Weekend Quiz: Managers as Players

By: Laurie | December 6th, 2008

Today our Quiz is on managers (or coaches) in their playing days.

I didn’t make this one all that hard, just because seeing these guys is so much fun, and I think you’ll enjoy looking at high-level managers more than, say, someone from Belgium’s third division. I won’t guarantee that all of them are currently employed, but all have managed a higher-level team/club at least in the past year or two.

Leave your guesses in the comments. Answers tomorrow.

Manager 1

Manager 2

Manager 3

Manager 4

Manager 5

Manager 6

Manager 7

Manager 8

Manager 9

Manager 10

I just want to point out that picture 5 (who we all know is Fabio Capello), is not a picture of him in his playing days, that’s a picture of him when he first took over Roma as manager.

Here’s a picture of him as a player:

Manager 1 – Raymond Domenech: Out! Out! He’s a symbol of betray on behalf of the F.F.F. against the 1998 World Cup team. I wan’t Deschamps!!!

Manager 4 – Bernd Schuster: OUUUTTT!!! What a horrible coach, He’s knows nothing about tactics.

Manager 5 – Fabio Capello: By Far the best coach in the world next to Blanc , he should have remained manager of Madrid.

and number 6 is Carlo Ancelotti during his time at Roma. I don’t know why I had to post 2 comments separately. Forgive me.

Thanks, Francesco. I had the feeling that one was too good to be true — a twenty-something looking sixty. I figured it was an Italian thing. (Just kidding.)

We aim to please, Rob. Or to destroy your keyborad. Whatever.

Are you visiting the US, or is our flag marker thing acting up again?

I can only recognize RayRay, Gerets, Slaven and Fabio. Failll. Where is Blanc? He’s obviously the overlooked rising star!

Posted from United States
Laurie | December 6th, 2008 at 9:59 pm

Jennifer, Blanc then looked WAY too much like Blanc now.

Rob | December 7th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
