In an unprecedented poll organized by renowned German football magazine, "Kicker," 216 Bundesliga professionals have weighed in on the world's top coach. The results, not surprisingly, have solidified Hansi Flick's status as a super coach. This stellar football mind, who steered Bayern Munich to a historic treble in 2020, emerged as the undisputed king of the coaching realm.
ntv.de identifies Flick as a genius tactician since the inception of his remarkable turnaround with FC Barcelona, a team he transformed into the Continents most exhilarating squad. Flick delivered an extraordinary season in Catalonia, clinching three titles – La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Supercup – before narrowly missing out on the Champions League, agonizingly falling short after grueling encounters against Inter Milan in the semifinals. His propensity for relentless offensive pressing football sent shockwaves across the European football landscape.
Flick's leadership has earned him an impressive 31.9% of the votes cast in the "Kicker" poll, a clear and resounding advantage over his nearest competitor. That's right; the title of best coach in the world, at least for now, belongs to the charismatic German tactician.
Stars Align for FC Barcelona's Mastermind
Luis Enrique, who led PSG to their historic first Champions League title a few days ago, comes in at a close second with 16.7% of the votes. The French champions' emphatic 5:0 victory over Inter Milan in the final was unprecedented, ensuring Enrique's standing as a highly respected coach in the global football community.
The bronze medal goes to Xabi Alonso, who is set to depart Bayer Leverkusen this summer and take the reins at Real Madrid. Despite failing to match the previous season's stunning success this year, Alonso's body of work maintains a high level of esteem. The fourth spot comes as a surprise, occupied by Pep Guardiola with 9.3% of votes. Manchester City's turbulent season, measured against their own high standards, has seen the Catalan tactician slip to fourth place despite his illustrious coaching career.
Arne Slot, the Dutch mastermind who propelled Liverpool FC to the championship in his inaugural season, claims the fifth spot, receiving an admirable 8.8% of votes. A slight blemish on his record – a disappointing exit in the Champions League's round of 16 against PSG – doesn't detract from his achievements.
The "Kicker" survey did not stop at deciding the world's best coach. It also asked professionals to weigh in on who they believe is the world's best player. The result was remarkably clear, with over half of the voting Bundesliga pros naming Erling Haaland (53.7%) as the man to beat on the pitch.
