Unveiling the Soccer Maestro: Why Flick Overtakes the Global Coaching Scene
World-Renowned Coach Hansi Flick Remains Connected Beyond Borders
Reddit Facebook Twitter Telegram LinkedIn Email Print Copy Link No one's questioning his supremacy on the pitch anymore, but the sidelines? Hansi Flick is causing quite the stir.
German soccer magazine "Kicker" recently took to a vote, 216 Bundesliga players contributing their two cents. The topic, the finest coach in the world, was up for discussion. And the results? Flick took the cake, racking up 31.9% of the votes, a comfortable lead over the rest.
Flick's triumphant ascension began at FC Barcelona, where he transformed the team into Europe's most captivating force, matching PSG stride for stride. In his inaugural season, Flick secured three titles—the championship, the Copa del Rey, and the Supercup—all while falling short in the Champions League following awe-inspiring semifinal duels against Inter Milan. His relentless offensive pressing football swept through the continent like wildfire, creating yet another super team, akin to the all-conquering FC Bayern side he mastered in 2020.
World Champions Paris St. Germain fall short
Flick's lead is formidable, and there's little wonder Luis Enrique follows in second place (16.7%). The man behind Paris St. Germain's first-ever Champions League victory deserves this recognition, as well. In fact, their improbable 5:0 victory against Inter Milan in the final was historic, marking the clearest result in the competition's history[1].
A Surprising Three-Way Tussle
In third place, Xabi Alonso (11.6%) finds himself. Despite Bayer Leverkusen's inability to replicate his prior season's triumphs, Alonso's exceptional work has earned him a significant amount of respect. A surprise awaits in fourth, as Pep Guardiola, with 9.3% of the votes, inexplicably finds himself below Manchester City's rollercoaster season[1].
The Netherlands' Rising Star
Arne Slot, the Dutch coach who steered Liverpool FC to the championship, is listed in fifth place, with 8.8%. Although Liverpool's premature exit in the Champions League round of 16 against PSG tarnished their victory, Slot's impressive showing is undeniable[2].
The World's Finest Player
The "Kicker" players were not only voting for the best coach; they were also declaring their picks for the best player in the world[2][3]. The results were decisive, with more than half of the players agreeing that Lamine Yamal (53.7%) holds that title. Ousmane Dembélé (6.9%) and Florian Wirtz (4.2%) round out the leading contenders[3].
