The 10 most overrated managers in football have been revealed.

Over the last few seasons, the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Carlo Ancelotti are often regarded as the best managers in the world.

The likes of Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have both cemented themselves in the conversation due to their careers at Manchester United and Arsenal respectively.

Ranieri’s most famous moment will always be leading Leicester City to the Premier League title back in 2016.

Former Liverpool boss Benitez is in ninth place. Despite the miracle in Istanbul, the Spaniard had underwhelming spells at Chelsea, Real Madrid and Everton. Now, Benitez is enduring a tough time in La Liga with Celta Vigo.

8. Antonio Conte

One of the most highly regarded managers, Conte, is ranked eighth after his awful spell at Tottenham Hotspur, which ended dramatically after he publicly slammed his players and the club.

However, he did enjoy success at Inter Milan and Juventus.
