FourFourTwo have ranked the 100 greatest managers of all-time.
The popular football magazine have put together an in-depth list of football’s master tacticians, which features Marcelo Bielsa, Arsene Wenger, Jurgen Klopp and more.
Some big names miss out, including Massimiliano Allegri and Antonio Conte.
Meanwhile, Klopp finds himself outside of the top 20 and Jose Mourinho isn’t in the top 10.
The main criteria for FourFourTwo’s list were trophies won, tactical ideas and motivational skills.
So without further ado, let’s get into it.

1. Alex Ferguson
So, unsurprisingly, Manchester United icon Sir Alex Ferguson is ranked No.1.
That’s an outcome that won’t cause a great deal of controversy. He did win 13 Premier League titles, after all.
Bielsa at No.77 stands out. The Argentinian, currently coach of Leeds United, is a great tactician but probably doesn’t have the trophy cabinet required to place him much higher.
He’s certainly brought more creative ideas to the game than Zidane has, but Bielsa doesn’t have the three Champions League trophies that the Real Madrid boss can boast.
Klopp is only heading further and further towards the top. The German, who won two Bundesliga titles with Borussia Dortmund, is currently performing miracles at Liverpool.
He should soon have a Premier League winner’s medal to go along with his Champions League medal.
Meanwhile, with each passing season Mourinho’s hopes of being the greatest of all-time take a bigger hit.
