There are seven Argentines but Scaloni does not appear

Los rankings In football they are usually the cause of controversies and debates in the environment. And the English magazine FourFourTwo (442) gave a clear example of this. The publication put together its own list with the 100 best coaches in historyand the chosen roster did not go unnoticed, especially in Argentina.

Some names, based on the milestones achieved in their careers, have sufficient merits to enter the top without meriting detailed analysis. However, for 442, it seems that the fact of being World Champion (with Copa América and Finalissima included) is not a sufficient argument to be part of the list, a foundation that was demonstrated by leaving out none other than Lionel Scaloni.

Yes, the current coach of the Argentine National Team does not occupy any position within the published list. Instead, Other coaching colleagues who also won the World Cup did manage to earn their respective positions.like other DTs who did not even participate in an event of such caliber.

Beyond the omission of Pujato, the magazine paid tribute to others seven great Argentine coaches. The tallest of all, to the surprise of those with less memory, is Helenio Herrerawho with an eighth place is recognized for his work in clubs such as Inter, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid during the ’50s and ’60s.

“Herrera’s ultra-defensive system that inspired distrust of the fun of Italian football for decades will forever be synonymous with the Inter team he built; winners of three Serie A titles and the European Cup in 1964 and 1965 (years in those who win the Intercontinental Cup)”, stated FourFourTwo.

Next, on the Argentine list, there is Diego Cholo Simeone (43) for his work at the head of Atlético Madrid, where he has been for more than a decade and revolutionized the club with titles and million-dollar income. Then it follows Luis Alberto Carniglia (58)who was a Boca player and as coach knew how to lead the National Team and win two European Cups with Real Madrid.

Helenio Herrera is considered the eighth best coach in history.

Then, behind them appear the two names with whom Scaloni could share the table: Carlos Salvador Bilardo (65) y César Luis Menotti (68)champions with the Albiceleste in 1986 and 1978, respectively.

Carlos Bianchi (70)three-time Intercontinental Cup champion, and Marcelo Bielsa (77), one of the favorites of footballers, are in charge of closing the short group of “argento” coaches, a list that the creator of La Scaloneta could have joined without saying a word. He has no shortage of merits.

Fergurson, the best, and Guardiola in the top five

Beyond the Argentine figures, who was crowned the best coach of all time is Alex Ferguson. The Scot is recognized as the top manager of Manchester United and possibly the Premier League.

“He joined Manchester United in 1986. His first seven years brought only one FA Cup and one Cup Winners’ Cup, but then came an astonishing haul of 13 Premier League titles, four FA Cups and two Champions Leagues between 1993 and 2013,” justifies his choice 442.

Then, the podium is completed by the Dutch Rinus Michelsthe creator of A Clockwork Orange that marked an era, and its successor Johan Cruyffwho with his ‘total football’ transformed the ideology and history of Barcelona.

Position number four corresponds to Bill Shanklywho turned Liverpool into one of the best teams in the world after taking charge when they were in the English Second Division.

The person in charge of closing the top five is none other than Pep Guardioladriven by the merits of the construction of that mythical Barcelona, ​​classified as the best team in history by many, added to his achievements in Bayern Munich and those that he still continues to collect in Manchester City, a club to which he awarded his first Champions League .

Those who finish with the top 10 They are Arrigo Sachi (6), Matt Bsuby (7), Helen Herrera (8), Ernest Happel (9) and Valeriy Lobanovski (10).

Finally, other figures of the 21st century Those who occupy moderately high positions are José Mourinho (12), Vicente Del Bosque (15), Carlo Ancelotti (17), Louis Van Gaal (20), Arsene Wenger (23), Jurgen Kloop (29) and Zinedine Zidane (36).

Among them, the only ones who led a National Team are the World Champion coach with Spain in 2010 and the former coach of the Netherlands in Qatar 2022, positions that apparently Scaloni would be far from reaching.
