In the best coach of the season selected by sports broadcaster 'ESPN', former Tottenham'Nunu Espiritu Santo Nottingham Forest was proudly ranked first.
On the 15th (local time), ESPN' selected 20 coaches from Europe's top five leagues who showed impressive leadership throughout the season, not performances at specific tournaments.
'A good coach makes the team 10% better, and a bad coach makes the team 30% worse. Let's have a time to honor the leader who did his best this season.
The first place winner was Santo. 'ESPN' was replaced by Valencia in 2015, Porto in 2017, Wolverhampton in 2021, Tottenham in 2021, and RT Hard in 2023. Left the team in the worst atmosphere every two seasons on average over the last decade. He's been successful once, but his career has been very complicated.'
Then 'Santu showed an amazing performance in the 2024-2025 season. He has proved that if he has the player he wants, he can achieve amazing results. 'He has recruited a solid defense (Murillo, Nikola Milenkovic) and a fast and creative offense (Morgan Gibbs-White, Anthony Elanga, Callum Hudson-Odoi). He added a strong central striker (Chris Wood) to this.
Nottingham, led by Santo, managed to stay in the Premier League, ranking 16th and 17th, respectively, over the past two seasons, but it was amazing to reach third place in April this season. Although it recently fell to seventh place in a slump, it has secured a berth to the European Club Grand Prix in the 2025-2026 season. There is still only one point difference from the top five. 'ESPN' praised the team for its remarkable performance, considering that when Santo took over mid-2023 season, the team was one point away from the relegation zone.
`ESPN' placed Paris Saint-Germain in second place, veteran Claudio Ranieri, who led the crisis-hit AS Roma to the final of the European Champions League, and Liam Rosenier, who led the French club Strasbourg, in fourth place.
Barcelona's Hanji Flick, Liverpool's Arne Slot, Napoli's Antonio Conte, Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, Como's Cesc Fabregas and Brentford's Thomas Frank ranked 5th to 10th.
Alexander Blesin Jeankt-Pauli, Everton manager David Moyes, Borussia Dortmund coach Niko Kovaci, Real Betis coach Manuel Feygrini, Ajax coach Francesco Zarioli, Horst Steffen Elvesberg, Filippo Inzaggi Pisa, Sunderland coach Regis Les Brees Dunkerke and Paris FC coach Stefan Gili took the rest of the rankings.
