Recently, the foreign football media "442" selected the list of top 50 managers in 2021, of which Guardiola pressed Tucher and Klopp to the top of the list. Scaloni, who just led Argentina to the Copa America, is 21st, and Barca's new coach Xavi is in the 50th entry line.
Strong Premier League! Dominate the top 4 of the list
In recent years, the strength of the Premier League is not only reflected in the players, but also the success of the team is inseparable from a number of famous coaches. As Pep Guardiola, who has been in manchester City for many years, this time was elected manager of the year for "442", he regained the Premier League trophy this year and led Manchester City to make history to reach the Champions League final.
Tuchel, who took over from Chelsea in the middle, is no. 2 and he also had a perfect 2021. On Klopp's side, although there is no harvest in 2021, Liverpool, which led the team with many injuries, qualified for the Champions League last season and performed strongly in multi-line matches this season, which also earned it praise.
As for Conte, who is No. 4 on the list, more support comes from his results last season. Leading Inter to regain the league title after 11 years, he took over Tottenham Hotspur and immediately made a makeover. These achievements prove Conte's hard power.
The cup is not pleasing! The two managers are looked down upon
Since "442" is more of a media outlet covering the league, they must have taken the national team's results lightly. 2021 is a big year for football, after all, there are big matches such as the European Cup and the America's Cup.
Mancini, who led Italy back to the championship channel, definitely deserves a good review. However, in this 50 selection, Mancini only ranked 6th, which somewhat made Italian fans unhappy. But Argentine fans may be even more annoyed. Scaloni, who won the Copa America, finished 21st. As Messi's mentor, his ranking is even inferior to non-giant managers such as Roze and Gasperini.
Mourinho missed the top 50, and Xavi was elected
For more than 10 years, Mourinho has been a manager who is not despised in football. But in this annual selection, Mourinho did not even make it to the top 50, which is somewhat regrettable. Coach Mourinho left the class halfway through last season to lead Tottenham, but his credit for activating the potential of Kane and Son Heung-min should not be overlooked.
And the new coach Xavi, who has just taken over from Barcelona, is ranked 50th at the limit. Xavi has more results, coming from the Qatari league, but it's an area where football doesn't feel heavy. If Xavi wants to become a generation of famous managers, leading Barca to rise again is what he must do.
