Sexiest Managers in Football

I will be honest with you, Mrs TG  isn't much of a sports fan, but she does seem to sit up and take notice when a handsome sportsman flashes up on the plasma(she is a very shallow woman). So here, just for those of you who appreciate the male form is a run-down of Armchair Guru's sexiest football managers.


#5 - Harry Redknapp
No, we aren't being ironic and just filling the list with mongs such as Iain Dowie and Avram Grant, Harry has earned his place at number 5. What Harry maybe lacks in conventional chiselled looks he makes up for with his 'triffic genetics. I'm no scientist but i'm lead to believe we find people attractive because they are potentially good for mating purposes. If you want your son to be good looking Harry will provide! Jamie Redknapp somehow emerged from Harry's viscera and ladies, he could do the same for you! 





#4 - Carlo Ancellotti
He's just a big cuddly teddy bear isn't he? Carlo comes across as a mans man but also has that Italian passion. not to mention the most over-active right eyebrow in the world. Since coming to Chelsea he has satisfied a crowd that has been accustomed to good looking managers, but after Mourinho they had to suffer through Big Phil Scolari and Avram Grant - this would not do, so Ancellotti was brought in to seduce the crowd. It didn't hurt that he also lead Chelsea to a Premier League and FA Cup double, but it was mainly the eyebrow.


#3 - Leonardo
Brazillians are a sexy bunch, so it is no suprise to find the new Inter Milan coach coming in at number three. Similar to Carlo Ancellotti in that Jose Mourinho had heightened expectations at Inter and Rafa Benitez just didn't have the chops(or maybe he had too many). Leonardo at 41 still maintains much of his youthfulness and is accustomed to Italian style. As an added bonus, should he need to protect his woman he has a mean elbow as this video shows.






#2 - Roberto Mancini
Few people can make a Manchester City scarf look stylish, Roberto Mancini is one of those people. The pragmatic Italian may have been criticised for his defensive approach on the pitch but when it comes to seduction Roberto is playing a 3-4-3 all out attack formation. The silver fox is the most handsome of the current Premier League managers and it seems unlikely that subjecting Tony Pulis to botox injections will change that.




#1 - Jose Mourinho
Yes, of course. Who else but the special one? The Portguese has had huge success as a manager with Porto, Chelsea and Inter Milan, and now the Galactico club Real Madrid has the Galactico manager. Mourinho matches sartorial cool with unrivalled swagger, charisma and confidence and as a combo it is hard to beat. Jose is rumoured to want a return to the Premier League so we can look forward to seeing more of our number one sexiest manager in the future.


Honourary Mention - Alan Curbishley
It would be lax of me, when discussing sexy managers, not to share a little incident that happened at the AG chateaux a few years back. MB, myself and a few others were sat down on a Saturday night to watch the highlights of the days action. when newly installed West Ham manager Alan Curbishley appeared on screen for his post match interview, MB, in a moment of obscene judgement, decided to say 'Hasn't he got nice eyes'. 


This was not the thing to say in a room full of high-powered alpha males. Using our contacts in the sports world, we promptly fired off a letter to Alan at Upton Park in which MB explained how wondrous he found Alan's eyes and declaring his availability for a little bit of man-on-man bonding. We never received a reply but West Ham suffered a bad run of form and each week Alan was looking more worse for wear. MB had obviously awakened a longing within Alan and it was affecting his work.


Shortly after, Alan resigned as West Ham manager citing board interference. We know the truth. Mr Curbishley has not managed a team since. We are sorry Alan. -TG
