Ranking of the strongest coaches: Guardiola “on top” even without a trophy

In world football, at the end of each season, the question “Who is the best coach?” again attracts the attention of experts and fans, reports givemesport.com. Recently, a team of respected experts presented a list of the top 10 strongest coaches, and the results sparked big debates in the sports world.

As expected, the first place went to Pep Guardiola, who has been managing Manchester City since 2016 and has become a symbol of modern football. Interestingly, this season his team did not win a single trophy, but Guardiola’s tactical potential, team-building skills and philosophy still took him to the very top of the list. In addition, young Uzbek talent Abdouqodir Husainov is also showing his abilities under Guardiola’s leadership.

Second place went to another Spanish specialist — Luis Enrique. He made Paris Saint-Germain the Champions League winner for the first time in club history and wrote his name in the history of coaches. Third place was taken by Arne Slot, who made Liverpool the Premier League champion in his debut season. His rapid success amazed the European football community.

The top 10 also included such well-known specialists as Simone Inzaghi, Carlo Ancelotti, Hans-Dieter Flick, Antonio Conte, Xabi Alonso, Diego Simeone and Mikel Arteta. Although these coaches work in different countries and clubs, each of them has their place in modern football.

According to the experts, the positions in the ranking were determined not so much by results as by the coach’s overall influence, tactical innovations, playing style and contribution to the team. Even a season without a trophy, in some cases, does not prevent taking the highest rating — Guardiola’s example clearly demonstrates this.

Competition and experience in world football are increasing every year. The new ranking serves as a source of motivation not only for coaches, but also for every team and country. Fans are eagerly awaiting what results their favorite coaches will show in the coming season. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
