The International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) recently ranked the 50 best football coaches from 1996 to 2022. The IFFHS ranked the coaches based on the top 20 national team and club coaches by year. Each coach received points based on each position:

“The first placed received 20 points, the second placed 19 points, the third placed 18 points …. And 1 point for the twentieth place. If the annual ranking comprised fewer than 20, no point will be awarded for the unoccupied places. Adding the points from the individual years of each category provides an IFFHS ALL TIME WORLD’S BEST COACH Ranking from 1996 to 2022.”

According to the ranking system, neither Mourinho nor Guardiola topped the list. That honor went to Manchester United icon Sir Alex Ferguson who topped the list with 257 points.
