Being a soccer manager in today's world has undoubtedly been made more difficult by today's media. With sports journalist's and former players seemingly not holding back when scrutinizing a manager's decision. A legacy such as the one Sir Alex Ferguson's historic 26 years with Manchester United, which included 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, and two UEFA Champions League titles among other, is a long forgotten trade.
A manager's lifespan is usually around two to four years. With respective club hierarchies never second guessing laying down the axe when things start to go wrong.
A successful and respected coach requires not only a level of pedigree but the skill of man management. For example, it's highly unlikely Atletico's Madrid high-intensity defensive minded approach would be carried out by the squad if Diego Simeone wasn't in the dugout. His world renowned high intensity training sessions which ends up leaving players exhausted is only completed due to the players respect and trust on El Cholo Simeone.
