Van Gaal didn't play at a very high level either. The Drovers Dog 28-08-2002, 04:16:PM Lawrie McMenemy who was the boss at Southampton in the 70's was another manager who never kicked a ball at the highest levels, but he did manage to win the Fa Cup in 76 when Southampton beat Man Utd in the final, 1-0. Bobby Stokes was the goalscorer. lesik 28-08-2002, 07:39:PM If someone know others managers. please post here... Jari Litmanen 28-08-2002, 07:46:PM Lawrie Sanchez?! Bogdan10 28-08-2002, 09:04:PM Otmar Hitzfield Bayern Munich's Manager never played football! J.Karlsson 28-08-2002, 09:12:PM Originally posted by Jari Litmanen Lawrie Sanchez?! Isn't he the bloke who scored the winning goal in the 1988 FA Cup final for Wimbledon against Liverpool? Jari Litmanen 28-08-2002, 11:44:PM Right you are..... My mistake. :D Jari Litmanen 28-08-2002, 11:47:PM How about Finland's manager Antti Muurinen & Sweden's manager Lars Lagerbäck? At least I can't recall them ever playing pro. Sir Calumn 28-08-2002, 11:59:PM Did Claudio Ranieri ever play professional football? I think he did but I don't know where.

You're right about Lagerbäck -- he played for Alby FF and Gimonäs CK in the 60s and 70s. I don't know exactly what division they played in, but I believe it was division 3 or 4 in Sweden. The Drovers Dog 29-08-2002, 04:47:PM ChelseaFan88 ...................... Claudio Ranieri. Good enough to play for Roma as a player, Ranieri made his name as a coach with Sardinian side Cagliari, taking them from Serie C to Serie A. .................................................. .................................................. ..... He then moved on to Napoli for two seasons, a period where current Chelsea striker Gianfranco Zola played under him. Ranieri joined Fiorentina in 1993, winning promotion to Serie A and then guiding the Florence giants to the Italian Cup and the Italian Super Cup in 1996. The Premiership title may be the long-term goal in England. jackie4 29-08-2002, 05:33:PM Fabio Capello?
