more confirmation of my theory that in terms of ex players, deep lying midfielders make the best coaches

This used to the conventional wisdom but with defenders not that long ago.

Not surprised it's become more with midfielders given the state of today's game

 

[Bantz Lord T]

I'm not sure there's a correlation, honestly. Ferguson, Bianchi, Cruyff, and Menotti were legendary managers and all were forwards.

Clough, Ramon Diaz, Stabile, Lattek, Heynckes, Mancini, Klopp, Bobby Robson and Rinus Michels were all forwards too.

Even with the number of top managers being former midfielders nowadays, there's still always been quality managers of every positional group tbf.

Every one besides goalies since they're usually the craziest and most loners of them all

I’ll add wingers and fullbacks. Can’t think of any off the top of my head. The game is played in the middle more than out wide so it makes sense to me. If I had to pick a group that would probably be more likely to succeed as a coach it would be midfielders since they see the whole of the game from their position.

y’all just wanna hate on pep but that’s they reason why pep is mentioned. also cause he’s head and shoulders the best manager in football.

Romario was arguably the best #9. Ronaldo even went to the same teams he did when he went to Europe. PSV and Barca
