  • Welcome New Managers

    We welcome four new managers to Top 100, plus one returning after a break, all from Top 120. Chris Taylor has a big job on his hands at Atalanta. La Dea haven’t had the same manager for more than three full seasons. Their “glory” days were back in S12-13 under Golden Bear and Walter Gogh!…

  • Most Last Place Managers

    I did think twice about posting this, as I don’t want to upset anyone. It’s just a game at the end of the day, and these are just stats which don’t always tell the whole story. For one thing, there are plenty of managers here who have won titles and trophies as well, and who…

  • Youth Cup Final

    Levante won their fifth Youth Cup beating Benfica 4-1 over two legs. The Spanish team dominated both games to win their fourth Youth Cup in a row. Benfica lost in the final for the second season running. Congrats to Salvo, and commiserations to Gregg.

  • Youth Shield Final

    Leicester City won their second Youth Shield beating River Plate 4-1 over two legs. The two games were fairly even in terms of possession, but Leicester’s superior quality won through. Congratulations to Doug, and commiserations to Jay.

  • Most 3rd Place Managers

    Never good enough to be a winner, not even good enough to finish second… who are the managers who scrape third place the most often? Oh, shit, it’s me! (FIVE, if I manage it again this season.) Keeping me company, for the moment at least is DP 91 with FOUR 3rd place finishes. Neil Frankland,…

  • Most 2nd Place Managers

    You’ve got to be in it to win it, so there’s no disgrace at all in finishing second in the table (even if it might be a bitter pill at the time). It’s no surprise, therefore, to see that many of the most titled managers are also those who have finished as runners-up more times…

  • Most Titled Managers

    Unsurprisingly, Scott Mckenzie leads the way. His EIGHT D1 titles alone would be more than enough, but he’s since added two more with Sao Paulo as he’s taken them from the bottom of D5 to the brink of the top four in D1. Now, with three games to play, we have a three-way tie for…

  • D1 Title Race

    83 points needed to guarantee the title… the maximum points both Chelsea or Hellas Verona can get is 83…. Of course, they meet at Stamford Bridge in the final game of the season! it would be a sixth title for Chelsea and manager James Mckenzie, but the first time they have won two in a…

  • Division One Sack Race

    The bottom half of D1: 38 points needed to avoid the sack, 43 to avoid relegation…. Villa and Valencia are already down. The lowest points totals ever for 20th was Southampton’s 12 last season, while Schalke amassed a meagre 21 points to finish 19th in S12. Fenerbahce need four more points to equal the lowest…

  • D2 Promotion Push

    Ten teams are still plausibly in with a chance to go up from D2 with five games left to play: 57 points has been enough in recent seasons to guarantee a playoff place. Realistically, the final two playoff spots are between Hertha, Udinese, Sporting, Schalke and Celtic. It would be an amazing first for Celtic,…
