who won the world cup?

2000-2010 = SAF
2010-2020 = JM !

at least list their achievements lar ...

fergie? 11pl title n 2 ucl > all

wait.. how come 2 CL for Alex Ferguson?

i tot 1999…. not 2000 right?

Definately Sir Alex Ferguson

Did his second hattrick of league champions this decade.

Still creating new team that can challenge for the title every year even after losing the greatest goalscorers twice this decade. Ruud and Ronaldo.

Finally manage to make his mark in the champions league with 2 finals.

Kicking out all pretenders to the throne. Bye bye Mourinho.

And he's been doing this for 25 years in the same club.

There is only one person on top of the perch and his name is Sir Alexander Chapman "Alex" Ferguson.

You can count as 1

but according to IFFHS Wenger is the best manager of the decade?

LOL french magazine.. voted by a bunch of french voters.Wenger is only the greatest Arsenal manager and that is all about it.

Added on April 29, 2011, 6:09 pmI personally not a fan of Fergie but then .. i voted him as well.
How can a team that lost so many key player on and off and yet he present a team that still winning titles at all front after 2 decades..amazing!

where the hell you get this list and which brand of manager of the decade is this? where is the website?

This post has been edited by liez: Apr 29 2011, 06:14 PM

Only fergie can tell u wats the great ,pep ,and all the others but not dirty football minded coach who only know play defend and counter attack ...Annndd some taekwando .....haha

Marcelo Lippi

greatest manager - pep guordiola

not even he trained up the tiki taka
he even go further by teaching them the skills of play acting

In term of achievement, SAF

In term of using the least resources but still maintain top flight, Arsene Wenger

It depends on the criteria on "judging" and define your term in details

where is king kenny?

^celebrating the Royal wedding.

i'll say mourinho..Y? he coached different teams & won! alex ferguson..errr..only MU whole of his life..

you sure about that?

Where is GUUS HIDDINK ?

PEP GUARDIOLA don't deserved to be there. He only be a manager for a while, plus considered what he ordered his player to do in the last match

looks like it's vicente del bosque then ... the only guy that won the world cup in the list

if you were to talk about impact, i'd put pep at barcelona above jose in chelsea/inter ... i'll change my mind if someone can show me which other manager won 6 cups a season ...

tactics wise, jose

btw, none of them won the euro cup? :/ ...

wow wat a great thread to start flame war...

those who start flaming, low class supporters


joo downplay his achievement liao ...

Exactly ..if you read on you can see which part of a club supporter always tries to start flame! i reported one.


The last thread i made on quarterfinalist of champions league was clean all the way bcos that part of supporter was not in it.
We can see those low class n low life is from which team indeed.

Added on April 29, 2011, 8:48 pmBTW the greatness list is base on achievement for last 10 years, (1 decade)

And very straight forward achievement is measure by success and honour.

This post has been edited by Yukieliow: Apr 29 2011, 08:49 PM

mourinho shouldn't be in the list. disgrace

btw, marcelo lippi should be listed

b4 he go to man utd, he managed aberdeen & win european winners cup by beating real madrid in final...he also able to break the old firm domination in scottish league.....is that only MU in whole life?

---

Added on April 29, 2011, 11:34 pmoh btw my choice of list:

Sir alex ferguson - need i say more???
vicente del bosque - manager of previous great galacticos team of real madrid...and world cup winners of spain..

This post has been edited by skystrike: Apr 29 2011, 11:34 PM

even if SAF is a one club man for his whole life, to be that successful that constantly throughout 20+ years....not easy feat man
my vote goes to SAF as well, still manage to guide the team to challenge for glory on almost all front after losing RVN, Stam, Beckham, Ronaldo, Tevez..is almost unimaginable

Mourinho would be closely behind

I chose Sir Alex eventho i hate Man U.. coz who can deny that he is one of the greatest managers in the EPL...

I like mourinho also because whereever he goes, he wins things.

i concur

IFFHS = french football magazine?
lol pls do some research b4 making yourself look stupik

anyway my vote goes to fergie for his management approach, and man u's excellent achievements for the past decade

your statement is incorrect
with all due respect to SAF
he prove himself to be the best in EPL
but can he succed in serie A and la liga?
maybe he can but we will never know
mourinho on the other hand won domestic trophy in 4 different countries; portugal, england, italy and spain
mind you, english, spanish and italian league are top 3 of uefa rankings thus the max 4 slots for UCL (although italy will be replaced by germany next season onward)
mounrinho win trophy every year since 2003


btw, SAF never win euro either..not just world cup
one more thing, SAf never manage a national side right? correct me if i'm wrong
so does mourinho
so in the nutshell your statement is invalid

not this sh*t again

Ridiculous thread.

btw, will be nice to see sacchi in the list ... since at least 4/5 of the guys in the list were hugely influenced by his football philosophy ...

This post has been edited by spursfan: Apr 30 2011, 08:12 AM

I thought he successfully ended a team's domination in Scottish League before this?

mourinho unbeaten at home for how long? simply the best

okie..so this is not something official and no actual awards to be given... its more like Miss Yukieliow greatest manager of the decade?

btw...reported you for name calling

as much as i hate his winning team,i still have my respect for SAF.25 years and counting.not many managers can have that achievement.

Same kind of argument can also be applied to Mourinho in terms of longevity of managing. Mourinho won trophies in a short period of time with many clubs. But he never stay with 1 club for a long time to create a "dynasty" did he? What if he continues managing inter for the next 20 years? Will he win another 20 Serie A? Maybe he can but we will never know. Comparing these 2 is like asking the question: "who is the greater man, a guy who marries a woman and she stays the only person he made love with, or a guy who goes around making love to many women?"

PS: Mourinho joins a team in those top 3 leagues who are already potentially challenging for title. When SAF joined United, they were nowhere near the top. Now, I'm not suggesting Mourinho is not good. In just pointing out different factors that comes to play, and not just "who won more titles in different leagues = better manager".

Probably ur point is to explain why the quoted statement is invalid. But I think your explanation isnt exactly right as well.

yep bro
I get what you mean
I just wanna let the TS know that his poll doesnt do justice to all those respected manager mentioned
to compared SAF and mourinho is totally ridiculous, as they said it; apples and oranges

He did managed Scotland in 86 if i'm not mistaken to replace untimely death of Jock Stein for WC 86. I remember Souness play for Sir Alex that time. But largely unsuccessful.

Rafa... and that's a FATCH !

Guardiola..its even a bigger joke....he hasnt been coaching even half a decade...

i'm tempted to say SAF but think about it. SAF is winning things with his own team he built the previous decade. compared with JM i'd say JM has a wayyyyyy more difficult task in winning cups.

it's true JM have great players under his command but mind you with great power comes great responsibility! not easy to turn a bunch of highly paid under-performing egoistical players to a championship winning team! and as barca labelled JM, he is a 'cup specialist'. just goes on to show how dangerous he really is.

hire JM, and you're GUARANTEED to win before the end of the year.

haha again the question of longevity vs instant success...I'm not saying Mourinho not good, he's good (if not he won't be able to win these much, at different teams), but whether he can build a team which is successful for over one decade is yet to be proven. Plus he was only a translator for Sir Bobby Robson at Barcelona, and not really much experience in coaching before, so this made him more special (natural talent perhaps?)

likewise SAF, he's not the "instant" success type, he rebuilds his team from the very foundation, both at Aberdeen and United, so the route of success for both managers are different, and can't be compared due to this.

mourinho yeaaarsss of undefeated at home is a legend, although it had been broken recently but still it's crazy come to think of it.

yes, can't deny that most team mourinho lead is the top team, and got loads of cash (besides Porto), but still, with such short period, without really understand the player, or player able to gel up each other and able to win that much, it's still good

no, i am not saying mourinho > SAF, more to like mourinho and SAF are both the top manager in the past 10 years.

others manager really does not come close compare to them

well we're comparing their records for the past decade, no? i think the question of longevity will only come in if you were to compare both manager's entire career. i'm not taking away any credit from SAF though, he sells his best player after player and still manages to win the epl with relative ease.

still, I've gotta say this. Hire JM, and you're guaranteed to win something lol!

yea it seems like that's the trend so far

but now let see how's he's gonna fare at RM, with the impatient management and the high expectation from fans, the pressure on him is nothing like his previous clubs

then i guess the same can be say to SAF rite? will be be guarantee to bring instant success to a team is still yet to be proven rite?

hence, like you say, they are both really very different manager, due to their mentality is different.

The argument about them being different is moot. Players have different playing styles as well. How can we compare a defender with a striker? It will never be apples and apples. Point is that in spite of the obvious discrepancies in managerial styles, you still need to pick a winner and I don't think anyone has rivaled Fergie's success in the past decade. Fact of the matter is that they are both managers and the award goes to ONE manager so take a pick. If everyone is going for a stalemate just because they are "different", then there is no point in having any award.

This.

I remember we have this kinda 'Best Manager' thread long time ago, and I voted Lippi in that poll

But what if Carlo Ancelotti rise and win the league this season in such dramatic fashion? i think he will prove to be one of the best too.

the poll doesnt lie, SAF it is

As much as I dislike his constant bullying of referees, the FA and fellow managers, SAF is surely the manager of the decade (at least in my admittedly limited knowledge of football outside mainstream Europe). Here is a man who has not only built a winning team, but a winning dynasty. Players come and go at Man Utd, yet they continue to win.

i'm a liverpool fan...i hate united very much
but...i must admit Ferguson is the best manager for the decade..only this 2decade...of course the best manager for all time for me is Bill shankly although i never ever born at that time

At this time of writing Fergie have 91 vote.. 9 more to make it centenary lol..

not surprising considering 25% of msian are manu supporters (jason dasey's interview, said during uefa cham league roadshow in pavilion)

Let's do a summarize here..

Seem like Alex Ferguson win with hands down and far majority.

In conclusion there are 2 best manager in the world and they are Fergie and Jose.. but Fergie is the greatest of all.

2010-2020...gonna be JM era...2000-2010 SAF...

Still showing the rest why he is the best. Sir Alex Ferguson

What a steal. £6 mill for that little Mexican

i will praise the scout that scouted him... SAF gamble a lot...if the transfer didn't success then...no media will cover it...a nice 6mil gamble on a very talented mexican..and he proven good...but SAF also gamble on Bebe...yet no one touch about it...

NO one else except SAF. Im a pool fan bt there is no denying that guy is legendary!

I agree with most of the ppl here... SAF is the greatest manager especially after watching Man Utd vs Arsneal 8-2 last Saturday

Wanna ask is SAF the only manager achieved success without spending big money like the other teams like Chelsea and Manchester City did?

So far, SAF only produce and nurture our own players first without spending money buying players...Respect!!!

Danny Welbeck, Wayne Rooney, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling are all from great Academy of Manchester...

to be fair Sir Alex did spend money but just not instant cash in players like City and Chelsea.

so fair game to Sir Alex building team and spend where he saw values in his squad

Rubbish! Mana kenny dalglish?!

Shankly & Dalglish is one of the best Managers i've ever known in my entire football life & career.

He is busy coaching Liverpool.. there is lot more to do like winning League and Champions League for the upcoming seasons.. Belum boleh masuk this list...

This poll already has a winner.. we can just move on..

This post has been edited by verbatim: Aug 31 2011, 01:32 AM

This is a no contest. It's definitely Fergie.

2nd place is much harder to decide... You can say it's Jose, since he won TWO Trebles with Porto and Inter, but Pep has won virtually everything with Barcelona, except the UEFA Cup of course. It is more like a tie between them.

The other 2? Way below them.

As someone already said, he did spend just not in the quantum of your Man City or Chelsea who inherited wealth overnight. Also neither Wayne Rooney, Chris Smalling nor Phil Jones are from your academy. Err maybe do some reading? Maybe you're a new fan and missed Rooney's signing from Everton but heck, you just signed Smalling 2 years ago and even more recent still, Phil Jones like a month ago...

Your wealth is accumulated from years of successful marketing and in this aspect you are lightyears ahead of anyone else. The club generates so much revenue commercially. And yes, I voted SAF as well.

The thread titles states "manager of the decade". Considering that King Kenny just returned to management, his achievements in the past decade don't yet rival even Roy Hodgson.

Right ... as much as I respect those two but I do not think you are that 'old'.

No arguments here. Fergie is definitely the best manager of the decade. How many PL titles did he won in a decade? People keep pointing on that United bought youngsters and not producing them. First of all, if it is not because that stupid rule in England, any team would be able to scout for talents in any part of England.

Secondly, other teams bought youngsters too but how many of them could ever play for the first team of their respective clubs? You can figure this out by yourself. I am not bigging up Fergie's achievements but one has to be think for not seeing his success over the years.

Marketing? With the help of the board and staff, United is the no. 1 brand in football. United has a BIG fan base across the world. You can't just discount that. And successes on the field? Well, go figure.

Eventhough United bought youngsters like Rooney, Jones and Smalling, it still takes a lot of work to 'raise' them to what they are today. Especially on Rooney, he's no longer that hot-headed person. And most of our academy talents went to some other PL clubs.

My point is they were bought and not home raised as suggested by your fellow fan.

Did i ever mentioned that i'm old? Me neither, no arguments. It's never a stupid rules.
You should not blame the regulations for not being to raise and bring talents from academy. BIG fans?

You should have heard the voice of big fans in Istanbul no?

where is rajapagol with the suzuki cup?

well my opinion
1. SAF
2. del bosque
3. mourinho
4. guardiola

I am not sure where he get his info but he is definitely wrong. Of course there are talents coming from the club, Fletcher, O'Shea, Brown, to name a few. And like I've said, most of our 'products' went to other PL clubs.

What has Istanbul got to do with the discussion? Goodness.

The rule is stupid. Hence, bigger clubs have to buy players from smaller clubs. Let me ask you, what has your club produce in the recent years? Last that I could remember is Gerrard. Oh, I'm talking on first XI. Kelly?

Want me to name ours?

You can't even understand simple English. I said BIG FANBASE.

Have you heard voices of United fans in away sections of any PL clubs? Meh.

And, the title is for the DECADE. Shankley and Dalglish? Really? Junior, you have to understand the context before replying here.

Added on September 2, 2011, 1:12 amGood list. Though, between Pep and Jose, it's quite a tough call.

This post has been edited by boxsystem: Sep 2 2011, 01:12 AM

There is Ancelotti yet there is no Marcelo Lippi..

There is Del Bosque yet there is no Benitez..

This thread is kinda funny TBH..

What? SAF did spent big money on certain player in the past. You must be new to the club.

He must be so new to BPL that he didn't know that Berbatov went to Man U for £30m++..

True. Off the top of my head I can think of John Curtis, Jonathan Greening, Ronnie Wallwork, Kieran Richardson and Danny Higginbotham. Much in the same way we had David Thompson, John Welsh, Richie Partridge, Stephen Warnock, Mark Kennedy and Zak Whitbread leave the club. The former aren't as good as your class of 92 and it will be interesting to see if this will ever repeated by any club. There are positive signs of course with Cleverly, Evans and Welbeck in good form. From our perspective, Kelly, Robinson, Spearing and Flanaghan are getting some playing time as well. Ferguson has always favoured British players being a Scot himself which probably explains why you've had youth products graduate to playing for other albeit smaller Premiership teams and I hope that King Kenny will do the same for us in years to come.

before talking abt daglish and all its decade wo .. not century lol

greatest manager of the decade for sure Sir Alex no doubt about that. but i like Pep Guardiola way of dressing. that dude got style ! but who has the most handsome manager of all time ?

Which decade you talking about? 1990-2000 or 2001-2010?

if Pep and Mourinho continue their success rate from the last 5 years and replicate it to another 10 years, they'll definitely surpass SAF. probably they'll earn the greatest tag in 2020.

but the thread mentioned decade, so i assume its 2000-2010 decade. SAF is the greatest, but del Bosque is so close. World Cup winner will make up his low profile achievement in Turkey. Capello, Hiddink, Ancelotti also need a mention.

praising the greatest doesnt mean belittling the others..

rafa benitez? He showed no fear to saf..

No need for sarcasm I reckon. He may have lost the team at one point but Rafa is still greatly respected especially when he returned to Anfield for the anniversary of Hillsborough, shedding a few tears in the process.

SAF. pep time will come. soon

should be Sergio Busquets.

i dont have time for this again. sorry. selamat hari raya

fasha sandha cud shed a tear watching mr bean. Doesnt mean a thg.

Well it means a thing to us so piss off if you don't give a fook. Winning isn't everything to everyone.

doesn't it amaze you that even till today, Rafa is still in some of these people's minds? I know there are rotten apples in every group of supporters, but come on, how classy is this?

Which comes to my mind about that shitty rule of talent scouting. I can see the whole idea in protecting other club's well being and so on but England is not doing themselves a favour there.

That former AC Milan coach. Leonardo? He's good looking.

Well, both also being conquered by the same man(in PL of course).

I like Pep. He's classy.

Mourinho, on the other hand, at times can be a big jerk. But, I really have to hand it to him, capable of managing big name players. Well, except for that GENIUS Mario Balotelli.

I agree. In fact I think he doesn't get enough credit simply because people feel he inherited a good team which isn't completely untrue of course. There is an article on him in the latest local edition of FourFourTwo and it sheds some light into his character and his brilliant footballing mind. Any Pep fan should have a read me thinks.

The other person with potential for greatness is of course Villas Boas. He won everything with Porto last season where they won over 80% of their games even after losing a key player in Raul Meireles. He comes with the reputation of being a more attacking minded Mourinho but without the arrogance.

Lippi was quite successful during his days back in Juve

Lippi got most of all the major throphy..
but i mourinho would be better choice...
Lippi only stay on italy..but him (mourinho) win with porto,chelsea ,inter and madrid almost...if he can get euro,WC then he is the greatest..
