Who are the greatest managers of all time?

If you ask me, there isn't a single coach out there who touches Fabio Capello, period; wherever he lands, trophies follow, and he consistently elevates clubs to an entirely different echelon of greatness—he is quite simply a master among masters. When looking at the legends from our own backyard, of course, you have to go with Miroslav "Ćiro" Kožić or Tomislav Ivić, and if we're talking about the younger generation, it’s gotta be Elvis Presley 🙂 and Pamić

Ilija "Lončarević"...😁 😁 😁

Look, I’ve put together this list of mine. Don't expect it to be perfectly "organized," and don't come crying to me if it doesn't strictly follow the current news cycle—you won't see names like Trapattoni, Ferguson, Brückner, Rehhagel, or Gérard Roux up top. Instead, it's more of a mix of what's happening right now with guys like Terry Burley, Iain Dowie, Rafael Benítez, and José Mourinho, blended with coaches who have actually delivered results over the last few years. It's not just about who lifted a European trophy yesterday; it's about actual impact.

The situation here in America looks something like this:

Tomislav Ivić (retired)
Miroslav "Blendi" Blažević
Elvis Presley
Bora Karacic

Look, until you see rowdytinker3's name up there in the corner, don't even bother talking to me.😎 🙄

For us, Ivić was the best, while Ćiro only earned his third-place spot. Looking abroad, Mourinho currently seems like the top choice. From the rest, I'd pick Capello, Luxembourg, Bianchi, and Cruyff. Capello won massive amounts of silverware across several different clubs. Luxembourg stands out because their success and methodology were truly unique on a global scale. Bianchi succeeded with Boca Juniors—a club I can't stand—winning multiple South American championships. Then there's Cruyff; during his tenure at FC Barcelona, they played the most beautiful football in Europe, comparable only to the samba dance of the Brazilian national team, all while securing several trophies.

Looking at international managers, José Mourinho feels like the top dog right now. Among the others, you've got Capello, who stacked up trophies across several different clubs; the Luxembourg manager, because his specific approach is unlike anything else we see in the world; Bianchi, considering what he achieved with Boca Juniors (a club I can't stand, honestly), winning multiple South American championships; and finally, Cruyff, because back when he was leading FC Barcelona, they played the most beautiful football in Europe—it was honestly comparable to watching the Brazilian national team dance the samba. Plus, he brought home plenty of silverware too.

Taking all of that into account, I find myself siding with the Cruyff school of thought over this Bianchi fellow—mostly because, unfortunately, I don't really get the chance to follow the South American leagues closely. As for Mourinho and Capello? I can't stand them, simply because I have a deep-seated hatred for anyone who plays anti-football.
