Astonishing to think he won league titles in 4 different countries, 10 in total. Sadly his international career in terms of World Cup success never materialized, might have been different if the fix wasn't in for South Korea in 2002.

It's not very often a good player makes a good manager.

Paulo DiCanio said a while ago that he gets frustrated at training as a manager because it's easy to naturally assume that something which came naturally to you is also easy for the players you're coaching.

Guardiola has a good managerial record but I'm not sure you can judge him on that Barcelona team. Ok, he's got them playing to their strengths and with passion but the players he's got at his disposal.

Ole Gunnar Solsjaer (sp?) has got off to a good start. Excellent playing record and his first management job he's won the league in only his second year with a mid table club.

My vote goes with Capello though.
