From Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte, who won multiple Serie A titles and the Champions League at Juventus, to Chelsea head coach Graham Potter, who spent most of his career playing lower league football for the likes of York City and Macclesfield Town, HITC Sevens attempts to rank every current Premier League manager from worst to best.

Didn't realize Arteta never won a single cap for Spain. Speaks volumes for Spain's midfield depth at the time. I think you got the top 5 spot on. You didn't mention how Guardiola's playing career was limited by a litany of injuries. I suspect he'd have won 100 caps for Spain had he been more durable.

There was talk at one point that England were going to try and get Arteta to play for them but he wasn't allowed to back then due to some youth caps. I am sure the rule was changed for Tim Cahill so he could play for Australia as he had played for Samoa youth when he was 14 I think. Now you can switch nations if you've only played in a friendly(or friendlies) like Declan Rice and Wilfred Zaha did.

Julen Lopetegi, a great prospect from the young ranks he couldn't settle in Madrid or Barcelona but had a respectable career in the spanish Primera division enjoying some success with the NT. Xabi Gracia, a professional, hard working footballer. Not talented at all but he could run during all the match and had some scoring ability. Unai Emery, mediocre player, he had the game in his head but his legs didn't respond. He stayed mainly in the spanish Second division and retired early to become the great manager he is nowadays.

DAY 87: Hey Alfie, could you do a video on the life, career, controversies and tragedy of Justin Fashanu. It'd be your best video yet and it's a criminally underheard story ❤️

Give your head a wobble Alfie, Klopp is Teflon at Liverpool, sure this season is not the club's best but one bang average season is not going to put him on shaky ground.

22:18 Viera with Davor Suker over his shoulder, any idea who this was playing for? No club crest or name! Charity game possibly? As soon as I saw Suker I knew that I recognised the face. Damn I’m old. Edit, Cannes strip, Viera there 93-95 (told you I was old) but no record of Suker there at that time! Edited again, yeah I’m really doubting myself now, pretty sure it’s someone else completely. (But looks VERY similar)

@bertieschoice216 Жыл бұрын

That's not Davor Suker. It's weird you mentioned Suker in the background of a picture because he actually does appear behind Lampard at West Ham at 21:15. So you were kind of right 😉

Unbelievably he is a Croatian footballer, but its not Davor Suker. Its Sasa Person. Was a defender behind Vieira and Micoud for Cannes in the 90s. Think he played for Hajduk Split before that.

Where would Vincent Kompany rank once he promotes with Burnley?

@patchgatsby9138 Жыл бұрын

I think great players often fail as managers/coaches because they have great physical gifts. A weaker player has to figure out every angle and trick to keep up. You can teach those angles and tricks, but you can't teach greatness.
