Europe's top coach who thinks it's a shame that Bielsa is considered for The Best award

Generally, award ceremonies around the world generate controversy, but especially in football, all these discussions become much bigger. Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the most important players are always at the center of the problem. But the players are not the only ones, the coaches are also discussed and sometimes among themselves.

The new controversy was generated about Marcelo Bielsa. Generally, Bielsa is one of the most respected coaches in the world. Fans, journalists and players love him but not only they, his colleagues also have a lot of affection for him. Josep Guardiola and Zinedine Zidane, for example, say that he is the best coach in the world.

It is not normal for a coach to say something bad about Bielsa but this time it has happened. André Villas-Boas said is a “scandal that Bielsa is considered for the Best prize”. The Portuguese coach added that “Bielsa should win a trophy” and that “he is not one of the best five coaches of the year”.

He also declared that FIFA “should draw number 10 in honor of Maradona” who died on Tuesday from a heart attack. Currently Villas-Boas is heading to Marseille (France) where he signed a two-year contract. With this club he has obtained a second place in the French league and he has qualified for the current Champions League.
