So, since 2023 is nearing its end, wanted to share my opinion regarding who were the best all year, starting today with coaches.
10: Edin Terzic
9: Mikel Arteta
8: Marco Rose
7: Eddie Howe
6: Luciano Spalletti
5: Carlo Ancelotti
4: Xabi Alonso
3: Unai Emery
2: Simone Inzaghi
1: Pep Guardiola
Honorable mentions include: Roberto de Zerbi, Stefano Pioli, Massimiliano Allegri, Diego Simeone, Maurizio Sarri & Michel.
Who would you include in your top 10 list?
I already explained why I put Edin Terzic and Marco Rose in the list in another comment.
Eddie Howe, 4th placed finish with a squad like his is an achievement, could’ve done better this season though.
Mikel Arteta was literally in the fight for Premier League, yet his tactics and mentality are questionable, that’s why I placed him 9th.
Maurizio Sarri finished in the top 4 of Serie A, something unthinkable by Lazio standards, and that would be the case whether Juventus got punished or not.
Nothing against Xavi, he won the league, I just think he’s not good enough, a team at his disposal could’ve done MUCH better.
I already explained many times why Klopp isn’t there, and surprisingly no one told me anything about Erik ten Hag yet 😁
