Who haven’t heard the name Franz Beckenbauer? So far, the Emperor is the only person to have won the World Cup as a player and as a manager.

He was the one who lead Olympique Marseille to League 1 in 1991, he was the man behind the victory of Bayern Munich in Bundesliga in 1994 and the 1995-1996 UEFA Cup.
The Federation of Football History & Statistics appointed UK coach Sir Alex Ferguson to be the greatest coach of the 21st century, not without a reason. He started working with Manchester United in 1986 and lead the team for 25 years through glory and rough times. Ferguson was on good terms with his players, trusted and supported them, at the same time he demanded discipline on the pitch. He helped some young talents, like Wayne Rooney, Roy Keaneto, Eric Cantona, to reach their peak and become true classics.
Barcelona’s Pepp Guardiola is a man of inspiration. He gave Barca more titles than any other coach before him could, no surprise that he was awarded FIFA Ballon d’Or for best coach in 2011. His team was always of top performance with clear instructions on which strategy to follow. Guardiola has taken the famous tiki-taka strategy to its limits and proved his remarkable skills as a manager.
