The 2022 World Cup has come to an end. Looking back at the head coaches of the final four, all of them are local coaches from their own countries. In fact, this is not the first time this situation has occurred. In this article, we will take a look at the nationalities of the head coaches of the top four teams in the World Cup to see if local coaches are king?

The top four coaches of the first World Cup are Alberto Supisi ( Uruguay ), Francisco Olasa (Argentina), Bosco Simunovic (Yugoslavia), and Bob Miller (United States). All four are local coaches from their own countries.

Alberto Supisi

The same situation happened again in the 1934 World Cup. The championship team coach Pozzo was an authentic Italian, the runner-up coach Karel Petru was from Czechoslovakia , the third-place German coach Otto Nertz was from Germany, and Hugo Meisl was from Austria.

Pozzo

The winning coach of the 1938 World Cup was Pozzo of the Italian team, the runner-up coach was Hungarian Alfred Schafer, and the third-place coach Admiral Pimonta was Brazilian. The only exception comes from the runner-up Sweden . Their head coach is Hungarian Joseph Nagy. It is the first time that the World Cup semi-finals have welcomed a foreign coach.

In the 1950 World Cup, Uruguay's Juan Lopez led the Uruguay team to defeat the Brazilian team led by Flavio Costa, and won the Jules Rimit Cup for the second time . The third-place Swedish team continued their tradition of hiring foreign coaches. Although the team led by George Renault lost to the South American duo, they defeated the Spanish team led by Spaniard Guillermo Ezaguirre in the last game.

In the 1954 World Cup, Lopez continued to coach Uruguay, but he only finished fourth. German Herberger became the first World Cup winning coach in German history. The Hungarian team of Hungarian Gustav Sebes was undoubtedly the most tragic. As the world's strongest team at the time, they only finished second. Austrian Walter Nausch led his country to its best third-place finish in team history.

In the 1958 World Cup, like Lopez in the previous edition, Herberg and his country only finished fourth. Brazilian Ferrao became the first championship coach to lead the Selecao to the top. Although the Swedish team failed to win the championship on home soil, Georges Renaud's team still made history. Also making history was Frenchman Albert Butt and his French team. The third place was their best result since participating in the World Cup.

In the 1962 World Cup, Ferrao's physical discomfort allowed compatriot Moreira to lead the Brazilian team to defend the title. The Brazilian's ascent prevented the Austrian Rudolf Vitracher from becoming the first foreign World Cup winning coach, and the Czechoslovak team also missed the World Cup again. The host Chile also created team history by winning third place under the leadership of local coach Fernando Leyla. Yugoslavian Hugo Rusevlhanen could only finish fourth.

In the 1966 World Cup, Sir Ramsey helped the Three Lions win their only World Cup title so far. The German Schon would definitely not be satisfied with this result. Whether Hurst's goal scored or not ruined the possibility of the Germans winning the cup for the second time. The Portuguese team in this cup is impressive. Their head coach is Gloria from Brazil. The third place is the Portuguese team's best result so far. The Soviet team led by Soviet Nikolai Morozov also achieved their best World Cup result.

In the 1970 World Cup, former Brazilian champion Zagallo led the Selecao to permanently retain the Jules Rimit Cup. Valcaregui, who lost in this three-way battle, was as sad as the color of his home country's jersey. Shaun's team still did not win the championship. They were the third place that year. The fourth place this year was the Uruguay team led by Argentinian Juan Oberg.

In the 1974 World Cup, Shaun finally cleared away the gloom and successfully won the World Cup held in his hometown, becoming the first head coach to win the Hercules Cup. Although Michels and his Dutch team unfortunately lost, the total offense and total defense style he pioneered had a profound impact. Without Pele and other stars, Zagallo was unable to do anything, and ultimately only finished fourth. The one who defeated them was the Polish team led by Polish Gerski.

In the 1978 World Cup, Menotti refused to recruit the talented young man Maradona , but this did not prevent him from leading his country to win the first World Cup on home soil. Without Cruyff , the Dutch team reached the final again under the leadership of Austrian coach Happel, but failed again. Because Argentina unexpectedly defeated Peru in the last game of the second round of the group stage, the Brazilian team coached by Claudio Coutinho only finished third. The fourth-place coach is Italian Bearzot.

In 1982, Bearzot completed a counterattack and helped his motherland win the World Cup again after many years. They defeated the Federal Republic of Germany led by German Deval. The Polish Picnicek once again brought his homeland to the third place, which is the last honor of Polish football. Two years later, Frenchman Michel Hidalgo, the European Championship champion coach, also brought his homeland back to the semi-finals.

The 1986 World Cup was Maradona's World Cup, and Argentine head coach Bilardo became the second Argentine head coach to win the cup. Faced with such a powerful opponent, even the Federal Republic of Germany, led by Beckenbauer , was helpless. Although having Platini , Frenchman Henri-Michel only brought the French team to the third place. It was Guy Thys who brought his home country of Belgium to unprecedented heights.

In the 1990 World Cup, Beckenbauer finally succeeded in revenge and defeated Bilardo to become the World Cup champion. The fans of the host country will definitely not be satisfied with the third place result, and Vicini is naturally to blame. England fans would never have thought that the England team led by Robson would be the best in a long time.

In the 1994 World Cup, Pereira, who gave up his gorgeous style of play, helped the Selecao win the cup again after 24 years. Sacchi, who created brilliance in AC Milan , could only regret to finish second. The Swedish team also won third place again after many years. This time their coach was Svensson of his country. The biggest dark horse in this tournament is undoubtedly the team of Bulgarian Penev.

In the 1998 World Cup, veteran coach Zagallo came out again, but fell short in the final and failed to defend the title. The Frenchman Jacquet became a hero across France, helping the team win the championship on home soil. Croatia , which participated in the World Cup for the first time, also became a dark horse under the leadership of Blazevic and won third place. Hiddink and his Dutch team, despite their luxurious lineup, could only finish fourth.

In the 2002 World Cup, Scolari's Selangor Legion became a five-star Brazil with a complete victory record. Although Voller's Germany only finished second, it was good enough for German football in its trough period. Gunes and his Türkiye won third place and became the biggest dark horse of the year. Although the fourth-place coach Hiddink is the first foreign coach since Happel in 1978, everyone knows how the Koreans advanced.

html In the 2006 World Cup, Scolari moved to Portugal, and the golden generation also ended its World Cup journey with a fourth place. Although the German team only finished third and failed to win the championship on home soil, Klinsmann's new German tank gave people hope. If it weren't for Zidane, star master Domenech might have been a World Cup winning coach, but without Zidane he might be nothing. In the summer of 2006, Silver Fox Lippi reached the peak of his coaching career.

html In the 2010 World Cup, Tavares, who returned to Uruguay as coach, led the Uruguay team to the semi-finals of the World Cup again after 40 years.Although Loew's Germany is still in third place, his temperament and the youthful storm of the German team have attracted a large number of fans. The somewhat ugly coaching style of van Marwijk allowed the Dutch team to reach the World Cup finals for the first time since 1978, but still could not change the fate of the uncrowned king. The Spaniard Bosque became the winner this summer, and the Matador Legion was crowned the first championship in team history.

In Brazil in 2014, Loew finally led the German team back to the top after many failures. This time they defeated their old rival Argentina. Savilla failed to become the coach who helped Messi be crowned the world champion. For Scolari, who has returned to the position of coach of the Brazilian team, the memory of this summer is not good. He was beaten by Germany in the semi-finals and lost to the Dutch team of van Gaal by three goals in the third place game.

html In Russia in 2018, the former champion captain Deschamps helped his motherland win the Hercules Cup for the second time. Although Dalic and his Croatia lost the final, they also created their own history. Spaniard Martinez led Belgium's golden generation to third place in this World Cup. He is also the latest foreign coach to lead the team to the podium. Southgate led the Three Lions to the semi-finals for the first time in 28 years.
