5 assistant managers who went on to become successful managers 

#4 Aime Jacquet

Aime Jacquet led the France National team to World Cup victory in 1998

Retired French World Cup winning manager, Aime Jacquet was initially appointed as assistant manager in 1992 under then French national manager Gerard Houllier. Jacquet oversaw a couple of big wins post-France's dismal World Cup qualification run and was appointed the manager in 1994.

An astute tactician, Jacquet won the European Championships in 2000 after his success in the World Cup. An accomplished manager in France as well, Jacquet won honours for Bordeaux during a four-year spell at the club prior to his stint with the national team.

Jacquet worked his way through heaps of criticism for the majority of his spell but will go down in history as the man who guided Les Blues to their greatest triumphs at the end of the 20th century.
