ABSTRACT

Whatever people you come up with will almost certainly differ radically from each other in their style, personality and temperament – ranging from the astute yet distant tactician to the passionate, all-consuming teamster. There may be some you like or admire more than others, but in terms of success, a single winning formula is elusive if not illusory. Opposite, two statements by players about two of the most successful European soccer club managers illustrate this diversity of style well.
