Ten current players we think will become great managers, including Liverpool & Chelsea greats

7) Javier Mascherano (Barcelona)

A similar kind of player and leader to Argentine legend Diego Simeone, Javier Mascherano seems another influential figure on the pitch who has what it takes to replicate the Atletico Madrid boss’ success from the technical area.

8) Andrea Pirlo (Juventus)

Playing in a position that requires tactical nous, Andrea Pirlo could be one of many Italians to try their hand at coaching, and many of them have been among the finest ever in the game.
