from my point of view..i think the best manager would be one who go to others club/country and help them win something or at least lift the ranking up.. Lippi and Guus are quite good...Capello also good..

i am not saying that SAF is not good..but he is only in 1 club.. if he moves to other clubs..i still doubt he can do it again.. but apart of loyalty.. he is the most loyal manager to the club..

stoke is not the midtable team..they fight to avoid relegate..yes..aberdeen is one of his early club.. yet i admit he is among the best manager...but not the best..

you can check sir matt busby for man utd..and shankly for liverpool ofcourse...how he transformed from low class or low division until liverpool won division 1 title..

so IMHO..SAF is the best manager for 90s and 00s and for the club only..

the country manager is totally different..they get pile of pressure from millions of people..u can see how england supporters pressure their manager..the media..

they need to choose players.. and they only have 2-3 weeks or 6-7 weeks for team preparation..

best manager is so general..and it is so difficult to determine who..

Lippi and Vicente

1UCL and 1 WC with their country team.

ferguson yes for the club. he should try bring scotland win WC.
