Sir alex ferguson, pep guardiola, jose murinho, are all classed as some of the best football managers in europe ever, but neither had a distinguished playing career. where as very few of the best players have even went into management/coaching. zinedine zidane is about the only world class player i can think of that has went on to have some similar success in management</blockquote>
