Portugal have 3 decent, trophy winning, managers with Mourinho leading the pack. Italians have multiple with Ancelotti leading the pack. The Scots had multiple over the years. Same with the Spanish. Hell even Romania, Austria, Belgium, Yugoslavia, and Hungary have had European Cup winning managers. But Greece? Our best managers have been foreign. The most successful manager in the Greek League is Dusan Bajevic. The most successful for the National Team is Otto Rehhagel, followed by Santos. Alefantos spent 35 years in management and won 1 cup in Cyprus. My theory is that no one cares about football in Greece, which is why there are no good managers. The club presidents just buy whatever they need which leaves no room for development or long term goals and plans. Even though teams have nothing to lose, the domination of olympiakos just saps everything out of the league, and a complacent football body sits idly by. If Aris or Ergotelis have a decent player or manager, Olympiakos will get them and discard them after a while. Their youth system seems to be good but while the German, Spanish, British, French players keep improving, the Greeks stagnate in a s%$#! league not getting the development, they need, to be as good as their foreign counterparts. Lax vision, lax goals, lax competition, lax governing body, equals lax players and managers.
