Top Ten Football Managers by buntercos(m): 11:44pm On Jan 10, 2014
number 10...Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini is a great manager as he has really proven himself over the past couple of years with an impressive run with Spanish side Malaga with players such as Santi Cazorla, Julio Baptista, Ruud Van Nistelrooy & Naxto Monreal. When he moved to Manchester City from the La liga side some City fans were doubtful however he is currently 2nd in the league and are breathing down the necks of the current league leaders with a 1 point difference. City's attack has proven to be a force not to be reckoned with as they have scored 4 goals or more on 6 occasions this season and that's just in the league they beat West Ham 6-0 in the League cup final.

number 9...Antonio Conte is a brilliant manager on top form. Currently managing Juventus he is top of the league at the moment and he has already won 2 league titles with the club. As a player he has previously played for Juventus and he has been the manager of a number of Serie A sides which included Atalanta. He has also won the Serie B with Bari and the Supercoppia Italiana on 2 occasions with Juventus. This season have only lost 1 of their 18 league games played.

number 8...Laurent Blanc by far has the most successful footballing career of all the managers on this list playing for clubs such as Barca, Inter, Marseille & Manchester United and he has won the French league & the Premier League as a player. This doesn't put him in this spot of the list though it's his managerial record that also impresses as he is currently the manager of PSG and is topping the league only losing 1 league game. He has also won the Ligue 1 as a manger whilst at Bordeaux.

number 7...Joachim Low is the International manager of Germany and he is the man responsible for turning the national squad into an absolute fortress and possible turning them into one of the best 5 countries in the world in footballing terms. He took them to a win in the 3rd place play off against Portugal in the 2006 World Cup and he was runner up in the 2008 European Championship losing to Spain. He has yet to win anything with Germany however it's only a matter of time.

number 6...Jurgen Klopp has really proved himself as a manager. He finished runner up in the Champions League and has really built himself a squad creating it in the similar way to Arsene Wenger would. He essentially has taken players who have that spark and with the right training he has turned them into absolute stars. Despite all his efforts he will find it incredibly difficult winning anything at this time in his country as he is up against the most well put together squad in the world Bayern Munchen. However before this rise of chemistry from the Munich side he has previously won the Bundesliga on two separate occasions. Klopp trumped every other manager in Germany to the German football manager of the year twice in 2011 & 12.

number 5...Vicente Del Bosque is the Spanish international manager and will most certainly go into the record books for his accomplishments after winning the European Championship 2008 and the 2010 World Cup all with Spain. He has won the La Liga 7 times 5 as a player and 2 as a manager. Not only has he won the 2 biggest trophies you could possibly win as an International manager he has helped to turn Spain into the strongest International side in the World.

number 6...Carlo Ancelotti has had a bit of a different career to most on this list as he hasn't just been at 1 club mainly winning countless numbers of trophies. He has been all over with Juventus, Milan, Chelsea, PSG & currently Real Madrid. He has won the Seria A four times; one with AS Roma, two with Milan & one with Juventus. Whilst at Chelsea he won the 09/10 Premier League. and most recently he has won the 12/13 Ligue 1 with PSG however he is only in his first season with Real Madrid and will have a tough time ahead of him if he wants to finish above FC Barcelona in the league.

number 3...Arsene Wenger will be one too remember as he is responsible for the strongest Premier League side ever seen remaining unbeaten throughout a whole season and a fair amount the season after. He is the man responsible for turning young kids such as Cesc Fabregas, Thierry Henry, Samir Nasri, Emmanuel Adebayor, Gael Clichy, Ashley Cole and many other into absolute titans in the footballing world. Arsene Wengers side is currently top of the league table and could contend for the title. He is currently experiencing a trophy drought totaling 10 years and this is mostly the reason why many great player leave Arsenal when they get attention elsewhere. However despite all this he has won 3 league titles which is the second highest amount for one manager in the Premier League.

number 2...Guardiola is a World Class managing the 2 biggest clubs in the World. He used to be manager for FC Barcelona for 4 years but he is not at Bayern Munchen. In 4 seasons at FC Barcelona he won 3 La Liga titles. Guardiola is in his first year of the German side and he is currently top of the league and keeping the records coming.

number 1...Jose Mourinho is the best Manager still coaching today and is questionably the second best manager in the past 10 years. He has coached many side such as Benfica, Porto, Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid and he is now in his second spell with Chelsea. Mourinho is known for being really big headed and unfortunately for his competitors he has every reason to be with 2 Portuguese league titles, 2 PL titles, 2 Seria A titles, 1 La Liga title & 2 Champions League titles under his belt.
