World Cup: Top 10: Best-Dressed Football Coaches

Top ten best dressed Soccer Managers by AskMen.com, this could arguably be a top 10 managers/coaches in all of sport list.

No.10 - Quique Flores - Atletico Madrid

No.9 - Unai Emery - Valencia

In direct opposition to his older colleagues, one of the world's youngest coaches is thrilled to be doing what he's doing and shows it by wearing, you guessed it: really colorful slim ties.


No.8 - Cesare Prandelli - Fiorentina
Always decked out in one shade of his team's purple...

No.7 - Roberto Di Matteo - West Bromwich Albion
This youngster may be the only manager in the Premiership that wears nifty knitted argyle sweaters under his well-cut suits.

No.6 - Fabio Capello - England
Of course, Fabio Capello knows how to rock a designer Italian suit just as well as anyone on the sidelines, but for this renowned art collector and staunch disciplinarian it's all about those trademark designer specs.

No.5 - Leonardo - AC Milan
This former Brazil International is perhaps the most purely handsome manager in the game. If he wasn't a football coach, the square-jawed bench boss with the robust head of hair could have a career as an international playboy, or a designer of men's suits, or both.

No.4 - Roberto Mancini – Manchester City

Roberto Mancini rivals Sousa for the best head of hair among managers, but it's his trademark team scarves that make him stand out from the pack. When the Italian replaced Mark Hughes as manager at Manchester City, his blue and white neck-warmer flew off the shelves, and a new British style icon was born.

No.3 - Pep Guardiola - Barcelona
Borrowing from his older, more seasoned counterparts, Pep Guardiola has blistered through the managerial ranks and looked like a million bucks while doing it. His love of knitted coats recalls some of the game's great style icons (we're looking at you, Jose), and his form-fitting suits complete with the requisite skinny ties.


No.2 - Paulo Sousa - Swansea
What is it about Portuguese managers and great style? While his good friend and countryman tops our list, Paulo Sousa comes in at a close second thanks to his dapper attire. His love of Armani coats and dark, fitted suits have the women in the sleepy coastal city of Swansea going absolutely bonkers for the new guy in town. GQ is a fan too, making Sousa their 37th best dressed man in Britain according to a recent poll.

No.1 - Jose Mourinho – Inter Milan
Jose Mourinho has a lofty nickname to live up to. "The Special One" as he so famously dubbed himself, has won every major football trophy as manager of some of the world's top clubs. But what truly makes him special is the effortless European charm, glamour and confidence that drip off him on the regular. His iconic gray Armani overcoat and effortless ability to rock a well-cut, two-piece suit and tie make Jose Mourinho the best-dressed figure in the football.
 I think Pep should have been at the Number 1 spot! See the full list with video of the managers here.
