The 7 Greatest Managerial Coups of All Time

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-23

[00:00:00]The best managers tend to land the biggest jobs. It's not exactly surprising. A frequent criticism of Pep Guardiola is that he's only managed great teams with great players and enormous resources. To which the most frequent response is that all of the best teams want to hire him because he is the best and the most successful manager in the game. It's all very tedious. Sorry, I think I've started to get a bit jaded by online discourse since turning 30. Soon I will be sharing AI slop videos and posts about missing dogs in Birmingham, Alabama to my friends in East Yorkshire on Facebook and my uncur will be complete. There are ongoing rumors that Pep could leave Man City this summer with Italy reported to be interested in handing the Catalan the keys to the Azoui's crumbling castle, which would be a major coup for a national team that has now failed to qualify for three successive World Cups and hasn't played a knockout game at the World Cup since they won it 20 years ago. It wouldn't be quite enough of a coup to make this seven. Italy are still four-time World Cup winners, but a significant one nonetheless. If Guardiola were to take the reigns of, let's just say, Crew Alexandra following an 11th place finish in League 2 this season, then that would be enough of a coup to feature. It might even take top spots. There is absolutely no suggestion, as far as I'm aware, that Pep is interested in the crew job or even the crew have approached him. A shocking lack of ambition on the part of the railmen there, it must be said. But I am just giving you some idea as to the types of appointments that this video is all about. Realworld examples that have actually happened which some people prefer include Carlo Angelotti a manager who has won two more Champions League titles than any other coach in the history of the sport. Joining an Everton team who were 15th at the time midway through the 201920 season. Marcelo Belsa one of the most respected and revered managers in the sport. dropping down to the championship with leads United in 2018. And in a somewhat similar vein, Rafa Bonitz joining a Newcastle United team who were mired deep in the relegation zone less than 10 games from the end of the 2015 16 season, having most recently managed Real Madrid. I'm not interested so much in managers who took massive paydays in China, West Asia, or the North American Soccer League back in the 70s and 80s because I think that is something quite different.

[00:02:36]Nor are we concerned with incredibly high-profile managers taking seemingly modest roles, but only after their stock has fallen. Jose Mourinho joining Federachce in 2010 immediately after winning a historic treble with Inter Milan would have been an orinspiring coup but after getting sacked by both Tottenham and Roma I mean it was still surprising but not quite so much.

[00:03:02]Spvenar and Erikson joining Leicester City in the championship likewise would have been a staggering coup had it come in the immediate aftermath of his league and Cup double at Lazio in 2000. But following stints at a then mid-table Man City with the Mexico and then the Ivory Coast national teams, it didn't quite carry the same gravitas. No, we're interested in managerial appointments that were genuinely shocking at the time. Not like that. And which are as analogous as possible to Pep joining Crew Alexander this summer, which I can only repeat there is no suggestion that he's going to do. This channel is not in any way, shape, or form in the no.

[00:03:44]Crucially, they don't have to have turned out to have been brilliant appointments. Quite the opposite in some cases, as you're about to see. They just have to have been incredibly surprising and impressive at the time. Thank you to at the Diamond Cutter 101, who suggested this video twice, 7 months apart. Your second application has been accepted.

[00:04:06]Right, you get the idea. There will be some more honorable mentions later on, but without further ado, who hasn't yet coached within the senior game, but will be an incredible coup for whoever or whomever lands the American prince. Here are seven of the biggest managerial coups of all time.

[00:04:25]Seventh, Giovani Traponi, Calgary.

[00:04:30]Maybe the biggest managerial coup of all time was the unofficial Vatican City national team managing to convince Giovani Trapaton to coach them for a single game against Italy's financial police in 2010. They say that when some teams come calling, you don't say no.

[00:04:47]But when the Pope comes calling and you are a practicing Roman Catholic, you really don't say no. That wasn't a paid or a regular job, though. It was just a one-off match. And by 2010, with all due respect to the then 71 and now 87 year old, Trepaton was already washed. I am being crude for comic effect there, but he was past the peak of his powers midway through a 5-year stint in charge of Ireland's national team at the time.

[00:05:15]When Trafford joined Caluri in 1995, by contrast, he was among the most highly regarded managers in the world, and he hadn't been asked by the Pope. Crucially age 56 at the time, Trapaton had enjoyed a hugely successful 10-year stint in charge of Juventus between 1976 and 1986 in which he won six Syria titles and the European Cup in 1985 among seven other trophies. He subsequently spent 5 years managing Inter Milan, three back at Juventus and a single season in charge of Bayern Munich. Although Trapaton enjoyed a challenging campaign in Bavaria in which Bayern finished sixth, he made it through to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League where Bayern only lost to eventual winners Ajax and he left the club of his own valition following complaints about his inability to speak German. He wasn't actually sacked by Bayern themselves. Returning to Italy, one might have thought that Serie's elite would have been queuing up to appoint the legendary coach, but Marello Lippy and Fabio Capella's jobs at two of Trapaton's former clubs, Juventus and AC Milan were incredibly secure. And Inter Milan was sticking with Atario Biance despite finishing in sixth place. With Trapper Tony set on an immediate return to Italy though, ambitious Calerie owner Masimo Chelino sensed an opportunity. Calgary had been in Syria sea as recently as the late 1980s, but they returned to Serat in 1990 where they had finished 14th, 13th, 6th, 12th, and most recently of all, ninth in their five seasons back in the division. As a seventime title winner with six European trophies under his belt, Trapaton ought to have been well beyond Calgary's modest reach. But Chelinino sold him a dream of an upwardly mobile club with a big budget, life in Sardinia, and the opportunity to further elevate his reputation by winning things with a club that hadn't already done it. Calgary have won the Syria title once in 1970, but never the copper Italia or anything in Europe. It was a stunning managerial coup, but it would all end in tears. Trapetoni was sacked after just 7 months in charge following a 4-1 defeat against his former club Juventus which left Calgary lingering 13th in the Syria table just three points above the drop. It would be like Pep joining Crystal Palace in the summer not quite crew and getting sacked after 7 months. Trapaton subsequently had a second stab at life in the Bundesliga enjoying a much more successful two-year stint at Bayern Munich in which he won both the Bundesliga and the DFB Pocal followed by stints with Florentina Italy's national team, Benfica Stutgart, Red Bull Saltsburg which was also a pretty impressive coup despite Trapaton stock having fallen a little by then. The Republic of Ireland and of course that one game with the Vatican City national team. Calgary meanwhile survived that season but were relegated in 1998 and they find themselves two places above the drop in Sriair just as they were when they sacked Trapaton almost exactly 30 years ago at the time of this recording.

[00:08:36]Sixth Brian Kloff Brighton. You could be forgiven at this stage for thinking of Brighton as a fantastically well-run Premier League club which consistently pushes for European qualification because that is exactly what they are right now. But when Brian Kloff and Peter Taylor set sail for the South Coast, the Seagulls had recently been relegated to the old third division.

[00:08:59]They were 19th in the table, only two places above the relegation zone, and they had literally never played top flight football before. Brian Kloff and his trusted assistant Peter Taylor by contrast were coming off the back of over six years and more than 300 matches in charge of Derby County where they had utterly transformed the Rams from second division relegation candidates into first division title winners and European Cup semi-finalists.

[00:09:26]Kloff and Taylor had only been out of work for two weeks when their approach by Brighton with their stop within the game following a controversial accident at Derby remaining skyhigh. Just 9 months after managing Derby in a European Cup semi-final against Juventus, Kloff and Taylor found themselves managing Brighton in a 4-nil defeat against non-league Walton and Hersam in the FA Cup in one of their earliest games in charge. Once again, most of the heavy lifting in this extraordinary managerial coup was done by a wildly ambitious chairman. Mike Bambber, a musician turned property developer, had become Brighton's co-chairman in 1972, and he invested significant resources into the club.

[00:10:09]Kloff and Taylor, meanwhile, having scaled such extraordinary heights at Derby, weren't afraid of a challenge and back themselves to orchestrate a similar rise on the South Coast. This was an even more extraordinary coup than Trapaton's move to Calgary, but it would prove similarly unsuccessful. Brighton finished the season in 19th, the same position they had been in when Kluff and Taylor arrived. And over the summer, Kuffy broke his contract to replace his longtime rival Don Revy or Revi, who Kluff had been so critical of previously at First Vision title winning Leads United. Peter Taylor refused to follow him, remaining loyal to Brighton and replacing Kluff as the club's head coach. But neither Kluff nor Taylor were able to replicate their joint successes on their own. Brighton finished 19th again and fourth in their two seasons under Taylor, failing to win promotion.

[00:11:01]Meanwhile, Kloff lasted just eight disastrous games in charge of Ellen Road before joining Derby's great rivals Nottingham Forest. Mike Bambber would eventually taste success at Brighton, winning promotion to the first division for the first time in 1979 just under Alan Molly. Meanwhile, Kloff and Taylor were finally reunited in the summer of 1976 and over the next 6 years they won promotion from the second division, the first division title and then back-to-back European cups.

[00:11:33]Pretty good going. Fifth, Helenio Herrera, Roma. One of the greatest managers of all time, Helenio Herrera won four La Liga titles with Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, three Syria titles with Inter Milan, and much like Brian Kloff, back-to-back European Cups, also during his time at Intera in 1964 and 1965.

[00:11:57]Following his immensely successful eight seasons at the Sansero, Herrera, who was born in Buenoseras to immigrant parents from Spain, briefly took charge of Italy's national team and uh seemingly found part-time work as a Dracula impersonator. Herrera won three out of his four games in charge of the Italian Football Federation's technical committee, securing qualifications at Euro68.

[00:12:21]At the time, Herrera was the most highly regarded manager in all of Europe, held an even higher esteem than fellow European Cup winners like Matt Busby and Joeen. Theoretically, he ought to have had the pick of any club on the continent. And yet, he chose to join Roma. Now, some of you may be thinking, "Roma are a pretty big club, Alfie. They are the joint most successful team in Italy, tied with their rivals, Latio on 16 trophies." and you would of course be absolutely spoton. Uh, excellent information recall on the spot there. It must be said from all of you. Uh, hats off for your knowledge of the Italian game. I'm impressed. But in 1968, Roma had just finished joint 10th in Sri for a second successive season, only three places and five points above the relegation zone. Roma were far closer to dropping out of Italy's top flight at the time than they were to winning it.

[00:13:17]They hadn't finished higher than eighth in a 16 team league in any of the last five seasons. And far from being Italy's joint fourth most successful club, as they are now, albeit still miles behind the country's big three, Roma had only ever won one major trophy at the time, a lone copper Italia, or two if you include the Intercity Spa Cup. Roma reportedly made Herrera the highest paid coach in world football though with a salary of between 140 to 150,000 a year which was a staggering amount of money in the late 1960s uh which no doubt helped smooth negotiations out as well as offering him near total control in terms of how the club was run. It was an attractive proposition for Herrera who ruled with an iron fist, but it was still remarkable to see the equivalent roughly speaking of Pep taking over at Florentina this summer. Herrera was only able to modestly improve Roma's fortunes in Serat over the next three years in which the club finished eighth, 11th, and sixth, but he did mastermind only Roma's second conquest of the Copper Italia in 1969 in addition to reaching the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners Cup just the following season. Herrera never held down another long-term role, having brief stints at Inter Milan, Ramini, and Barcelona over the next 10 years.

[00:14:39]Meanwhile, Roma's golden age finally arrived in the early 1980s when they won the copper Italia four times in seven seasons, played in a European Cup final, and won their first Gueretto.

[00:14:51]All that ends well. Fourth, Louis Vanal, Azette. If you wanted to downplay the historic coup credentials of Louis Vanal's move to Azette, you might point out that the club led the air of his a table when Vanal agreed to take the job.

[00:15:06]His reputation had been somewhat tarnished during his second stint at Barcelona. He had been out of first team management for two and a half years and they were his former club. Vanal agreed to replace colorful Portobound head coach Co Adriens at the end of the 200405 season in January of 2005 at which point Azette were top of the league tied on points and goal difference with PSV but above them by virtue of goals scored. Vanal meanwhile had lasted less than seven months in his return to Catalania owing to a run of five games without a win and three successive defeats which left Barca languishing in 13th place in the La Liga table when he was sacked. The experience was so bruising that Vanal temporarily retreated from management, briefly serving as a technical director at his former club Ajax, but he resigned from that role after less than 12 months owing to a fallout with AX's head coach Ronald Khman. If you wanted to try and upsell Vanguard to Arzett's Credentials, meanwhile, you might point out that despite leading the eriz table, Arzette still weren't remotely fancy to win it, having finished fifth 23 points off the title. The previous season they had only ever won one eriz title back in 1981.

[00:16:24]They are only the sixth most successful club in Dutch football with seven trophies across all competitions. Three of which actually arrived post Vangal and Azett's average attendance at the time despite being better than they had been for decades was the fifth lowest in the era devis at barely 8,000. Both sales pictures provide valuable context, but the latter is far more compelling.

[00:16:49]After all, whatever happened during Vangal's failed return to the camp now, he was still the manager who won three out of his eight titles with Ajax, won the UEFA Cup, and reached back-to-back Champions League finals, winning one against Capello's AC Milan, and losing the other on penalties against Lippy's Juventus before winning back-to-back La Liga titles and a Copa del Rey during his first stint at Barca. Following the craziness of the camp now and all of the politics and circus which surrounds a super club like Barcelona, the idea of getting back to the fundamentals and basics of coaching a close-knit squad in a controlled environment at Arzette seemed to appeal to Vanal. The season before he arrived, Arzette had indeed fallen from first when he agreed to take the job to third by the end of the campaign, a massive 23 points behind title winning PSV following a late stage collapse. But in Vanal's debut campaign, the club climbed to second above Ajax and Feyenord, coming within 10 points of top spot. It was Azett's highest league finish since winning the league at the start of the 1980s. And they finished third in the 200607 season. This time coming within three points of top spot.

[00:18:01]Following a bitterly disappointing 200708 season in which Arzette finished 11th, Vanal announced that he would be leaving the club before being persuaded to reverse his decision by his own players. The following season, Arzette won the Eervis title, becoming the first club outside of the big three to be crowned as Dutch champions since they themselves had done it almost 30 years earlier, winning the league by an emphatic 11 points during a crazy season in which FA20 finished second and Feyenoord all the way down in seventh.

[00:18:35]Vanal successfully restored his reputation as one of the best managers in the game and in the summer of 2009 he joined Bayern Munich. A Bundesliga title and a Champions League final followed before two spells in charge of the Dutch national team either side of an eventful couple of years at Manchester United where he won the FA Cup. Az meanwhile who are often erroneously referred to as AZ Alkmar in English which doesn't actually make sense because the A in AZ stands for Alkar therefore AZ Alkar means Alkar Zanstri Alkar in case you were wondering sadly haven't won an Eervis title since Vanal departed though they have won two KNVB cups including this season's just a couple of weeks ago as well as consistently competing in Europe Third, Otto Rahagle, Greece. A fantastic manager with undoubtedly one of my 15 favorite German names, Otto Rayhogle is one of only two men to have participated in over 1,000 Bundesliga matches between his playing and managerial careers combined. The other is Yapankas, who was also, it must be said, both a very good manager with a very strong German name.

[00:19:52]Not quite as good as Otto Rayharle, but not bad at all. Ray Hargle won the DFB Pocal with Fortuna Dustelled off in 1980 before spending an extraordinary 14-year stint with Vera Braman in which he won two Bundesliga titles, two DFB Pokeals, and the European Cup Winners Cup. In 1996, Ray Hargle joined FC Kaiser Sloutton in a pretty remarkable managerial coup. Seeing as though the club had just been relegated from the Bundesliga, Ray Hargle won promotion from the second Bundesliga in his first season and a third Bundesliga title in his second, beating his former club Bayern Munich to the title by two points with a newly promoted club. In four seasons at the Fritz Walter Stadium, another excellent German name, it must be said, Ray Hogle never finished lower than fifth or failed to qualify for Europe. Ray Hoggle's stock could hardly have been any higher. Therefore, at the turn of the millennium in 1998, he had been offered the German national team job, but turned it down along with rumored interest from Bayakusen, Barusia Dortmund, and Hera Balin. This was a man who liked an underdog and a challenge.

[00:21:04]But still, there was a fair amount of surprise when he accepted a job offer from the Greek FA to take charge of their national team in 2001. At the time of Ray Hogle's appointment, Greece were ranked 57th in the world below Angola, Iceland, and Honduras. Not only had Greece never won anything of note, they had only ever qualified for one World Cup in 1994, where they lost all three group games and finished bottom of their group, and they had failed to qualify for the Euro since 1980. Qualification for Euro 2004 ahead of Spain and Ukraine was therefore considered a heroic achievement. But Ray Hogle had far greater tricks up his sleeve than that.

[00:21:47]Drawn in a group against Russia, Spain, and Portugal, Greece beat the host in the tournament's opening game before drawing with Spain. They progressed as group A runners up before beating the tournament holders and favorites France 1-0il in the quarterfinals, an exceptional Czech Republic team 1- nil after extra time via a golden goal in the semis. And the tournament ended exactly as it began with Greece facing the house in the final. And yet again, they emerged victorious. Ray Hoggle's deep and compact 451 proved to be practically impenetrable, repeatedly frustrating some of the best teams and players in Europe. Throughout Euro 2004, Greece faced forwards and midfielders like Luis Figo, Rui Costa, Deco, Cristiano Ronaldo, Raul, Fernando Morientes, Fernando Torres, Robert Perez, Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Enri, David Trezig, Thomas Rositzki, Paval Medv, Yanala, and then all of the Portuguese boys for a second time. And yet they conceded just four goals throughout the entire tournament. half of those against Russia and they didn't concede throughout the entire knockout stages. There is a case to be made by virtue of the sheer number of underdog success stories over such an extended period of time. The Roto Rahle is one of the greatest managers of all time and winning Euro 2004 with Greece is undoubtedly his crowning achievement. In a list featuring several managerial coups which backfired, this one could hardly have gone any better. Ray Harogle turned down the Germany job for a second time following Euro 2004 and he went on to qualify with Greece for both Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup.

[00:23:34]Second, George Raina, Skgnest Town. By any reasonable metric, if not the greatest managerial coup, then George Raina's appointment at Skgnest Town has to be the greatest managerial comedown of all time. The first Englishman to manage a team in a World Cup final, Raina had an unremarkable playing career with the likes of Rotherham United and Barry. But he became a managerial icon in Sweden. When Raina was appointed by Sweden's national team at the end of the Second World War, his only coaching experience up to that point had come with an Iraqi representative team, an olderot town's reserves. Nonetheless, he inherited something of a golden generation in Sweden whose front three, Gouna Gran, Ga Nordal, and Nils Leholm, known collectively as Grenle, were all or at the very least would go on to become among the finest players in Europe. At the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, Raina led Sweden to Olympic gold, followed by an arguably even more impressive third place finish at the 1950 World Cup in Brazil following victories against both Italy and Spain in which Sweden were the highest ranked European team. Following a bronze medal at the 1952 Olympics, Raina left Sweden and briefly managed both Latio and Coventry City. He returned to Sweden in 1956 ahead of the country hosting the 1958 World Cup when the Swedish FA finally lifted the ban on professional and overseas players representing the national team which had up to that point stripped Sweden of their Grenoli trio who had all joined Sera Giants along with their youngstar winger Kurt Hamron.

[00:25:16]Unfortunately, by 1958, Leholm was 35, Gren was 37, and Nordal, arguably the greatest Swedish player of them all, had just retired. Raina still masterminded a run to the World Cup final, beating the Soviet Union 2-0il in the quarterfinals and the reigning World Cup winners West Germany 3-1 in the semis before falling to a 5-2 defeat against a 17-year-old Pelle inspired Brazil in the final in what was quite possibly the greatest international team of all time. Brazil that is not Sweden, though they were very good. Off the back of that extraordinary result, Raina hoped that he could realize his dream of managing England. The three lines have been knocked out of the 1958 World Cup in the group stages, but it quickly became apparent that Raina's success in Sweden wasn't held in much regard by either the FA or English clubs. Not only was Raina unable to land the England job, which Walter Winterbottom, another strong, albeit not German name, retained until 1962, he couldn't even land a job with any of the football league's 92 clubs.

[00:26:24]One month after facing Pelle and Brazil in a World Cup final, therefore, Raina found himself earning £10 a week to manage semi-professional Skgest Town of the Midland League. Raina left Skgnestown in 1960 when the Midland League folded due to financial trouble and Skgnes went a season without playing any league football at all. He returned to Sweden with Jurgedan later that year and briefly managed Sweden's national team again before a second short stab at management in England concluded after a single season spent with Doncaster in the old fourth division. Skeg Nest Town meanwhile in many ways the Sanrope of the British alles now compete in the GCE Higher Fleet United counties Football League Premier Division North in the 10th tier of English football where they just finished 11th and they play their home games at the MKM Stadium which is the same name incidentally as Hull City Stadium. It was a close call but an extremely late Whole City reference has saved the day.

[00:27:27]Hello. I am here to earnestly recommend subscribing to the Alfie Pots Armor YouTube channel. All the cool kids are doing it. Over 60,000 of them. And my latest video on the new and permanent home of all of my long- form video essays and documentaries has just dropped. Some are saying that it's the best yet. I couldn't possibly comment, of course. Personally, I liked my FC Einhovven video and my trip to the Basque Derby best, but uh that might be because I enjoyed my night out in Einhovven and consuming copious amounts of pintosh around San Sebastian. I am biased is what I'm saying. You will just have to watch them all immediately and pick your own favorites, then subscribe and become a channel member. It's the only reasonable course of action. Right, back to the video. First, Ernst Tarpel Hardleber George Raina and Ernst Tarpel are the only two foreigners to have guided a nation other than their own to a World Cup final. Good bit of trivia for you all there. And they feature in first and second in this seven. Harpel is undeniably one of the greatest managers to have ever lived. not only taking the Netherlands to the 1978 World Cup final where controversy surrounded their defeat in the final against the hosts Argentina but winning the European Cup with Feyenoord reaching a final with clubber which they lost 1- nil against Liverpool at Wembley and making a third European Cup final with Hamburg in 1983 where his team beat Juventus 1 nil Giovani Trapaton Juventus incidentally harple that four was the first of seven managers to lift the European Cup with two different clubs clubs. A record which was later equaled by Carlo Angelotti, Upmar Hitzfeld, Jose Mourinho, Yapankas, Pep Guardiola and most recently Lewis Enrique. Whereas all of those managers recorded their European triumphs with either one or in some cases two repeated European champions like Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan and Bayern Munich. Harpel's two triumphs with Feyenord and Hamburg remain the only two triumphs in the European Cup or Champions League by the two teams that he managed. In fact, over 18% of all one-time European champions were led to their European conquest by Ernst Harpell and that stat would stand at an extraordinary 25% had he won his final with Club Burgger. Overall, it's not a bad record at all. In 1979, however, in the immediate aftermath of reaching a European Cup final with Club Burger and a World Cup final with the Netherlands, at which point Harpull's stock could scarcely have been any higher, he joined a club that most of you will never have heard of and one which no longer exists. KRC Harlba, later KRC Zudvest Blandin, had only reached the second tier of Belgian football for the first time in 1978, and they were rock bottom of the league midway through the season when Harple joined the club. In other words, then they had absolutely zero business employing one of the best managers in the history of the game right at the peak of his powers. The most common explanation cited is that Harpel wanted some time away from the bright lights of elite football and Harla wasn't far from his home in Burga. The reality is a little bit more complex. Harpel had reportedly signed a pre-contract deal with an American club at the height of the NASL spending boom when the likes of France Beckenbower and Johan Kfe had made moves to the United States. It apparently meant that Harpell was only available for work for 4 months at a time when that wasn't just the standard length of employment for a manager in football. On track, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, and Admir Vaka all supposedly expressed an interest even on those terms. But Harpell, keen to remain in Belgium, chose second tier struggles Harla. It was a surreal situation. Harl Becka's players supposedly sat in silence starruck when Harpell famously a man of few words delivered his first speech to his new players. Harlebecka survived and Harpell and went on to reach the top flight for the first time in 1995, but they were relegated in 2001. And in 2002, they merged with KSV Engel Muncher to form KRC Harlebecka who are currently a fourth tier team and the original club was dissolved. Harpel never moved to America. The NASL was rocked by player strikes in 1979 instead joining Standardly followed by Hamburg where he won two Bundesliga titles and his second European Cup. He was appointed as manager of the Austrian national team in 1992 but a lifelong chain smoker. He sadly died of lung cancer while still in post later that year. Austria's national stadium, the Ernst Tarpel Stadium, was named in his honor following his death. And so we end an otherwise fun and light-hearted video on a typically morbid note. I honestly don't know how we do it. Honorable mentions aside from those already mentioned during the intro include goose hitting move to Rail Bettis. As massive of a club as they are a bit like Anchelotti to Everton, it was a major coup at the time. Spven to not county albeit not directly as a head coach.

[00:32:56]Reus meals to Karna. Miguel Munyas to Granada, Bella Gupman to Sevet, Arson Wenger to Nagoya Grandate after winning a league on title at Monaco and Vicente del Bos to Bashiktach sandwiched between winning two Champions leagues with Real Madrid and both the Euros and the World Cup with Spain. I'd love to hear some of your suggestions, especially any in South America and in other parts of the world where uh I am sure that gaps in my knowledge and research allowed for some excellent examples to slip through the net. So, let us know those. Thank you all as ever for watching. Hit the like button if you enjoyed today's video. I uh obviously hope that was the case.
