Just months later, he was chosen as the new Portugal manager after Paulo Bento was sacked due to his team's poor performance in Brazil. The achievement was soured when Santos was sent off by referee Ben Williams for apparent dissent shortly before the start of the penalty shootout against Costa Rica, which Greece lost 3-5. He guided them to Euro 2012 qualification and lead them to the knockout stages of a World Cup for the first time ever at the 2014 tournament in Brazil. He was appointed head coach of Greece in 2010. He then won two Portugal Cups over consecutive seasons. He moved to Porto in 1998 and won the Primeira Liga in his first season. It was then that Santos got a taste of football management. He would stay at Estoril for 17 more years though six of those (1988-1994) were as manager of the first team. He returned to Estoril for a further seven years shortly after he had joined Maritimo. He stayed there for six years before leaving to join Maritimo in 1980. He made his debut for Portuguese side Estoril in 1973.
Santos, someone who isn't afraid of making bold decisions or controlling big names such as Cristiano Ronaldo, decided to leave Benfica at the age of 16 to continue to his development elsewhere. Win percentage as Hungary manager: 37.50 per cent. Storck's successful campaign, which ended with a play-off win over Norway, secured a place in the European Championship finals for the first time since Euro 1972. He was appointed head coach of Hungary in July 2015 following the resignation of Pal Dardai. He was sacked as manager of Kazakhstan in October 2010 after a particularly bad start to their Euro 2012 qualification campaign. He took on two roles at once in 2008 when he became manager of FC Almaty and Kazakhstan. Initially, he took a number of assistant manager jobs at Hertha BSC, Wolfsburg, FK Partizan and Dortmund.
In total he made 146 appearances for Dortmund before retiring in 1989. His biggest achievement as a player was when he helped Dortmund win the 1988-89 DFB-Pokal. He only made 24 appearances before Borussia Dortmund managed to snare him. He began his playing career as a defender for VfL Bochum in 1981. Known as quite an eccentric manager, Storck's career as a footballer was never short of thrills. Win percentage as Ireland manager: 41.67 per cent. He has been the head coach of Ireland since 2013. He also guided them to a runners-up finish in the UEFA Cup in 2003. He guided them to First Division play-off victory in 1996 and went on to win the League Cup in 19.Īt Celtic, where he stayed for five years from 2000, he won the Scottish Premiership three times. He moved from there to part-time Shepsted Charterhouse, Wycombe Wanderers, Norwich City before finding his feet at Leicester City and Filbert Street. He started his managerial career at Grantham Town in 1987. A major part of Brian Clough's Forest, he won back-to-back European Cups in 19 and was part of the side that won the First Division in 1978 despite having been in the Second Division the season before. That sounds harsh until you consider how brilliant he was for Nottingham Forest between 19. While most managers listed here have achieved vast amounts of success as a manager or have done fairly well at managing and playing, O 'Neill provides the example for the man who had a sensational career as a player but hasn't replicated that as a coach. Martin O'Neill is somewhat of an anomaly. Win percentage as Spain manager: 77.57 per cent. However, guiding Spain to World Cup glory and European Championship success in 20 respectively probably just about eased the pain. His relationship with the supporters came under pressure after Spain were dumped out of the 2014 World Cup group stages. Notably, he has won the Champions League twice. He has had three stints as Real manager and another as caretaker. At first he was part of the coaching staff at Real Madrid's B team Castilla. He retired from playing in 1984 and swiftly moved into coaching. He has been just as successful as a manager as he was as a player. He won La Liga five times and the Copa del Rey four times. He made 445 appearances as a midfielder and scored 25 times.

The 65-year-old started his career at Plus Ultra before signing for Real Madrid in 1968. Unlike many of his fellow coaches who will be at the European Championship this summer, Del Bosque did play to a very high standard.
