Greatest Ever Managers To Manage In The Premier League

France Football have caused some controversy with their list of the top 50 greatest ever football managers, not least with their placing of Jurgen Klopp above former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
On a near weekly basis the whole world of Football Twitter will be having yet another discussion about whether Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo is the ‘GOAT,’ lord knows how often it happens around our desk at SPORTbible HQ.

Of course picking the greatest of all time for any sport is fraught with discussion. Pick any sport and there’s probably a good debate to be had about at least two people, there’s few examples where there’s an outright winner.

So trying to work out who the greatest manager of all time is was always going to a task that caused a lot of controversy and lead to a lot of people shouting.
French outlet France Football have put together the list of the top 50 of all time based on trophies won, influence on the game, their personality and how it has influenced managers who have followed.
Ajax, Barcelona and Netherlands legend Rinus Michels tops the list and considering without him there would have been no Johan Cruyff or Pep Guardiola it’s pretty understandable.

Sir Alex Ferguson is second on the list, and again with his trophies it’s not surprising. But further down the list there is quite some controversy:
