Top 5 Managers of the 2013/14 season in Europe

#2 Rudi Garcia - AS Roma

On 12 June 2013, when Roma appointed Rudi Garcia as their new manager, the fans took the decision cautiously, but as the season progressed Rudi Garcia has shown immense class. Rudi’s Roma began the 2013–14 season by winning its first ten Serie A matches, setting the record for the best ever start in Serie A history.

Roma's perfect start to the 2013–14 Serie A season included a 2–0 derby win over city rivals Lazio, a 3–0 away victory against Internazionale and a 2–0 home win over Serie A title rivals Napoli. During this 10-match winning run, Roma scored 24 goals while conceding just one goal, away to Parma. When the little known Rudi Garcia took charge of a club in turmoil; the club was out of Europe after a season that ended with a nightmare Coppa Italia final loss to the neighbors Lazio.

Garcia’s brand of solid defensive football with high speed of their transition to attack has been deadly and effective. The club is holding on to the second spot firmly in the Serie A this season with just two losses so far. Roma’s resurgence has to be credited to Rudi Garcia a man they cautiously put their faith on, but he has proved to be worth every penny.
