Football Coach World Ranking

Josep Guardiola is the very first coach ranked No 1.

An informed answer to the everlasting question 'who’s the best football coach in the world?' is now made available thanks to the newly launched Football Coach World Ranking® to be found at www.coachworldranking.com

It’s the world's first ranking of football coaches based on actual performance. The ranking is calculated weekly by the Institute of Football Coaching Statistics; based on the results of 12,000 football matches of the immediate past 52 weeks.

How does it work?

Coaches earn ranking points in the premier leagues and cup tournaments of the world’s top 40 football countries. Additional points can be earned in the 10 most prestigious international cup tournaments, such as UEFA's Champions League or CONMEBOL’s Copa Libertadores.

As not every match is equally important and not every country competition or confederation is equally strong, results are weighed when converted to World Ranking points.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima: masters of the trick penalty

Is there a better coach in the world than Mihailo Petrovic?

Many would argue that Jose Mourinho stands on the edge of greatness after steering Inter to a UEFA Champions League final against Bayern Munich on May 22.

But he's never coached his players to take penalties like this!

With Sanfrecce Hiroshima locked at 3-3 against defending Asian champions Pohang Steelers in their AFC Champions League clash at Big Arch Stadium, striker Hisato Sato casually PASSED the ball from the penalty spot to team-mate Tomoaki Makino, who dutifully slammed home!

It's not the first time Sanfrecce have dabbled in trick penalties this season, but the first resulted in referee Takuto Okabe earning a two-match suspension for incorrectly allowing Hisato Sato's opener from twelve yards in their 1-1 J. League draw at home to Shimizu S-Pulse.
