#1. Marcello Lippi ( 1994-99, 2001-04) :

Marcello Lippi is probably the one manager in history who won everything there is in football. For a man who has a World Cup, Champions League and numerous league titles in his CV, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches of all time.

His most remarkable stint came with Juventus where he managed to revitalize 'Old Lady' and propel them towards greatness once again. He took charge after Trapattoni's second stint with Juventus ended and Juventus embarked a new era of success, legends and fame under his guidance.

Known for his winning mentality, Lippi used to instill the mentality of champions into his players. He won four Seria A titles and led Juventus to three successive Champions League Final appearance but unfortunately, won just one of them.

What was truly amazing about Lippi is he was a man who believed in constant evolution with the game. During his stint with Juventus, Italy was divided between the contrasting styles and tactics of two other revolutionaries, Sacchi and Rocco.

Marcello Lippi managed to adjust his formation and tactics according to his teams. He managed some great players with Juventus. The likes of Zinedine Zidane, Baggio, Ravanelli, Del Piero and Antonio Conte- being only few of that great batch.

It seems even after being far from the limelight, 'Little Lippis' such as Zidane and Conte are still following their 'master' in their coaching career and they have been highly successful, too. His eternal guidance, knowledge and winning mentality is still being spread by his students.
