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?
True, but remember Barca had an injury crisis last season, and has had the same this season too. Surely that’s not an excuse since injuries are part of the game, but he was still decent. Definitely deserves a mention in the top ten or at least the honorable mentions IMHO.
I’m not saying he is a bad manager all in all, but every name I mentioned did more notable things, whether in terms of results or something too good to be noticed.
I know it may sound unfair to discredit his La Liga win, I’m not, just thinking they could’ve done better.
