Good start by PNP

 

2.) Jan Molby

5.) Win back-to-back World Cups (1934-8)

 

Is 10 Colin?

 

Nah, he's never lost a game.

Not in his own mind, at least.

 

3 is Ruud Gullitt.

 

I'm trying to think of one of those managers that always gets given another job, despite being ****e.
Peter Reid? Is it someone less obvious, like Moyes?

 

Or it might be someone who's just been around a long time.

 

Wenger? Seems a little high, if true. Redknapp?

 

I'm tempted to say Joe Jordan for #9, but surely he's caretakered more than once?

 

#9 was an assistant to some very successful managers - one in particular

 

Thanks for the giveaway clue, that'll be Archie Knox.

 

Is 8 something to do with the Catalan side? First manager, perhaps?
No idea who the other Frenchman is, but I'm sure it's bloody obvious.

 

To be more specific about #8, he achieved a feat more associated with managers of the big two

The French manager might be Reggie's Gallic relative? (we don't want to be here all night )

 

Won La Liga?
Alain Perrin. Portsmouth.

 

He did a bit more than win La Liga

 

Won La Liga and then did a little dance?
The name sounds very familiar, but I just can't place him, for some reason. Lack of sleep, probably.

 

It's a bit of a cheat actually, but I thought someone might know/remember.

He paraded through the streets of Madrid on an elephant after Atletico Madrid won the double. He wasn't the manager really, but the owner/president/chairman/general egomaniac - Raddy Antic was the "coach" i.e manager to us

 

I was going to say Rafa B for number 6.
