  1. The truth is Zagallo is a very good coach, because we tend to forget that he is also a good player

  2. Playing and coaching are two different jobs: no one will let you play for Bayern, Real or Arsenal without a long process of learning, so why would they let anyone manage a big team without experience?

  3. 15 minutes of repeating the same thing. Kinda expected a bit more detail on the different perspective that a manager has versus a player. This video was just giving examples of successes and failures with little to no insight.

  4. Why is Gerrard in the thumbnail? He's only been coaching fir 3 or 4 seasons and has a league title n some under his cabinet alrdy. Poor choose should've chose somebody like Thierry Henry or Gary Neville

  5. Because they often start coaching a big team, usually the one where they played their best years as a player. If they had start from the bottom, managing a youth team even, and then moving up from there, they'd probably had time to develop their skills and find their own way and philosophy, develop their own ideas.
    But most don't want to put in that much time and effort in. Probably their ego take a huge part on it too.

  6. Personally i don't have a gripe with old players being coaches if they deserve it. Use my club for example lfc. Our current owners won't sign a ex player just because he is a ex player. The most tipped however to replace klopp is gerrard although he himself wants to earn that honour hence going to rangers and now villa and hopefully with time he does earn it. Like sir kenny for example. As manager he led liverpool to 3 league titles, 2 fa cups, 1 league cup and 4 charity shields. After being educated by the legendary bootroom learing from some of the greatest managers in british history in bob paisley and joe fagan. Also then winning the league with blackburn rovers in 95 and a scottish league cup with celtic.

  7. Ancelotti was part of the best Milan team in history, that one from 1987 to 1992, with Van Basten in his prime. He won the Champions Cup two times with that team. and he did not begin management "in the lower leagues", he only coached newly relegated Reggiana for 6 months in Serie B and won instant promoton back. Then Parma took him. A former Milan player coaching for 6 months in Serie B does not mean that he learned management in lower leagues lol. He had learned from the best at the highest level possible.

  8. Can people please stop freaking out about this player/manager or that. The word 'often' is in the title for a reason.

  9. There's one more thing, I think was missed. Maybe it's less relevant in the big leagues, or they just don't allow the time to makeit work. When Gerrard was appointed Rangers manager, I wasn't ecstatic as I didn't like the idea of my club being a stepping stone for a manager, and I completely agreed with what was said here, in that great managers don't have a higher rate of success as a manager. But what I didn't consider was just how (imo) shallow a lot of players can be. They want a name, and most of them, at least when it comes to new managers, will trust and follow the 'name' more than a 'non-playing' coach. It became an attractive feature of the club for a lot of young players to come to work under Gerrard. That soft power can bring better players, which can affect their success.

  10. The fact you titled your video like this means someone needs to point out the obvious: The skills that make a great player are not the same skills that make a great coach. You can have either, neither or both. There is no mystery in 'why' unless you also just ask why everyone cannot be a great player or coach.

  11. Why do former legends struggle as coach?
    Answer : they are narcissist tbt! Thierry Henry, Paul scholes and em… failed Dismal cause it's all about 'I did this better than any of you bone heads and u won't reach my level'

  12. Oh yes Matthäus,the only german to win the ballon dor,yeah because Gerd Müller is australian,along with KH Rummenigge

  13. No one is naturally talented,talent is worked upon,with hard work,players become more talent,this is just basic football knowledge,so for that sentence…
