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 liked him during Ajax days, and was thinking he would clean up Manchester United, but instead I saw a coach with double standards, someone who is too biased for his tactics rather than improving the individual power of his players, and the way he handles backstage drama is really sick.
I would say, this team without in-form Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes, they are really toothless.
And I stopped taking him seriously after conceding 7 against Liverpool, where his tactics and every flaw of this team got exposed again, and this time he didn’t show any disciplinary action to fix the issues, which still exist today.
