3. Louis Van Gaal (Netherlands): Won national titles in Spain, the Netherlands and Germany, as well as a Champions League crown, a World Club Cup and the UEFA Super Cup. His past brush with the World Cup did not go well, though, as he failed to qualify the Dutch in 2002. Will take over at Manchester United in July.

7. Roy Hodgson (England): Expectations are tempered for England this year, but Hodgson has had great runs elsewhere. although much of it took place in 1990s, when he guided Switzerland to the 1994 World Cup and 1996 Euro.

9. Carlos Queiroz (Iran): Led Portugal to two U-20 world titles and qualified South Africa for the 2002 World Cup, although he resigned before the tournament after a falling out with the national federation. Captured a Portuguese Cup title at Lisbon and earned a lot of hardware in two stints as an assistant coach at Manchester United.
10. Luis Fernando Suarez (Honduras): Took Ecuador to the knockout round in just its second World Cup appearance in 2006 but was sacked after losing the first three qualifiers for the 2010 tournament and landed in Honduras, which finished third in regional qualifying for Brazil.
