#1 Diego Maradona

Arguably the greatest player of all time, Diego Amando Maradona was an absolute delight to watch during his playing days, possessing talent in abundance, with a skillset, close control and dribbling ability that can only claim to be matched by very few throughout history.
Following his displays at the 1986 World Cup where he almost single-handedly led Argentina to triumph in Mexico, Diego became a global superstar and is still revered till this day in Argentina, while his exploits for Napoli whom he led to two Scudetto victories granted him godlike status in Naples.
For a player who enjoyed so much success during his playing days, Maradona has enjoyed next to no success as a manager, coaching in different leagues and clubs with the most high profile being as Argentine national manager with whom he suffered an embarrassing exit at the World Cup in 2010 where Germany exposed his tactical naivety in a 4-0 quarterfinal drubbing.
