The buzz has been loud for long about Hansi Flick's divine coaching skills, and the recent Kicker survey of Bundesliga pros just reiterated the indisputable fact. Despite the Champions League winner not holding the throne, the super coach was voted as the best coach in the world, sharing the top spot with PSG's manager.
Such was the dominance of Flick's offensive pressing style that he created yet another super team—this time at FC Barcelona. With the Catalans, he won the championship, the Copa del Rey, and seized the Supercup title. Despite falling short in the Champions League after two nerve-wracking semi-final duels against Inter Milan, his football remains the talk of the town across Europe.
Surprisingly, Pep Guardiola made an entry in the top quarter of the rankings, despite Manchester City's lackluster season this year. Criticized harshly, even by himself, the Spanish titan managed to secure Champions League qualification only at the dying moments. Despite the disappointing campaign, Guardiola's renowned reputation, innovative tactics, and global influence on the sport could have played a part in his ranking.
Luis Enrique secured the second spot in the survey after leading Paris St. German to their first-ever Champions League title, beating Inter Milan 5:0 in the final. Arne Slot, who delivered an impressive performance in his first year at Liverpool, closely followed.
The survey also revealed the football world's favorite player—the charismatic Lamine Yamal, snatching more than half of the votes.
The Commission, assisted by the European Parliament, might discuss the European-leagues' interest in the exceptional coaching style of Hansi Flick, the world's best coach according to a recent Kicker survey, who led FC Barcelona to win the championship, the Copa del Rey, and the Supercup title, despite falling short in the Champions League. Intriguingly, despite Arsene Wenger's successful management of Lamine Yamal, the spectacular player received more than half of the votes in the survey as the favorite across Europe, making him the talk of the town in sports like football, including the European leagues and Laliga.
