The most important position at a club is that of the manager.
Here are the top 10 best
football managers in the world, who are currently attached to a club.
Thomas Tuchel - PSG
The German tactician is currently employed by French giants Paris Saint Germain (PSG) where he has established himself as one of the best coaches in the world.
Tuchel has guided PSG to two French Ligue 1 titles and two Trophée des Champions trophies, and has transformed the Parisians into perennial UEFA Champions League title contenders.
The 46-year-old, who is known for tactical flexibility, changing formations from match-to-match, won his first major trophy with Borussia Dortmund which was the German DFB-Pokal in 2017.
Maurizio Sarri - Juventus
The 61-year-old Italian mentor has returned home to coach Juventus following a successful spell with English giants Chelsea where he won the UEFA Europa League last year.
Before that Sarri won several individual awards (including Serie A Coach of the Year), while managing Italian giants Napoli and after finishing as league runners-up in the 2017/18 season.
Known for his intelligence, attention to detail, and his meticulous approach as a manager, Sarri looks destined to win the Serie A title with his star-studded Juventus side.
"I think he is a fantastic manager. After Conte it was not easy. He came here with his own ideas to play football and I think we have done quite well. It's not simple to play the football he wants to play but I think now we have started to understand," former Chelsea star Eden Hazard praised Sarri on BBC.
"We are working a lot because this manager is different to Conte, he's different to Mourinho. It's not easy to change everything but I think we have shown in the past two or three weeks that we have adapted well, and now we want to finish the season well."
