#3 Helmut Schon
Former West German manager Helmut Schon’s track record is great and unique. At his first World Cup as head coach, he immediately stepped out of Herberger’s shadow, as West Germany finished runners-up to England in 1966.
Die Mannschaft finished in third place four years later after suffering a semi-final defeat by Italy in what was dubbed the ‘Match of the Century’. However, the golden era in which Germany won Euro 1972 and the 1974 World Cup followed. ‘The Man in the Cap’ as Schon most commonly known became the most successful coach in Germany’s history.
There are only three other national team managers in the history of the game who could match Schon's record: Italy’s Vittorio Pozzo, who won back-to-back World Cups in 1934 and 1938; Spaniard Vicente del Bosque, who became a world champion in 2010 and a European champion in 2012; and Joachim Low, who led his team to a third-place finish in 2010 before lifting the Trophy in 2014. However, none of them can boast any additional podium finishes but Low has the chance to do so in Russia this year.
His record at these tournaments was remarkable, with 16 wins, five draws and four defeats in four World Cups.
