Maradona-might be a junkie but he won the world cup single handed-Pele won it in a quality team Maradona had a pile of crap for teamates-either that or Zidane who also won the world cup single handed. France won the world cup with that Guivach dude who failed to score in about 30 games when he played for newcastle

For middlesbro to get to the final was a tremendous achievement in its own right. McClaren is probably the best manager englands got to offer,pearce is over rated and I think only boltons style of play went against big sam. Martin O Neill  Phil Scolari and perhaps Gus Hiddink were the top men for the job,that were available. Other than them any of the managers from the top five in the premiership.

Well it's not Sven (I think I'll put Hargreaves on again even though he's a waste of space) Goran Eriksson, that's for sure.\n\nThink it's to early to answer your question, but I think my likely candidate will be someone who's doing well with a less talented team, because lets be honest - you don't have to be a great manager to win the World Cup with Brazil!

I can't see the point of it.A manager is only as good as his players.He had some of the best players in the world leading up to 2003 world cup.Who he wants back, are the likes of Jonno (Martin Johnson),Billy Whiz(Jason Robinson),Jason Leonard,and Lally(Laurence Dalaglio)to name but a few.Once they all started leaving,it all started to go wrong. England also has a massive injury list.Hopefully Lally, will be fit again soon,though I somehow fear that Wilko's international career is over.

I think you're mistaken. Kenny Dalgish will go down as 1 of the all time greats in management. \nHe is the only player-manager to have won the Double. (In 1986). \nHe led Liverpool to titles and FA Cup victories. \nAnd more remarkably, he joins an elite list that only includes 2 other greats, Herbert Chapman (Huddersfield & Arsenal) and Brian Clough (Derby & Forest), to have won the title with 2 different clubs. (Blacburn in 1995).\nTrue he did not win the European Cup, but that was due to a ban on English teams in Europe. At a time when his Liverpool side looked much stronger than the winners of that era. (Porto, Steuea Bucharest and PSV Eindhoven) \nHe may be ranked below other great Liverpool managers like Shankly or Paiseley, but nevertheless, he was a very successful manager.\n\nOn Kevin Keegan, I must concur with you. He achieved much more as a player, than in management. But let's not forget his achievement of bring Fulham from the third tier of English football, to the Premiership. And although he choked, his Newcastle side in 1996 ,was probably their best team in 3 decades.
