Raymond Domenech (sp) took France to the World Cup final in 2006 despite being batshit crazy. Didn’t he pick players based on star signs or something?
Managers you forgot existed

Thanks for clearing this up. I always thought it's so strange why a top manager like him who did a good job at Charlton couldn't get a job for 10 years when you have the likes of Moyes, Pardew always circling around. Now this all makes sense.
Sven-Göran Eriksson
Kevin Keegan

Camacho is another one for you Carvahal. I remember he lasted about two months at Real Madrid, benched Raul and Beckham in a game and got sacked the day after.
He was managing China for a bit. Not sure where he is now.

Nigel Adkins
Glenn Roeder
Howard Wilkinson
Villas Boas.
ruud gullit, vialli, glen hoddle, O leary, Curbishley, Juande Ramos,
Queiroz managed Iran in the just completed World Cup
Martin O'Neill and Mick McCarthy
He did say himself that after turning down jobs after being picky he did become forgotten because he wasn't managing for a few years. Pardew was never out of a job long.
Horst Ehrmantraut. The new Better Caul Saul season reminded me of his existence again.
Tim Sherwood. What's he doing?
Marc Wilmots. Hard to imagine that he was managing the Belgium NT for 4 years.
Thomas Doll. Seems to have done well enough in Hungary.
Bert van Marwijk. Like many a manager (and player and director...) ground down by the career vampire that is HSV.
Michael Oenning. See above.
Mirko Slomka. See above.

Sol Campbell has he had a job yet?
What?!
What a midfield!
Wenger... the good one.

Joe Kinnear. Though I suppose he isn't managing any more, is he?
I find it weird how could people forget Rodgers. Still managing Celtic, it wasn't very long time from his good season with Liverpool and his names was in media as a candidate to replace Conte at Chelsea.
Was good to see Nigel Pearson again on "Goals on Sunday"
He reminds me of Ned Stark (Sean Bean) the way he talks ... and he looks just a bit similar to him. The honorable Ned Start

Ian Woan - kind of/could go in the players I'd forgotten about thread.
Googled the Burnley squad yesterday because I couldn't remember Steven Defour's name. Was having a conversation about how United signing Van Nistelrooy was delayed because Ruud got injured and said it nearly happened with that 'Belgian bloke who is now at Burnley'. Fergie sent him a letter wishing him all the best with his recovery when we were reportedly interested in signing him but of course we never did in the end.
Anyway, while I was looking that up I noticed that Ian Woan was Burnley's assistant manager. Didn't know that and it's a name I hadn't heard in a long time. I remember him from the Clough Nottingham Forest team with Roy Keane, Stuart Pearce etc. Woan was also briefly caretaker manager of Portsmouth, something else I didn't know before they appointed Avram Grant who just got a mention above.

Jaime Pacheco: won the portuguese league with Boavista, than got a job at Mallorca at Spain and got sacked for benching Eto'o. After that he was endlessly sacked until he was gone to the arab or chinese exile.
AVB - genuinely can’t remember what AVB even stands for anymore.
Frank rijkaard
R. Voller and that guy who used to manage Schalke forever.
edit: it was Huub Stevens
edit2: he's their manager again

Didn't just manage Wolfsburg but a few other Bundesliga clubs.
