#2 Javier Irureta (Deportivo La Coruna)
Like Boskov’s Scudetto win at Sampdoria, Javier Irureta holds the distinction of winning the only league title in Deportivo La Coruna's history.
With the likes of Roy Makaay and Mauro Silva in the side, Deportivo were a really strong team in the early 2000s.
In the 1999-2000 season, Deportivo managed to claim the league title ahead of Barcelona and Valencia. Roy Makaay finished the season with 22 goals to win the golden boot in a season where Real Madrid could finish only 5th despite having talents like Raul, Iker Casillas, and Clarence Seedorf.
Irureta’s performance was no fluke as Deportivo finished second twice and third twice in the following four seasons. This was also complemented by an appearance in the Champions League semi-final. Though later jobs at clubs like Real Betis did not work out, he will always remain a hero to the Depor faithful.
