As football is only a few moments away to welcoming Real Mourinho’s Mourinho, Barcelona’s Guardiola or Spain’s Del Bosque as the sport’s best manager in 2010, Live Soccer TV takes you through a brief look of each of these 3 FIFA World Coach of the Year for Men contestants’ greatest feats.
Coach Jose Mourinho – From Portugal, Coaches Real Madrid
The ‘Special One’ is now at Real Madrid with the ambition of experience more adventure. However, it was at Inter that he stomped his authority in 2010.
Jose Mourinho was simply unstoppable as he led Internazionale to an unprecedented treble. He proved to football’s world that after making history with FC Porto and Chelsea, he still had the power to cross the sky. Remarkably, Jose Mourinho inspired Internazionale to defeat Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League and en route to European glory. Note: Pep Guardiola is also in contention for the FIFA World Coach of the Year Men’s award.
Coach Vicente del Bosque – From Spain, Coaches The Spanish National Football Team
As a club football manager and a Real Madrid head-coach, Vicente del Bosque won a host of trophies. Those included 2 Primera Division and 2 UEFA Champions League trophies.
Del Bosque’s best career moment, however, occurred not long ago when he took Spain to their first ever World Cup triumph as South Africa hosted the tournament. This achievement was preceded by a remarkable flawless run during the 2010 World Cup qualification stages.
Coach Pep Guardiola – From Spain, Coaches Barcelona
Extraordinarily, Pep Guardiola has emerged in no time at all from a B Team manager to a successful senior club coach. After guiding Barcelona to break records by winning 6 major trophies in his first year in charge of the team, Pep Guardiola succeeded in helping the Catalans retain their Primera Division and Spanish Super Cup titles. Not even Florentino Perez’s new-look Real Madrid squad could prevent Pep from enjoying yet another moment on the podium as La Liga’s title winners.
Now, if he failed to replicate his Copa del Rey and Champions League triumphs in 2010, he at least managed to show the public that he and Barcelona are not experiencing a decline. He might have been humbled by his rival Jose Mourinho earlier in April 2010, but he surely had the last laugh that same year – although not in the same season; just think about Barcelona’s unbelievable 5-0 trouncing of Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid in the most recent El Clasico...
So, among Vicente del Bosque, Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola, who deserves and will win the FIFA World Coach of the Year award? To know the answer, follow the Ballon d’Or award LIVE on Live Soccer TV.
