Every football fan will have their opinions on the best managers of all time, and this AI-generated ranking is only likely to reinforce some of the existing disagreements
Football supporters love comparing the merits of players and clubs from different eras, and it’s no different where managers are concerned.
If you pick a dozen fans at random then stick them together in one room and ask them to name the greatest 10 managers of all time, the odds of producing 12 identical answers are tiny. Even the chances of everyone’s top pick being the same is pretty slim.
Mirror Football has decided to take a slightly different approach this week, asking ChatGPT to provide a ranking. For those unaware, ChatGPT is a language processing tool aided by artificial intelligence technology, but that doesn’t mean you can’t disagree with its ranking of the 10 best managers of all time.
With only 10 spots to fill and decades of football history to factor in, some big names have inevitably missed the cut. These include Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp – a man who many consider among the best to ever manage a Premier League team – and multiple Champions League-winning boss Carlo Ancelotti.
