Where does partying in the streets come in with Klinsmann though? Was he in charge of USA when they scored 93rd min winner v Algeria?
 

The thing is Man City and Chelsea outspend us by about 5 to 1 (taking wages, agent fees and transfer fees together). If you're looking at managers who've won trophies you need to look at men who have overcome that kind of financial disparity to do it.

Vitor hasn't. Lennon hasn't.

Managers who have won trophies in germany with a non bayern team, Ralf, Klopp, Magath etc have done it.
Managers to win trophies in spain with teams outside the big two like simeone or ramos have done it.
Managers like Mourinho to win the CL with a team outside the big leagues have done it.
Girard did it when he won the french league with montpellier vs a PSG side who were about 30 times richer.
Managers like Mazzarri to win trophies in italy with a team outside milan and turin have done it.
Managers in south america to win a continental trohpy with a non brazilian side like Sampaoli have done it.
And managers to win trophies in England with a team outside the top 5 have done it, so Redknapp, McLiesh, Laudrup, Martinez.

That was my shortlist and then you whittle off the ones who play crap football, haven't reproduced that success, wouldn't come here, are bellends, etc.

And I was basically left with Martinez or Girard.

If you're going for a trophy winner, picking up a young manager who has yet to get a shot at the big time isn't a bad tactic but of the trophy winners for me it's Martinez or Girard.

what about your man who was/is(?) in charge of Udinese? Guidolin? He'd be good.
