Milan’s Carlo Ancelotti was the best Coach in the world in 2007, according to the International Federation of Football History and Statistics.

The football statisticians have already named Juventus’ Gigi Buffon as the top goalkeeper and rated each tactician through numerical analysis.

Champions League and Club World Cup winner Ancelotti finished a distance ahead of second-placed Sir Alex Ferguson with Inter’s Roberto Mancini languishing in eighth.

England manager Fabio Capello was rated 11th, despite delivering the La Liga title for Real Madrid and Roma’s Luciano Spalletti finished in 15th.


The top 10 in full:

1. Carlo Ancelotti (Milan)
2. Alex Ferguson (Manchester United)
3. Juande Ramos (Tottenham Hotspur)
4. Arsene Wenger (Arsenal)
5. Jose Mourinho (Without a club)
6. Rafael Benitez (Liverpool)
7. Frank Rijkaard (Barcelona)
8. Roberto Mancini (Inter)
9. Miguel Angelo Russo (Boca Juniors)
10. Gustavo Alfaro (Arsenal di Sarandi)

Is he a great manager, or does he just have great players? I'm going to call the latter.

Like you've said, Chelsea had great players before Mourinho too yet they did not win anything... so it's not just a matter of great players. Even if it was, I don't think anyone would have done much better in Carletto's place.

But he was certainly not the best coach in 2007. SAF was.
