Looking at the list, I'm surprised in both ways;
Given we're talking nearly three generations removed, and Scottish football being a backwater, I think it's great that they even remember Jock and have him at #34.
On the ratings side, I'm surprised he's below Klopp - who's yet to prove himself at the very top - and that he's held in regard above Benitez and particularly Bobby Robson; surprised also at how low down Zidane is - #22.
Jock's considered fourth best Scottish manger behind Ferguson, Shankly and Busby. I'd argue about that, but overall I remain impressed that 52 years on, his footballing achievement still resonates outwith the Celtic fanbase, and particularly among those who catalogue and comment upon the game for a living.
Oh, and amusing to see they rate Sir Watty Smith so highly...

^^^^^^ This. 100% this. ^^^^^^
All "Top 20 Whatever/Top 50 Whatever/Top 100 Whatever" lists are always subjective anyway. Benignus is right: Jock Stein will always be #1 for us.
Silly list !
Jock Stein ( 34 ) below Helenio Herrera ( 7 ) whose team we stuffed in Lisbon ;
Bob Paisley (26) below Shankley ( 10 ) when Paisley won 3 European Cups ;
Clough ( 15 )below Busby ( 11 ) when he won 2 European Cups in succession - on foreign soil too .
Too many many other contradictions to be bothered with ....

I seen same said article and was bemused at how pep gaurdiola came in at no 5 or somewhere close. He's never had to work with a club thats had to qualify for anything and only worked for clubs who are the richest etc. It's just someone's opinion, very questionable opinion at that. One I dont agree with but at least jock is in there which is something HH
