After a massive vote by 216 Bundesliga professionals, the results are in: Hansi Flick is currently the best coach in the world. Even without the Champions League title, the "Kicker" survey shows that Flick's football magic continues to enchant the globe.
ntv.de has been raving about Flick for a while now, calling him a super coach after his sensational season with FC Bayern in 2020. With Bayern, he won the triple of championship, cup, and Champions League.
The survey results further validate Flick's superb coach status. In a close race, Flick and PSG's manager tied for the top spot, each earning 31.9% of the votes. Flick's bar-raising offensive pressing football has swept through Europe like a storm, and this season, he formed another super team with FC Barcelona, pushing them to the edge of Champions League glory.
In the running, Paris St. Germain's manager Luis Enrique came in a close second with 16.7% of the votes. Just a few days ago, Enrique made history, leading his team to their first-ever Champions League title against Inter Milan. The stunning 5-0 final result spoke volumes.
Football Flick, Magician of the Pitch, Leaves an Indelible Mark on the World of Football
Flick maintains a sizeable lead in the rankings. In third place, former Real Madrid-bound coach Xabi Alonso earned 11.6% of the votes, though his results this year were not up to the exceptional standards he set in his previous year with Bayer Leverkusen. The surprise of the pack, Pep Guardiola, found himself in fourth place with 9.3% of votes. Even though Manchester City's season included some ups and downs, Guardiola still managed to garner recognition for his innovative coaching style.
Arne Slot rounded out the top five, receiving an impressive 8.8% of the votes despite leading FC Liverpool to the championship with a clear advantage. Perhaps Slot received a bit too little recognition for his accomplishment, considering the defiance shown in their Champions League match against PSG.
The "Kicker" survey also delved into other topics, including naming the best player in the world. Over half of the participating Bundelisga professionals (53.7%) selected Lamine Yamal for the coveted title. In second place, Ousmane Dembélé took 6.9% of the votes, while Florian Wirtz garnered 4.2% alongside Kylian Mbappé and Raphinha.
