    I struggled for a third choice to be frank, but I really rate his ability with such a small squad and non existent budget. Anyone could have won the world cup with spain I think, don't know enough about the man to know what else he's achieved though.

    I can see the reasoning with all of those bar Muller and bar kompany being that high up in your list. Muller doesn't wow me to be honest and Kompany while being impressive is no better than any of the other players that are behind him in that list. Also Mancini same thing with the spain squad, it would be criminal not to win anything with all that money.

    I was thinking of Mancini's ability to handle massive egos. He seems to getting the best out of Balotelli and he handled the Tevez situation well.

    Weak link in the Spurs team for me. What about Cole, Chiellini, Abidal, Marcelo?

    Moyes has done a fantastic job with Everton, and continues to do so, but to say he's one of the three best managers in the world right now is laughable imo. I'd put Paul Lambert above him from this country alone, and then there's also the likes of Ancelotti, Guardiola, Capello, Wenger, Hiddink, Del Bosque, & Mancini to consider.
