Power Ranking the 2014 World Cup Managers

Posted by
Louis Van Gaal

Didier Deschamps + Franck Ribery France

14. Didier Deschamps (France)

Appointed: July 8, 2012

Matches in charge: 20

PPM: 1.7

Previous notable managerial achievements: Ligue 1 title, three Coupe de la Ligue, Serie B title

Former World Cup winning midfielder experienced immediate success in charge of his first club, AS Monaco, who he helped to a Ligue 1 runners-up spot followed by a Champions League runners-up finish in 2004. Deschamps then took charge of Juventus helping them to an immediate return to the top tier, winning Serie B, and losing just two of his 44 games in charge before a hugely successful stint in charge of Marseille.

His work as national team boss has been less convincing.
