*DISCLAIMER* Just for a little bit of realism in this fantasy match, any players that played under both managers aren’t eligible to be in both teams. Two of the best and most successful coaches ever went head to head in the Premier League between 2009 and 2011 as Carlo Ancelotti managed Chelsea to a Premier […]
*DISCLAIMER* Before we get too far into it, “all-time” is defined by the life span of the Premier League in this instance to try and keep it as fair as possible. Anyone who played in Serie A or the Premier League between August 1992 and today was eligible to be selected, but I selected the […]
One of the greatest managers in the history of the sport, Jose Mourinho has managed some of the greatest players the game has ever seen. He also managed two of the best teams we’ve seen, during two separate eras and for two different reasons. When Mourinho joined Chelsea as ‘The Special One’, he built one […]
When you think football, you almost certainly will think of the Brazilian national team and it’s glittering history. The famous yellow shirts are linked heavily with some of the greatest attacking players in the history of football, while defensively they’ve probably never been blessed with the best options. They’ve had a few stand outs but […]

England’s ‘golden generation’ is said to be from World Cup 2002 up until their failure to qualify for Euro 2008. Some world class footballers represented their nation during that period of time, but they failed to make it past a quarter-final stage of any major tournament during that time under Sven-Goran Eriksson and Steve McClaren. […]
A battle between two of the best defensive teams in recent memory, who won their league and reached the final of Europe’s biggest club competition with two managers who get absolutely everything from their team. When Jose Mourinho took over at Inter Milan, few could see that within three years they would be reigning Italian […]
Over the years, there is no doubt that these two sides have been among the most successful of the English teams. Since the Premier League began in 1992, Chelsea have won 21 trophies (excluding Community Shield) while Liverpool have won 14 trophies including this season’s Premier League title. So if you combine both team’s best […]
If you ask most football fans of a certain age, the first football team they’ll remember globally is Real Madrid’s Galacticos. A team put together with one superstar signing a year in the early 00’s, with the idea that they would partner up with the best of Real Madrid’s academy – hence the original ‘Zidanes […]
Two of the greatest managers of all-time, who have managed some of the greatest players of all-time. Jose Mourinho is a Premier League champion x3, La Liga winner, Serie A winner x2, Portuguese Liga winner x2, Champions League winner x2, UEFA Cup/Europa League winner x2 and a total of 8 domestic cups – making him […]
