Jock Stein is the most successful if you're talking sheer quantity of trophies.
10 Scottish League Championships
9 Scottish Cups
6 Scottish League Cups
1 European Cup.
Seeing that its the 10th anniversary of the most successful manager ever in Britain Bob Paisley i thought it would be a good time to say who, in your opinion the top 3 greatest Managers/Coaches were.
1. Paisley ( 6 LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS
3 EUROPEAN CUPS
3 LEAGUE CUPS
1 UEFA CUP
1 EUROPEAN SUPER CUP
5 CHARITY SHIELDS
6 MANAGER OF THE YEAR AWARDS in 9 years of management.
2. Busby (he had a great team at manchester united even after the munich disaster)
3. Capello ( has won cups and leagues where ever he has gone...also that milan team in the early 90s........)
Im sure there are many great coaches in different leagues with great historys and honours but of those that i know theyd be my 3.....i think
Jock Stein is the most successful if you're talking sheer quantity of trophies.
10 Scottish League Championships
9 Scottish Cups
6 Scottish League Cups
1 European Cup.
For me the top 3 British Managers of all time are
Paisley
Clough
Ferguson
In Trap we trust
This could be a tough one. I think their probably should be 3 catagories here:
Greatest Domestic manager (any league)
Greatest British manager
Greatest Manager ever.
or something on those lines. Like can you really compare Jock Stein adn Fabio Capello? Not in my opinion. Or Trapatonni for that matter? Perhaps not.
I'd have to think a while before committing to anything on paper.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

I can't really pick a top 3.
I think all of the following should be considered
Stein - won the European cup with a side of local players and a lot more besides
Paisley
Ferguson - rebuilt Man Utd.
Clough
Busby
Shankly??
Arrigo Sacchi + Fabio Capello for Ac Milan sides of late 80's early 90's
Rinus Michels - Dutch Inventor of Total Football.
yeah sacchi had alot to do with that milan team also. i just think capello proved himself in other countries and other teams too but sacchi's style of football was great too i thinkOriginally Posted by colster
Many liverpool fans believe Shankly was greater than Paisley coz he was the one who took liverpool from the 2nd division to win 3 league titles and their first cup in europe the uefa.......
There is no doubt that Paisley's era as manager was more fruitful than Shankly's in terms of trophies won. Also, it seems fair to speculate that much of what Shankly achieved would not have been possible without Bob Paisley's calm influence and knowledge of the game. But it is equally likely that without the driving force and sheer charisma of Shankly, Liverpool's spell in the doldrums in the 1950s would have reached long into the 60s and perhaps even further and Bob Paisley may never have become manager at all.
id say paisley..did ye hear niall quinn talking about him last night before the match saying that he would have been the irish manager but jack charlton got it ahead of him because someone changed there vote
Quinn said nothing that was not widely known anyway. That has all been well documented before to be honest.
In Trap we trust
As far as I know Paisley had an onset Alzheimers around the time he was in with a shot of becoming the Irish manager.
Giuseppe Trappatoni
Won Serie A , Coppa Italia, European Cup, European Cup-winners Cup, UEFA Cup, European Super Cup, Intercontinental Cup with Juventus
Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich
Portugese League title with Benfica
Plus managed Italy in Euro2004
Vujadin Boskov
He won Yugoslavia League Title with Partizan Belgrade
He won Serie A title with Sampdoria
He won Primera Liga Title with Real Madrid
He won Dutch Eere Divisie title with Feyenoord (I think)
Coached Yugoslavia in Euro 2000
Doing it in Four different countries and in four different languages is some achievement.

Mourinho??? one of the greatest managers of all time?? Why?Originally Posted by superfrank
why are 90% of "the greatest managers of all time british"?
Because of what he did with no money at Leiria, then what he did at Porto and Chelsea would've won the league in 2004 if Ranieri was as tactically spot-on as Mourinho is.Originally Posted by jockser
