Lippi is the 2nd best coach in the world?

===================================

Manchester United's Ferguson Named Best Coach Of The Last 12 Years By IFFHS

The IFFHS have revealed their list of the best coaches of the last 12 years, and as usual there are some surprises.

IFFHS, the International Federation of Football History and Statistics, have drawn up a new 'best' list, this time composed of the best coaches of the last 12 years, at least according to their standards. They have stirred up controversy over some of their lists in the past, and it will be no different this time.

Sir tender Alex Ferguson tops the list after winning a massive 21 trophies over this time-span with Manchester United, while Marcello Lippi is second thanks to his many victories with Juventus, including five Serie A titles and a Champions League, and, of course, the World Cup victory as Italian national team coach in 2006.

Arsene Wenger is in third place, even though he has won considerably less silverware with Arsenal than the top two coaches. Nevertheless, he has managed to make the Gunners into one of the most consistently stylish and attack-minded sides in Europe over the past 12 years, often using very young players.

So far, no controversies. However, perhaps Carlo Ancelotti's absence from the top 10, after he managed to win every possible club honour with Milan, is somewhat surprising. Current England coach Fabio Capello is only 20th despite winning league titles with Roma, Juventus, and Real Madrid, and leading the Three Lions to an impressive start to their World Cup qualifying campaign.

Here are the IFFHS' top 10 coaches of the last 12 years:

01 Ferguson

02 Lippi

03 Wenger

04 Hiddink

05 Eriksson

06 Mourinho

07 Hitzfeld

08 Scolari

09 Rijkaard and Bielsa

no, it's not tough at all knowing that we don't have that perpetual cheating gene that pervades your club and allows you to be a "better team".
