I believe many would change their votes after the Russia vs Holland match
Well, this poll is kinda bias as typical Malaysian fans (including myself (sometimes) to be honest) ONLY watch EPL/BPL and ECL.It would be better if you as for something like "Best National Team Manager" or league-specific polls (but I still believe many will vote recent managers compared to some great legends

)
I don't take that as an offence. It's the fact

absolutely u cant compare all managers, especially if there are from different countries or from very different footballing culture..
rijkaard said right after his sacking, that in spain, managers are impossible to last more than 5-6 years in a same club..because of the culture and the expectations of the board and fans..i dun wanna elaborate what he said, because i may be misleading the fact or what he meant in his statements..but just take capello's case as an example..won a la liga title and was sacked juz days after winning it..can u imagine that in epl??and then there is a guy called mancini, who brought 2 serie A titles to internazionale, sacked just bcos of failures in UCL?to bring new ideas into the club maybe..that is what very ambitious mr. moratti the chairman has been thinking quite sometime before mancini's sacking
this is absolutely different compared to epl..i like to take the example of gerard houllier..how long did he last with liverpool?6 years iirc..and he didnt brought constant success to the club..
so it is just quite unjust to make this kind of vote if many of the voters doesnt know much about other league..maybe this poll should concentrate on epl only..as i said earlier, if you wanna vote AW, just consider villareal's manuel pellegrini first..after moulding a group of experienced players and youngsters into a strong team in la liga, you will simply be amazed with his achievements too
p/s: to livepool fans, i still remember houllier is the manager of the treble winning team..so im not intentionally belittling his achievements, 00/01 is indeed a good season for livepool fc
peace
