Wenger being above Benitez is a joke too. As is Zidane being so high
Where is Bill Nicholson? In the next 50 presumably 🤔
Paisley at 26 is the biggest joke
"They say the criteria is trophies won, influence on the game, their personality and how it has influenced managers who have followed."
Only one of those things is measurable though. Just looks like someone's opinion more than anything. Bit of a strange list.
Paisley won 19 trophies in 9 seasons...
It's done by France Football, what do they know about Football?
These lists are always terrible
Pep being above the likes of Shankley, Paisley, Ancelotti, Cappello, Clough, Stein etc is a joke
Yes he is a great joke but come on. Without money the bloke is not that great. He plays some fantastic football but has he built a proper side yet without spending the most money in world football. He literally has been gifted everything in management. That is not to say he is an excellent coach because he is but he shouldn’t be mentioned alongside never mind above them just yet
Have to say it’s not getting a lot of love online either, some think it’s baiting fans. Fergie has to be number one for me.

No bias there I’m sure
Haha I’ve just seen Bielsa is at 48 no sign of Don Revie though.
Who would you have as number one, Randy?
Zidane is a little high
Scotland know how to make managers don't they
Don't know enough about foreign managers to have a strong opinion on them. You can't rank the likes of Fergie, Shankley, Stein, Paisley, Busby, Clough and Revie against each other though, they're all legends.
Michels did have a lot of influence on others, including van Gaal, Cruyff and Pep
How is Zidane above the likes of Paisley and Simeone?
They need reminding that he had Ronaldo on his team helping him win those 3 consecutive CL trophies.
Where the reck is Big Ron?
Frank Rijkaard at 45 surprised me the most.

Was only joking. I would probably put Ferguson number one myself due to the insane longevity of high level success.
I would say there’s too much of gap between Pep and Jose, their overall careers are pretty even IMO.
Jose Mourinho got marked down because of the criteria that involved personality.
Michels changed the way football was played. Revolutionary. Total football. People are still in awe today of that style. And the likes of Cruyff and Pep improved it further.
The rest are followers.
How on earth is Klopp on there?

Nonsense. His influence is great but to suggest the rest are simply followers is absolute tripe.
