The best dressed managers in European football

The modern manager is the real deal: a football brain with in-depth tactical knowledge of the game, a taskmaster with great man-management skills and a motivator with immense understanding of his players’ psyche.

But a coach is also somebody who is an image and representation of not only himself, but the club he manages. And a big part of that is how they carry themselves in view in the daily rigmarole.

So below is a list of the best dressed in Europe today:

Cesare Prandelli

Claudio Ranieri (AS Monaco)

Salt and pepper hair, rimless frames and branded suits, the much travelled Italian isn’t to be left behind.

It would come as no surprise if the 61-year-old’s outfits would be as expensive as his summer signings for Monaco.

Cesare Prandelli (Italy)

What is it with the Italy national team coach and the colour purple? Whatever it is, one thing is for sure: the 56-year-old tries to incorporate it in his little way, be it ties, scarves or cardigans.
