp 2
    Guardiola 2
    Mourinho 2 (mostly for what he did with Porto and first two Chelsea years Deschamps 1 (respectable league management with clubs, and knows how to
    win, though I wish he were more adventurous with France. Man management good, also loyal to players that do the job)
    Ancelotti 1
    Ferguson 1 (mostly because his impressive accomplishments were more in
    the previous century)
    Herdman 0.5 (Has anyone else managed the transition from the women's
    game to the mens, and done so successfully?)
    Not exactly comparable, but Dominik Thalhammer after a nine-year tenure with the
    Austrian women's NT (biggest success: semifinals of Euro 2017) had a semi-successful
    domestic stint with LASK (decent in Europe, e.g. a 4-1 win over Sporting away to qualify
    for the EL, less convincing in the league), but from the beginning he had to contend with
    prejudice from a certain set of hardcore fans (the 'Damentrainer' label came out immediately
    whenever things didn't go well) and he got fired halfway through this season (not that that did
    LASK any good).
    He has since gone to Belgium and taken over at Cercle Brugge. When he arrived last December they were second from bottom, four points adrift, and they ended the season in comfortable 10th, seventeen points clear, and their best result in a decade.

    Yeah, Rudi. I perhaps attach too much significance to ANYONE who can
    coach an under-resourced team like Lille, that constantly has to sell
    its best players, to a championship in the face of competition from
    teams like PSG, Marseille and Lyon.

    A ten game winning streak to start his first season, and a second place
    finish in the league each of his first two seasons (including CL
    qualification for the first time quite a few years). winning percent
    above 50 %. Not too shabby.

    Got to QF with Lyon in CL by beating Juve.

    Seems to me there is "something" there.

    But I did leave out Conte, Laurent Blanc and other deserving people, del Bosque too, so my choices can certainly be regarded as whimsical at best.

    Can someone remind me of the name of the coach who won the Copa Sudamericana with Cienciano in 2003 please? And any information on anything else he achieved as a manager would be appreciated too.
    Also, am I right in thinking Otto Rehaggel was the coach of Greece when they won the European Championship in 2004? And also the coach of Kaiserslautern when they won the German Championship in 1998?

    Also the coach of Bremen when they won a bundesliga championship (in the
    80s I think, probably 88). But 2 out of 3 of his big accomplishments
    were before 2000. He also had many setbacks too.

    And am I also right in thinking Guus Hiddink was the coach of South Korea when they reached the World Cup semi-final in 2002?

    Yes, but most of his accomplishments (eg. with PSV) were in the previous millenium.
