#4 Joachim Löw
PROS:
2008 Euro finalist, 2010 World Cup Semi-Finalist, 2012 Euro Semi-Finalist, 2014 World Cup Winner, 2016 Euro Semi-Finalist, 2017 Confederations Cup Winner. Germany achieved all of this under only one man- Joachim Löw. He could have had conquered even more, but the might of the Spanish Empire stood in his way from 2008-12.
When the legendary Italian team of 2006 knocked the hosting Germans out of the tournament, the silence inside the Westfalonstadion was deafening. 2 goals at the end of extra time had shattered the entire nation.
Jurgen Klinsmann left and his assistant Low was appointed as the head coach and from then on, till this day, Germany is continuously regarded as one of the top 3 teams in the world. That, in itself, is a measure of what Low has achieved.
Of course, he was helped by the complete revolution of the German youth football setup after the Euro 2000 debacle. But still, he reached, at least, till the semifinals for 5 consecutive tournaments. He went from strength to strength getting knocked out twice by the all-conquering Spanish team and once by Italy.
He kept on learning and evolving along with his team and all their efforts culminated on that fateful night in Rio as they became the World Champions after 24 years. But something was different this time.
The World Cup winning German teams of before were famous for grinding out results, but not Low's team. They were ruthless in attack (they practically demolished Brazil) and solid in defence.
Arsenal is in need of a similar kind of resurgence that Klinsmann and Low achieved with Germany. And after so many years of managing the national team, Low may be enticed to manage a big club like Arsenal, to test his skills and to grow as a manager.
CONS:
There is one major problem in appointing Low as Arsenal manager. He has literally achieved nothing at club football level. Stints at small German and Austrian clubs have not shown if he has really what it takes to take over a big club in crisis.
We have already seen one such experiment fail miserably in Manchester, where Moyes was given a job he was not ready for even after successfully managing a club in the same league for 10 years. So how can one believe that Low will be able to take Arsenal out of the mess they are in.
