#3 Hansi Flick (Germany)
The German national team football coach is a well-known name in the history of Bayern Munich. Hansi Flick won the Bundesliga four times as a player with the Bavarian club. He spent more than eight years serving as the German national team's assistant coach from 2006 to 2014.
The former Hoffenheim manager was named as the assistant coach of Bayern Munich under the management of Niko Kovac in July 2019. When the Croatian manager left Bayern in November 2019, Flick was named as the interim manager.
In that very season, the German manager led Bayern to a continental treble, winning the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and the UEFA Champions League. In his reign at Bayern, the club lost only seven games and won seven trophies.
Flick likes to play in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, with a tendency to involve seven players in attack. He even prefers to have ball-playing defenders to serve his cause of an attacking play. With his attacking approach, the German national team will benefit under his tutelage and can become a dangerous team at the 2022 World Cup.
#2 Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool)
German managers have quite the attacking approach to the game and Jurgen Klopp is the inspiration for many. Klopp made a name for himself whilst being head coach at Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.
He won the Bundesliga twice and ended up as the runner-up in the 2012-13 UEFA Champions League despite Dortmund not having the strongest of squads. In 2015, the German joined Liverpool with the Merseyside club hoping to get back to winning silverware.
Like many German managers, Klopp too believes in pressing with intensity. He likes his players to be hard-working, sharp and relentless with their approach. On the attacking side, the former Dortmund manager prefers a direct style of play, creating spaces using one-touch football frequently.
It is due to his smart tactics and consistent preference to attach that he has been a great success at Liverpool. He led the club to their first ever Premier League title in the 2019-20 season and was also responsible for them winning the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League.
#1 Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)
Pep Guardiola has to be arguably one of the best managers ever in the game of football. His smart intellect, detailed game planning and consistency has made him a great manager over the years.
The Spaniard has brought success to whichever club he has managed to date. The former Barcelona manager won the continental treble in the 2008-09 season with the Catalan club. Post his reign with the Spanish giants, Pep joined as Bayern Munich's manager in the 2013-14 season.
He won seven trophies during his tenure with the Bavarian club, which included three Bundesliga titles. Guardiola became Manchester City's manager in the 2016-17 season. Ever since then, City have been a dominant force in the Premier League.
The Spanish tactician likes to play possession-based attacking football. He likes his team to be disciplined with their passing, positioning and control of the game. His teams are known to press intensely and most importantly, they play very well from the back. Even the goalkeeper has an attacking approach with the ability to play using his feet.
Courtesy of Guardiola's attacking style, City have reaped a lot of success in the last five seasons. The English club have won the Premier League thrice and ended up winning the FA Cup once under the Spaniard's reign to date.
