B - He has eight years of experience and has won five trophies in two different leagues. His second club in charge - where he lasted four seasons and won two titles among other trophies - is one of Europe’s most respected clubs. He has managed five clubs in total and is now in charge at one of Europe’s big teams

well i tried with all the big teams playing in this years UCL but no one fits the bill...
plus most Spanish ,Italian, German and English coaches try to get a join their own country..so it has to be a manager from a country apart from these..
it gives us 3-4 possibilities..
France
Netherlands
Portugal
Th one name that comes to my mind is Ronlad Koeman i now he was coach of benfica , ajax and psv and now valencia..i am not too sure about 5th club
and as we all know in portuga benefica is really a strong team so is ajax and PSV in Netherlands so he may have won 5 titles..
i am not too sure about the no of years of experience he has..

Answer time. Well, as a collabrative offort you'll got most except two. Some weren't easy but were cracked. Some were easy and weren't cracked. If surprised at any answer PM me. Lets start.

It is KEVIN KEEGEN. He started his career in 1992 and ended when he quit Man City in 2005. Beloved club being Newcastle united.

Tough one, I thought. But Swagat and ambujesh were spot on. It is RONALD KOEMAN. Valencia being his current club

C - His coaching career began with back-to-back promotions for his club. He has managed several teams (all of them in his home nation), but his greatest achievement yet has been turning around the fortunes of his current club quite dramatically in just three years.

I kind off knew no one would get this correct. It is LUCIANO SPALETTI, from AS Roma. When he took charge, Roma weren't doing well, but due to the Juve and Milan scandal, he has made them title contenders in 3 years

I really thought someone would atleast guess it. It is not JOSE, but our very own MARTIN JOL. The nearly impossible was breaking in to the top 4 of the Premier League for Tottenham.

But that was not the only team with which he achieved respectable success. At times in his career his brand of football was attacking and free-flowing while at others it might have been very defensive. He has won his nations’ ‘manager of the year’ many times.

Sounds like Sir ALex, but Kris got it spot on. GUUS HIDDINK.

Easiest of the lot. STEVE MCCLAREN. He was under Sir Alex during their 1999 treble season after which he took over Boro. The top class team was England National Side where, obviously, he failed miserably.


Hope you'll enjoyed. will post a few more later or tomorrow.

Since I have nothing to do and a lot of spare time in me hands, I made a new one. This one is easier and probably more fun. Its simple, I've given a list of clubs which these personalities have chronologically been to. They may be active or retired.
For example:
1. Halmstads SK ----> Arsenal ----> West Ham = Fredrik Ljungberg

So here we go:

2. Ajax ---> Inter Milan ---> Arsenal = ?

3. Southampton ---> Blackburn rovers ---> Newcastle = ?

4. Chester City ---> Liverpool ---> Juventus ---> Liverpool ---> Leeds ---> Newcastle
---> Sheffield United ---> Wrexham ---> sydney = ?

5. Ajax ---> AC Milan ---> Barcelona ---> Newcastle ---> Valencia ---> PSV Eindhoven
---> Lille=??

6. Ajax ---> sampdoria ---> real Madrid ----> Inter Milan ---> AC Milan= ?

7. Nuoresse ---> Torres ---> Napoli ---> Parma --->Chelsea ---> Cagliari=?

8. Gladsaxe ---> Hvidovere ---> Brondby ---> Manchester United ---> sporting CP ---> Aston villa ---> Manchester City =?

9. Estudiantes ---> Boca juniors---> sampdoria --->Parma---> Lazio ---> Manchester United ---> Chelsea ---> Inter Milan ---> Estudiantes =?

10. Independiente ---> River Plate ---> Real Madrid ---> Inter milan =?

Tie Breaker:
11. Mulhouse --->ASPV Strasbourg ---> RC Strasbourg ---> Nancy ---> monaco ---> Grampus Eight ---> Arsenal =?


Again.. No Google-ing... Answers tomorrow...

This one is easier so it'll be much appreciated if more people have a shot at it, even if they are just guesses...

Dennis Bergkamp.. Dutch fellow, ended his career at Arsenal, very likely.

3. Southampton ---> Blackburn rovers ---> Newcastle = ?

Alan Shearer.. Blackburn and Newcastle legend..could have played for the Saints.

4. Chester City ---> Liverpool ---> Juventus ---> Liverpool ---> Leeds ---> Newcastle ---> Sheffield United ---> Wrexham ---> sydney = ?

Wringing my hair..All points towards Robbie Fowler, apart from the fact that he came back to Liverpool..I'm guessing this one..

5. Ajax ---> AC Milan ---> Barcelona ---> Newcastle ---> Valencia ---> PSV Eindhoven ---> Lille=??

The bold part is satisfied by Patrick Kluivert..the rest no idea..so he's my guess..

6. Ajax ---> sampdoria ---> real Madrid ----> Inter Milan ---> AC Milan= ?

Clarence Seedorf.. I know he played for the last 3..earlier ones are possible as well.

7. Nuoresse ---> Torres ---> Napoli ---> Parma --->Chelsea ---> Cagliari=?

The name is Zola. Gianfranco Zola. 'Nuff said.

8. Gladsaxe ---> Hvidovere ---> Brondby ---> Manchester United ---> sporting CP ---> Aston villa ---> Manchester City =?

Guessing again.. Andy Cole.. I know he played for the 3 english clubs..

9. Estudiantes ---> Boca juniors---> sampdoria --->Parma---> Lazio ---> Manchester United ---> Chelsea ---> Inter Milan ---> Estudiantes =?

Bad buy for Chelsea and United.. Juan Sebastian Veron..

10. Independiente ---> River Plate ---> Real Madrid ---> Inter milan =?

Santiago Solari..?

Tie Breaker:
11. Mulhouse --->ASPV Strasbourg ---> RC Strasbourg ---> Nancy ---> monaco ---> Grampus Eight ---> Arsenal =?

Emmanuel Adebayor..wild guessing..
