TrueOwl Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 1. Diego Alonso (Pachuca) “When you grow up and spend your childhood between Brazil and Argentina, two of the biggest football powers, you learn that if you want to excel, you have to leave everything on the field,” Diego Alonso said in a recent interview with El Econimista. “I was an average player but thanks to my attitude, I made to the biggest leagues. We are like this in Uruguay.” The former Atletico Madrid and Valencia striker has left the field but he’s still dreaming high – and excelling too. He won the Torneo Clausura in 2016 and Concachampions (or the CONCACAF Champions League) in April with Pachuca, and will now take the Mexican side to the Club World Cup against Real Madrid & Co. in December. Alonso has built a talented side over the last seasons with the region’s best centre-back (Oscar Murillo), a potential Manchester City signing (Hirving Lozano), a creative Mexio international (Erick Gutierrez) and two impressive attacking alternatives (Jonathan Urretaviscaya and Franco Jara).

Kurban Berdyev (Rubin Kazan) Berdyev's ability to turn ordinary players into classy performers is incredible. It’s difficult to find a coach of such tactical brilliance, but the 64-year-old Turkmenian seems to have a Midas touch. He built Rubin Kazan from scratch, led the previously anonymous club to two Russian championship titles in a row in 2008 and 2009 – and achieved success in the Champions League too, beating Barcelona at the Camp Nou. Berdyev's miracle job with Rostov in recent years has been even more sensational. He took over in December 2014 with the club in total disarray and on the way to relegation. Berdyev saved them and turned a bunch of little-known underperformers who went unpaid for long months into title contenders, although they narrowly missed out on lifting the trophy in the end. Rostov made headlines in Europe too last term, beating the likes of Anderlecht, Ajax and Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Berdyev returned to Rubin this summer – and you should expect them to excel again under his guidance.

Being called the Uruguayan Pep Guardiola, as newspaper Marca labelled Guillermo Almada, brings an extra pressure. But it’s safe to say that the 47-year-old has coped well with it, since he guided the Ecuadorian Barcelona to one of their best campaigns ever, winning the league title while breaking records for the most points in a season, longest unbeaten run and most goals scored. At the same time, he prevented local rivals Emelec from securing their fourth local title in a row. It’s no surprise that he’s been earmarked as the man to succeed Oscar Tabarez as the next coach of the Uruguay national team. “He had the chance to coach [Uruguayan] River Plate and accomplished a lot with very few resources – it was a pleasure to watch his training sessions and the way he worked tactically with the players,” former River president Alvaro Silva said. “Tabarez has still got some time ahead of him, but I’m sure that when the day comes Guille will be a very good alternative.” Read more at https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/fourfourtwos-50-best-football-managers-world-2017-45-41#OI1Me7t7pqC8OAwO.99 5. Christian Streich (Freiburg) Freiburg are known for their patience with coaches – after all, Volker Finke was the longest-serving coach in Germany between between 1991 and 2007. That’s why the club were happy to keep faith in Streich when the team were rather unluckily relegated in 2015. The decision proved to be a stroke of genius, as the coach led his team to immediate promotion and then Europa League qualification last season. Streich is the most local coach imaginable. Born in the Black Forest, he spent 16 years as youth coach at Freiburg, and then served four more seasons as an assistant. His speciality is helping young players to develop their potential. The likes of Maximilian Philipp, sold to Borussia Dortmund this summer, and Vincenzo Grifo, who moved on to Borussia Monchengladbach, are great examples of Streich's work. The coach is also famous for his outspoken political messages for peace, tolerance and integration, and his press conferences are never boring. Oh, and he's famous for cycling to Freiburg's home games.

osowl Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Forget the hoofball managers. Carlos was right about maintaining possession, he just went awry with the balance of the team. I hope we get another continental guy, someone who can build on what's been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 In order, right now; Fonseca Laudrup Dean Smith Karanka Megson Ok - if we can get Fonseca, brilliant. I would love Bilic, but it’s unrealistic and that’s why I didnt put him down. I think we will get Karanka as he fits the profile for Chansiri, however he is very negative. He has got Boro promoted from the Champ tho. I would also like Dean Smith - he plays brilliant football but he is managing Brentford. We are Wednesday and we are a giant of English Football. Different kettle of fish and he would have to manage some egos. 5% of me would love Megson to come back but the days of taking the players to the top of the kop and going for a run around Greno woods carrying tyres with a bit of dogging after have gone. He is Wednesday through and through but he wouldn’t get the best out of these players. It needs a foreign manager with some flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgeback owl Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Are people really thinking Megson ???.... Pearson ????... Really ??? as much as CC's reign has come to an end there were plenty of fans questioning his appointment at the time and I would sooner see us look "outside the box" than the dross being spouted on here.
