Ranking ALL 20 Premier League Managers As Players
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июн 2024
- From Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte, who won multiple Serie A titles and the Champions League at Juventus, to Chelsea head coach Graham Potter, who spent most of his career playing lower league football for the likes of York City and Macclesfield Town, HITC Sevens attempts to rank every current Premier League manager from worst to best.

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.
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
@@captainhindsight6994 1.5 seasons! Even more impressive!
@@a.b17 they've been there 2 full seasons surely? First one they were underestimated, last season and this one right?
@@captainhindsight6994 this is only their second second in the Prem!
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.
@@GuyJames Yes, exactly.
@@GuyJames nah immobile
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.
@@solchatz5871 Are you suggesting Di Canio couldn't get round the pitch?
"Wright, without further Adu" is an underrated segway to end the intro
Well said. I kinda like the way he word plays with people's names... Hilarious
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.
Hopefully you got back to sleep again after that nightmare thought!
Lámpard> Gerrard easily
Gerald should be the first. Lampard second.
@@blueshanks1 hah just no
What about Vieira?
De Zerbi only made 33 appearances for Napoli but he was crucial in us getting to Serie A. He will always be respected in the city.
A midfield with Viera, Lampard and Guardiola would be good enough to start at any current Premier League team.
that combination is INSANE! Vieira as DM, dribbling to CM Guardiola and using his vision to pass the ball to Lampard as CAM and Lampard finishes the ball ended with a goal!
Good enough to start lol? That'd be the best midfield in the world.
That would be the best midfield 3 in the world easily.
@@CFC.NobarR only now that modric casemiro kroos are broken up
@@CFC.NobarR
Matter of opinion. It is close though. For me I prefer City midfield of De bruyne, Rodri and Silva/Gundogan. Put all of them at their peaks and Vieira and De Bruyne then any 1 of the others.
Casemiro, Kroos and Modric from last season was better than both selections though, but that's history.
Vieira
De Bruyne
Huardiol
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.
Nice picture from the Venice of Denmark, of the channel in the city though.
Huh, neat.
2:33 I’m dying at the pronounciations. How can you try so hard, yet manage to fail even harder? *rolling r’s* FrrrrederiksVARK. “VEDOR AJA”??
De mangler bar den spanske haha
@@Vilspang86 😂🤣 bor ikke i frederiksværk mere, men der blev da spenderet nogle gymnasie pauser om sommeren 😄
Having always been an Arsenal fan since i was a child, i fondly remember following arteta's career closely when he was at Everton. It's still surreal to me that he took a paycheck cut to join us, captained for us and then subsequently retired with us and now manage our team. His connection to Arsene Wenger is at the very heart of all of this, and i am just delighted to see it all happening beautifully right now.
He was too slow in arsenal and slowed the game , average at best
I think Pep gad a bigger influence on Artetta than Wenger did .
As a Celtic fan I remember him at rangers and he didn’t set the world alight. He was decent enough but not top class.
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 🍒
Great content as always
This was a great idea for a video, and it was a thoroughly interesting presentation.
Excellent video, really informative. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks
Nice video, thoroughly enjoyed.
Amazing as Always Alfie
💉 💉 💉
@@amateurs7814 lol, elaborate
@@kdburner7356 Well, what has changed in the last few years?? Certainly weren't dropping like flies at any other point in the past.
@@amateurs7814 Hopefully the denial will subside, and by extension, the conditioned response to the uncomfortable truth will take hold more broadly over time.
@@wolfmauler so it's got nothing to do with the fact that footballers have to play twice a week almost year round, without sufficient time to recover when you factor in travel and training, to the point that they are rarely fully fit and their bodies are so broken most have to retire before the age of 40?
It didn't happen as much in the past because the fixture list wasn't as ridiculous and the game wasn't as intense
Really enjoyed as always!
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!
I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Cool idea for a video. Really enjoyed this!
a documentary on the afc Wimbledon on the nine promotions in eleven years, how they’re a fan own club and how they have a stadium in plough lane now.
The story of they lost the club, how the F A allowed that and won’t allow that anymore.
How they were very close to moving to ireland
How they went up the English football leagues.
It would be a good documentary video if you can do this. #thepeopleschannel
Yes ^
@@gurururuwarararara8164 a documentary like this would be good from Alfie
Is why I suggested this 😊
He did in the past I think
Amazing how many premier league managers made their name at Swansea. Great track record of identifying young “unheard of” managers.
Great topic choice Alf !
Nice
Video bro. Keep up the good work.
Excellent! Spot on! Well done!
Meticulously researched and well presented as usual
Interesting, enjoyable, different
Great Presentation.
Thank You.
great film - well done
Here before Antonio Conte Complains about his Lack of Transfer Funds for the Thousandth Time …. 👀. ⚽️
How did he not know about this he literally signed for Spurs
yes the men with small hats have always been known to be very careful with their sheckles
@@rhys_parsons3292 Makes you wonder why he signed for Tottenham in the first place.
@@bjj9711 what does that have to do with anything?
@@bjj9711a
Really interesting video and history, thanks.
The best list you have ever done
I love this series
its crazy how people don't know exactly how great Conte was
Ikr, the guy doing this vid is blatantly and Arsenal fan. I’d argue that Lampard and Conte were above Viera
Didn't hurt that he played with baggio,del piero and Zidane.
@@Incredib0y Okay now you're pushing it
@@Incredib0y I dunno man, Vieira was a great player, I would rate him above Lampard. Conte I didn't see enough of him to judge
@@Incredib0y lol theres no way Conte was better than Viera,Conte was s water carrier literally along with Deschamps and Di Livio at Juve I watched alot of him during his playing days. an Lampard wasn’t world class Viera was
Brilliant list!
14:22 that's an ambitious prediction there Alfie
Love this
Vieira and Lampard as a midfield duo would've been unstoppable tbf
Aye.
With Guardiola holding
If you wanna talk unstoppable, i'd say Yaya Toure and Viera in their primes. Keane & Gerrard would have got the better of Lampard & Viera imo.
@@rickenfatania Keane is not better than viera 😂
@@Sage381 That's not what I said, but it's debatable.
16:35 You've got to respect Logroñés for starting a 50-year-old.
50? I think you’re being kind there. 😅
I'd have to agree with the first choice *spoiler alert* especially given he won trophies in multiple leagues and for his national team
Vieira was probably better at his peak but Lampard had a longer peak in my opinion.
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.
@@The_Guy_You_Love_To_Hate have to disagree with 'easy choice'. Lampard has an absolute boatload of goals and won a Champions League too.
Didn't realise how bald Antonio Conte was as a player.
Quite a remarkable turn in fortunes for barnet😏
He was bald only in the final part of his career, he used to have long full hair for many years at Juventus
Can you do a video about the seven teams who would need their manager as a player the most (for exaple, lampard or xavi in their prime would help the team they're managing a lot)
That would basically be this video
@@therealclp7488 well i think that, knowing alfie, he could pick the most interesting ones, maybe for clubs in which their manager would have actually played. Like, i don't think that prime Vieira would have ever played for crystal palace. He could select great former player in their prime who could improve the great team he is managing, decent former player who could improve the decent team he is now managing and so on
Putting Gaurdiola above Conte is hilarious
What are you on, guardiola is so far clear as a manager and a player than conte
@@Sage381 manager, Yeah, player, no
@@m.divinepi1402 player yes, manager yes. I like conte as a player but pep was I’d say slightly better
@@Sage381 no conte is better all around
@@lhy8373 no chance
That comment about Howe is so left field considering no one says anything about guardiola or Galtier working for evil nations aswell
Need a Year Stamp in the title for video ideas that you do again, I think. Enjoyable stuff though.
Fully agree with your list.
Vintage HITC sevens
Great video! Upvoted alone for the correct pronounciation of Mainz
Also the correct pronunciation of Shrewsbury.
But he always says Hull City with an H!
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.
Didn’t you get the Alfie “I am better than thou” Hammer memo? You need to hate Howe right now with every fibre of your being. Get on the bandwagon quick before whiney douchebag overlord Alfie deems you an avid supporter of sex offenders because you once saw Jimmy Saville on tv
I was expecting a mention of which coaches were part of the last such video and how the new group of managers has affected their position.
Video Idea - 7 best dressed Premier League managers of all time
It's nice to see how many good manages swansea have had over the years
You should do that 1992-93 list you mention at seventh.
So, the Top 5 in this video were midfielders during their playing career.
8 sacks a year is a crazy stat right off the bat
Oops. Baseball term...."tell me you're and American without.." 😆
As an American coming to comment on a football video and bringing your silly terminology over here, the only sacks you should be referring to is yer dad's which you should've stayed in
20:47 I mean...Harry Redknapp literally did just that. He looked at Lampard at 18 and said "he's going right to the very top".
Grauam Potter's Premier League career may have been brief but he can lay claim to playing in one of the 90s most famous. The game where Graeme Souness despite having never seen him play, gave a debut to Ali Dia who claimed to be George Weah's cousin.
19:32
A cool picture of pep guardiola for Spain playing against Alfe inga haaland ironically
Hahhahahah I still can't enough of "Without further 'ADU' "
Go Ahead Eagles! My favourite club name in the world, just ahead of Hearts of Oak.
Eleven Men In Flight is also a goodie.
Certainly not as good as The Strongest or Defensa y Justicia
Conte’s got more hair now than when he was a player … what comeback 😅😅
Fun video and pretty harmless ranking.
The sacking of managers has reached a ridiculous degree.
Tip: I've been handing out the "Trofeo Zamparini" after the notorious manager-sacking chairman of Palermo (not that anyone appeared to collect it).
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
@@The_Guy_You_Love_To_Hate really? That's crazy.
@@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.
@@The_Guy_You_Love_To_Hate that is just crazy. I can't see how a manager builds a team if they are sacking them once a year.
DAY 87: Hey Alfie, could you do a video on the life, career, controversies and tragedy of Justin Fashanu. It'd be your best video yet and it's a criminally underheard story ❤️
😂😂

@@JoDyMa Probably a homophobe
Is he the lad who killed himself over his sexuality?

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
Video idea - the 7 best players managed by Marcelo gallardo
I was shocked when Gerrard wasn't #1 forgetting he got sacked recently
Tbf even if he hadn't been sacked he wouldn't be number 1 anyway
Eddie Howe was an incredible footballer, way ahead of his time. Injuries ruined him.
Conte and Pep was the classic"i could see him being a coach" type players! Huge fan of both as players ,especially pep, he was pure class as a player controlling games
You have no idea what he did with barca 😂

@@purpleperc1012 man’s lonely looking for conversation🤣🤣
Swansea, Potter, Rodger’s and Cooper… they really like their ‘young’ managers
Excellent video..... id probably swap Ten Haag and O'Neil but I thought the whole list was accurate.
Bro you sound like the Terry Tibs character from that Phonejacker show. "Terry Tibs, talk to me" :P
Great work but must be very frustrating for you that it's already out of date!
can you do a study comparing the demographics of players vs in managerial and front office position ?
I can't believe Frank has survived four days (and counting) since this video was posted.
Oh, you said "Frederiksværk", when talking about Thomas Frank. :D
I lived about 5 km from frederiksborg and I'm fairly sure yourcimage is mot from there... :)
How about you rank the top 15 best defensive midfielders of all time
Loool so I've just finished watching this and seen a Talksport notification come up on my phone that Lampard's just been sacked ☠️
Not sure where you find your information from but David Moyes even though he played for Celtic was in fact a Rangers supporter as a young man. A bit like Kenny Dalglish, Davie Provan, Murdo MacLeod, Scott Brown and Billy Stark other bluenose boys to have played for the Hoops.
No he is definitely a Celtic supporter and so is his father. There is an interview on the West Ham website where he talks about it. I think he would know who he supports
I thought David Moyes was a Celtic supporter as a kid?
I know Danny McGrain was a Rangers supporter.
@@sandymanmuuray He absolutely is a Celtic supporter. Like I said in my response there is an interview from 2021 on the West Ham website that he did before a preseason game against Celtic and he talks about how special that is for him and his father. No idea what this guy is talking about that he was a Rangers supporter
Fun fact: two of these managers have been accused of taking performance enhancing drugs during their playing careers. Conti and Guardiola.
That whole Juve team probably did. Allegedly.
Makes me feel better about never hearing of so many Premier League Managers until they are Premier League Managers
11th Jesse - not bad at all - If we finish there in the league happy days 😎
Young Conte looks like some weird John Travolta/Brad Pitt/Michael Scott hybrid creature.
its deffo the bright blue eyes that make him look like that 💀
Took me ages to think who was top and then I was like "Of Course, what a legend"
Not that anyone cares, but here's how I'd rank the top 5 of this list
1. Lampard
2. Viera
3. Conte
4. Arteta
5. Guardiola
Shit was prophetic with Lampard.
I'm surprised ETH is that high. I need to know more about my gaffer now 😅
Video idea.
Best manager every team has had in the premier league era
Would be very interested how this list stacks up against other of the big 5 leagues
Moyes, having played for Celtic, got done dirty.
I did it for the Bundesliga:
1. Xabi Alonso (Bayer 04 Leverkusen)
2. Niko Kovac (VfL Wolfsburg)
3. Bruno Labbadia (VfB Stuttgart)
4. Bo Svensson (1. FSV Mainz 05)
5. André Breitenreiter (TSG 1899 Hoffenheim)
6. Thomas Reis (FC Schalke 04)
7. Steffen Baumgart (1. FC Köln)
8. Marco Rose (RB Leipzig)
9. Oliver Glasner (Eintracht Frankfurt)
10. Urs Fischer (1. FC Union Berlin)
11. Sandro Schwarz (Hertha BSC Berlin)
12. Christian Streich (SC Freiburg)
13. Edin Terzic (Borussia Dortmund)
14. Daniel Farke (Borussia Mönchengladbach)
15. Enrico Maaßen (FC Augsburg)
16. Julian Nagelsmann (FC Bayern München)
17. Ole Werner (SV Werder Bremen)
18. Thomas Letsch (VfL Bochum)
Can you make a video about whats going on in Everton?
I'll talk about the basques (adding Gracia here which was not the manager of Leeds when the video was uploaded and Lopetegi too). Mikel Arteta a talent, he couldn't settle in hard years of my club, Real Sociedad. I'll admit that his diva attitude didn't help him at all .Had a more than decent career in Scotland and England. Julen Lopetegi, a great prospect from the young ranks he couldn't settle in Madrid or Barcelona but had a respectable career in the spanish Primera division enjoying some success with the NT. Xabi Gracia, a professional, hard working footballer. Not talented at all but he could run during all the match and had some scoring ability. Unai Emery, mediocre player, he had the game in his head but his legs didn't respond. He stayed mainly in the spanish Second division and retired early to become the great manager he is nowadays.
Football management requirements have changed hugely in the last 20 years.
loved the video mate but putting viera over lampard is a crime in itself
Conte’s hair has grown back!
It looks like that Man Utd have finally got their perfect manager and they genuinely look like they could challenge for major honours under Ten Hag after years of underachievement I mean the personal hasn't even changed that much since last season but they look like a team completely transformed
We'll see
Ten Hag is truly a magician. Losing his 3-4 best players every year at Ajax yet performing at a very high level nationally and in the CL. Currently with a new manager Ajax sits 3rd in the league 5 points off the top with +45 / -17 goal ratio. Last year after 16 matches we were on 40 points, +48 / -3. Ten Hag's defensive record is hugely underrated.
And to add, we had 6/6 win ratio in CL with +18 / -5. This year we went 2/6 with +9 / -16.
We can only hope that you are wrong.
@@daarom3472 a magician ? His highlight of his career is a ucl semis and that's it . What has he done more than that
Why is this recommended to m me, i couldn’t care less, these gentlemen are still smashing it regardless of playing experience
got it out just in time for frankie sacking well done
Not all great players become great managers much like a lot of players with average playing careers have been among the most successful in the game indeed the likes Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp etc didn't have substantial playing careers but have had huge success as managers a notable exception is Pep Guardiola who also had major success as a player same with Johan Cruyff but in general most of the very top managers didn't have notably outstanding playing careers
Also Guardiola was fairly injury prone and not particularly athletic for a great player which if the player goes into management and can communicate it well enough tends to work very well (see his coaching contemporary Jurgen Klopp who is probably even a greater example of extreme mental attributes making for a player punching above the technical and athletic traits)
Only Pep and Cruyff ? Do you not know Don Carlo ( Ancelotti) ? Zinedine Zidane ? Both great players and Managers at the same time
"...Racking up 20 caps for Italy, back when he was still bald." 😏 Cheers Alfie, lol....

... No. The World Cup was in Qatar. And that's terrible.
@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643(if this is your real name) fine, this can wait until 2026 as it might take poor Allie four years to research
Not a bad idea but some teams have changed managers in the meantime so it would be a bit outdated.
@@soundscape26 yeah, Alfie did look at how good managers were as players back at the foundation of the FL and saw that they were…much better. So yes this will have to be accounted for and may make doing this much harder, esp as the number of teams will increase from 32 to 48, so maybe best to do this now, even if another mention of the Qatar Winter World Cup is deemed distasteful.
@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643no it wasn’t it was so good
