5. Campeonato Serie A – Brazil – 31 points
Beating supposedly more established leagues like the Italian Serie A and Ligue 1, the Brazilian top tier boasts a World Cup winner in Luiz Felipe Scolari to help it into the top five.
4. Super League – China – 50 points
May not be a traditional bastion of managerial talent, but with Marcelo Lippi and Sven Goran Eriksson in charge of teams there are certainly some very well known names from the dugout.
3. La Liga – Spain – 51.5 points
One of only two managers to win the Champions League three times, Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has earned a number of these points along with Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone.
2. Bundesliga – Germany – 54 points
Even with maverick manager Pep Guardiola of Bayern Munich among their ranks the German top tier still doesn’t manage to take top spot, with Schalke 04’s Roberto di Matteo chipping in with his FA Cup and Champions League triumphs with Chelsea.
1. Premier League – England – 68.5 points
Well ahead though is the English top division, with two-time Champions League winner Jose Mourinho being well supported by Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal and Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger.
