14:45

Alberto Zaccheroni 


A man from Italian Serie A, one of the most important managers of the 90's, he have worked at Bologna, Udinese, Lazio, Inter, Milan, Torino, Juventus and at Japan's National team between 2010 and 2014.

Carlos Alberto Parreira


Master of records, have trained 5 National Teams at the World Cup, won it with Brasil, and never played professional football. Globaltrotter as he has managed in Ghana, Brasil, USA, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, and Spain.

Steve Sampson 


Also known as 'Uncle Sam' by the american press. Former LA Galaxy, USA and Costa Rica coach, has been one of the greatest drivers of the sport in North America in the last decades.

Benito Floro


Trained the best Albacete of the history, that led him to Real Madrid for 2 seasons. Has worked at 16 clubs from all over the world, in countries such as Ecuador, Japan, Mexico or Morocco. Right now he's training Canada's National Team.

Avram Grant


His latest feat is to have led Ghana to the final of the African Nations Cup, but the team lost on penalties to Ivory Coast. Its success is no accident. And is that the technician, who knew the Premier League and former West Ham and Chelsea, began in the benches of his native Israel 18 years.

Carlos Queiroz


He knows a lot about National Teams football. Everybody remembers him for being the chosen to replace Vicente Del Bosque at Real Madrid in 2003. He has not won titles yet but has the honour to have managed countries like Portugal, South Africa, United Arab Emirates and Iran.

Jorge Sampaoli


As all Argentines, fell in love with football in the streets. But an injury of tibia and fíbula put him away from the fields at 20 years old. His role model is Marcelo Bielsa, made Universidad de Chile the best team in America in 2011 and now he's training Chile and making them play a very good football.

Rafaell Benitez


The spanish has had at his command players like Xabi Alonso, Lampard, Samuel Eto'o, Higuain and more, and and has always managed to squeeze the best from them. He's a legend at Anfield, he won the UEFA Champions League with Liverpool in 2005. Also won the UEFA Europa League with Chelsea, FIFA Club World Cup with Internazionale, and Valencia will not forget him after winning the last Liga that the club has won.

Arrigo Sacchi 


He did played but in that time the club was very little, not even professional. Living legend of football. A few have been so in love with tactics like him. His Milan played beautiful football, that's why is consider by a lot of people as the best team of the history. Also reached a final of the World Cup with Italy at 1994 (¿remember the penalty kick of Roberto Baggio? I think he does).

Jose Mourinho


The portuguese is the referent of this list full of figures that not everyone knows its history. We all know his path that makes him one of the best managers of all times. He has won at least 1 title in the countries that have worked: Portugal, England, Italy and Spain. Such a legend.
