I am very impressed by him, worked under dean Smith and has carved out a name for himself. Brentford are a force now in the premier league and they've done it in about 3 seasons which is mental all things considered
Didn't realize Arteta never won a single cap for Spain. Speaks volumes for Spain's midfield depth at the time. I think you got the top 5 spot on. You didn't mention how Guardiola's playing career was limited by a litany of injuries. I suspect he'd have won 100 caps for Spain had he been more durable.
When you see that photo of their midfield back then it's frightening. Much like how Di Canio would be Italy's best forward if he was playing now but never got a single cap for Italy.
There was talk at one point that England were going to try and get Arteta to play for them but he wasn't allowed to back then due to some youth caps. I am sure the rule was changed for Tim Cahill so he could play for Australia as he had played for Samoa youth when he was 14 I think. Now you can switch nations if you've only played in a friendly(or friendlies) like Declan Rice and Wilfred Zaha did.
Expected Thomas Frank in last, and was not surprised. Fun fact: The picture at 2:11 were taken at an away day for Frederiksværk, specifically against Ballerup. I believe Frederiksværk are the team in red.
I forgot he was sacked and was fully expecting Gerrard at #1. Edit: I had this thought after I saw Lampard at #2. I'm not trying to even debate between who was better.
Gary O’Neil will always be a legend at QPR… Especially for his tackle on Will Hughes that saw him get sent off but also kept The R’s in the 2014 PlayOff Final, which we went on to win! Had we gone 1-0 down as Hughes was clean through, we wouldn’t have fought back to get something from the game!
Bournemouth fan here. It’s jolly nice for someone from our club to actually feature seemingly a smidge longer than other club representatives for once 😅 Great video, really interesting to hear more about the manager’s journeys. Up the cherries 🍒

Well to be fair he ranks them based on their career (I think at least), not their ability, so in the end I think Vieira is an easy choice, even if you only count the Invincibles, the WC and the Euro wins.

Howe seems to be one hell of a coach he took Bournemouth from almost getting relegate in the 3rd tier to the premiership. Now coaching with a huge amount of cash behind him will be a dangerous prospect.

It's crazy to think that 8 get sacked a year on average! I would say why would you even try but there's loads of reason with the picture of the queen on it that would change my mind.
@@rhyswilliams4893 Crazy? In Greece we would be celebrating if we only sacked 8 managers per year, and we have 4-6 teams less than the premier league xD
@@rhyswilliams4893 Oh yes, although I think it's more of a Mediterranean thing, what with our temperment and whatnot. Just out of curiosity I took an actual look at the sackings in Greece in the last few years, the average was something like 10-15 sackings, without counting the ones in pre-season (which are a lot, trust me xD). And for a league that has 14-16 teams, you can see that that's like almost a sacking per team.
Some players become great because of his technique and individual skills. However, when you coach a team, you need good tactical acumen and man management. That is why Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte are considerably successful as coach while Diego Maradona was not.
Give your head a wobble Alfie, Klopp is Teflon at Liverpool, sure this season is not the club's best but one bang average season is not going to put him on shaky ground.
All these respective managers deserve a shoutout for sure and long lives respectively to all of them in this world and other planets,good friends!!!:-D
Howe should have had a much better career. Undersized, he was routinely tipped as the best defender outside the top flight but each season another player seemed to get ahead of him in being picked up by a top flight club, largely because most teams wanted proven players so were busy snapping up foreigners at the time.
Some clubs have higher manager churn than others, and it's NOT always to do with success; Moyes was at Neverton for over a decade but won nothing at all. Since then they've had 11 changes of manager (soon a 12th?). Some owners understand football is a long-term project and prioritise stability. Money rules and new owners are impatient. The Fergie/Wenger-type managerial tenures will soon be a thing of the past.
Your Eddie 'beheading' comment was totally unnecessary, and no way contributed to the video or its subject. Man City are just as Saudi-backed as Newcastle now are but no back-handed comment about Pep? Not approving of either club's owners but the double standards are a bit ridiculous...
Frank Lampard is an enigma as a manager. I am neutral as to his club affiliations, but I am not prepared to let go of the fact he could yet end up as a successful coach. This debate [that ruled] over him and Gerrard was as waste of time: it's painfully clear how much more intelligent one is over the other. Point here correctly identified Lampard's contestant desire to learn and that should stand him in good stead as a manager (Eddie Howe springs to mind here), but he needs to work on his career selection and communication skills. Tuchel, Potter, Conte all gone, and probably Lampard too by the time I post this - which underlines how impossible Chelsea and Tottenham are to manage - irrespective of personnel.
Slight nit pick but I don't think kloopp is on shaky ground at the moment. Most fans understand that our team needs a rebuild, he needs backing, he's proven to be one if the best squad builders if not the best in the world, he's the best man for the job.

There absolutely is a question between Lampard and Viera. Just because Viera was better in your opinion doesn't mean you're correct. Plenty of people will disagree with you.
@@areebsiddiqui758 yes of course, everything is subjective opinion. But you could say the same thing about any two players when one is clearly better than the other
I'm perfectly neutral to this debate and I wouldn't have blinked if Lampard were chosen 1. Neither am I appalled by Vieira being top flight. I think they're pretty equal in terms of career and ability, so either choice is possible.
Gary O'Neill's apathy and desire to play golf contributed to Middlesbrough's relegation. It was enraging as a fan at the time to watch him trot around leaving massive gaps in midfield.
Frank Lampard wouldn't be anywhere near the EPL if it wasn't for his playing career and he's actually on the verge of doing something that no manager has done in many decades and that's getting Everton relegated from the top flight although I suspect he won't last there until the end of the season unless results drastically improve but they look so dire at the moment that it's hard to see any real improvement
Lampard isn't doing a great job at Everton but their problems began long before he arrived and will continue even if they sack him. Their incompetent board and senseless owner are far more culpable for Everton's plight than the revolving door of managers. I don't need to remind you that Everton were in the same place 12 months ago when they had a former Champions league winning manager.
To be fair he did well to get Chelsea into 4th after they lost Hazard. Tammy Abraham scored 15 goals that season, and Mount had a very good season too. Bit unfair to judge Lampard at Everton. He started his managerial career in 18/19, so he's still inexperienced by coaching standards. Like anything, the more experience you have the better you become.
Absolute bollocks mate. Everton have been shite for years and should just go down to put them out of their misery at this point, they were woeful under Benitez and Koeman too.
@@kiriakoz I remember seeing Vieira live for the first time in my life during a pre-season friendly AZ Alkmaar vs Inter Milan. Small stadium, so we were really close to play. Seeing Vieira, Zlatan and Adriano on the pitch was truly a sight to behold. Fun fact: AZ won that match but had a disastrous season afterwards and finished bottom half of the table.
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 446) I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored. If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
@@nicolinzini520 Being from Germany I mainly saw those players in Bundesliga, Ucl and in the national team, so I'm wondering was Ballack so dissappointing for Chelsea? Because EPL aside, I think, he was clearly the best player in this list. Özil on a good day was nice though and Gündo still is.
@@ursula3438 He wasn't bad for Chelsea, it's perhaps down to the length of time he spent at the club. Other German players achieved more in England, mostly down to playing more seasons (although not the case with Klinsmann as he became a cult hero for Spurs inside one season). The list I gave was mainly on how they did in the Premier League rather than how good they were as a player in their prime. I think Ballack's best years were at Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen before he joined Chelsea.
didnt realise the Brentford manager climbed the ranks like that. that is a tough road and now he is a the top madness
If I can’t play professionally, then it’s never later to coach professionally.

@@kiriakoz I remember seeing Vieira live for the first time in my life during a pre-season friendly AZ Alkmaar vs Inter Milan. Small stadium, so we were really close to play. Seeing Vieira, Zlatan and Adriano on the pitch was truly a sight to behold.
Fun fact: AZ won that match but had a disastrous season afterwards and finished bottom half of the table.
Guardiola was good but not that good to be number one
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 446)
I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored.
If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
I rate your determination my friend
Good luck mate 🤣

@@nicolinzini520 Being from Germany I mainly saw those players in Bundesliga, Ucl and in the national team, so I'm wondering was Ballack so dissappointing for Chelsea? Because EPL aside, I think, he was clearly the best player in this list. Özil on a good day was nice though and Gündo still is.
@@ursula3438 He wasn't bad for Chelsea, it's perhaps down to the length of time he spent at the club. Other German players achieved more in England, mostly down to playing more seasons (although not the case with Klinsmann as he became a cult hero for Spurs inside one season). The list I gave was mainly on how they did in the Premier League rather than how good they were as a player in their prime. I think Ballack's best years were at Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen before he joined Chelsea.
You got it wrong, Lampard should be number 1
Lampard was gone not too long after this video was released. Good call though 😂
Arteta forgets he ever played for Everton
