What about the Sean Dyche, or his Swedish, German, or Bosnian equivalent?
I realise that I am not knowledgeable about who exactly might fit that mould, but FIFA must know surely.
Barcelona, great yes, but is their coach the main reason for their success? ...every single year?
Personally though, I don't think he's even in the top five. Deschamps will win it I expect.
How about a shout out for Sean Dyche though, rather than Martinez or Allegri?
What he did at Burnley is incredible.
I've got nothing but good things to say about the man, and so should everyone else. Looking forward to the Euro's already.

.......lost to Croatia a country of 4m.
If my memory serves me correct the one time that England have played China (population 1.5b) they won 3-0.
Sort of blows your arguement out of the water!
Southgate is on the shortlist - he won’t win it - but just get over it you mug.
I thought Croatia played alright actually, some very decent players. They are smaller than Scotland, did you know? And did your team even qualify?
What does Croatia's population have to do with anything? If you're going by that then surely Scotland have not met expectations if you're going by population.
Sorry, but the complete be all and end all is, where were Scotland?
Stupid idiot.
- Picked Raheem Sterling for all England's World Cup matches?
- Picked right wing-back Kyle Walker as a centre-back for England's World Cup matches?
- Saw England go to pot in the 2nd half of all their World Cup matches, but did nothing about it?
Surely some mistake!
