The Equaliser's 20 Greatest Managers ever

A step above the usual "They wouldn't give 'im the England job cuz he's not a yes man" stuff that infects these lists normally.

Would obviously have had #5 four places higher, but still a great read.

No Jock Stein, no credibility. But I'll have a proper read through in a bit.

Cracking read!! Shamefully about a third of the list were unfamiliar to me.

Guy Roux's career reads like an extended Football Manager game brought to life, someone turning a provincial squad into a country's #1 team over a period of 34 seasons before taking an ill-advised one-season gig elsewhere then retiring abruptly.

The only possible photo too

Hogan may not be the most successful manager in terms of, but he is without doubt the most important individual figure there has ever been with regard to the professional and theoretical development of football.

Dunno why they picked him over Michels or Chapman or Sacchi who were as equally important in 'professional and theoretical development of football' when they also won a ton of stuff. Not that I'm disputing the guy making the top 20 ever, just seems a contrarian #1. Also the reason why he isn't above Clough as the greatest manager to never manage England - much like Chapman - is because the England team didn't have a traditional manager until Alf Ramsey, right? And that dude was still playing in the team Hogan's Hungary beat in '53.

Will read the others now :)
