List of FIFA World Cup winning managers

 * Nominator(s): NapHit (talk) 20:32, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Done a bit of work on this, taking into consideration the last failed nom, and now think it's ready for another go. With the World Cup in a couple of months, would be nice to get this one over the line by then. Thanks in advance for your comments. NapHit (talk) 20:32, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Comments

 * Wikilink the teams in the first paragraph (but not on subsequent mentions in the lead)
 * Wikilink the term manager
 * Wikilink Bilardo in the lead
 * "Helmut Schön, who led West Germany" - he's already been mentioned, so just use surname this time
 * 1974 FIFA World Cup is overlinked
 * "Mario Zagallo and César Luis Menotti were also in their 30s" - surname only for Zagallo here and on the next mention
 * "Franz Beckenbauer (as a player in 1974, as a manager in 1990)" - surname only here
 * There's an error in ref 7
 * That's what I got :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:57, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Looks like there are a few updates to citations needed now we have a 2022 entry. (Most obviously, for the table of winners).
 * Also, some of the other sources don't cover the most recent entries, e.g. a 2010 ref is used for oldest/youngest winners.
 * Text seems fine. I'm happy to do a source and/or image review after citations are updated.
 * Thanks for the comments, I've updated the refs, let me know if I've missed any. I've tried to replace the older refs that you mentioned too, specifically the youngest and oldest winners. I also had to add a specific ref on Scaloni winning, as the RSSSf link hasn't been updated yet. NapHit (talk) 20:10, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. Thanks for making the updates. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:52, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Source review

 * I wasn't familiar with rsssf.com but it seems fine per the discussion at RSN.
 * There is no consensus on the reliability of the Evening Standard at Perennial Sources, so ideally this should be replaced with a different source.
 * Other sources look reliable.
 * I did spot checks for a few sources: IMF; 2022 rsssf.com; Evans in The Guardian; Butler in The Guardian; Jolly in The Independent. No issues.
 * Need a newer source than Owsianski & DiMaggio (16 August 2018) for the information it seeks to support ("Five other managers finished as winners once and runners-up once ... Five other managers finished as winners once and runners-up once ... Didier Deschamps (winner in 2018, runner-up in 2022))
 * Unless you convince me otherwise, I think we also need a more recent source than 2018/2019 for:
 * "Carlos Alberto Parreira holds the record for attending the most FIFA World Cup final tournaments as manager with six appearances while managing five different national teams."
 * "Schön, who led West Germany to victory in the 1974 World Cup, has managed the most matches in the tournament at 25, and won a record 16 matches during his spell as West Germany from 1966 to the 1978 FIFA World Cup."
 * "Three men have won the tournament both as a player and as a manager.."

That's all on sources from me; I'm happy for any other editors to comment. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:50, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reviewing the sources, I've gone through and made all the changes you suggested. I wasn't sure whether I was going to find more recent sources for some of the above, but I found quite a few. For some of them. NapHit (talk) 22:58, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The new sources appear to be OK. I formatted one ISBN for consistency. There's a slight inconsistency in the non-English-language sources - two have the language specified but La Repubblica doesn't. I'd suggest also adding the trans-title parameter for these three sources, although I can't confirm that it's a requirement. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:36, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I replaced the La Reppublica source with one from the BBC and added the two translated titles as suggested. Thanks again, . NapHit (talk) 14:29, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Pass for source review. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:51, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Image review

 * All images are PD or CC.
 * The ALT text is mostly OK, but I think "Zagallo (cropped) with Parreira and president Lula" should be amended to better reflect the content of the cropped image used.
 * Images are relevant and have suitable captions. Positioning is fine. (I sometimes suggest adding the date taken to image captions but I don't think it's required here.)

That's all on sources from me; I'm happy for any other editors to comment. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:00, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review Benny, I've edited the alt text and responded above about the sources. Many thanks and merry Christmas! NapHit (talk) 22:59, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Comments from EnthusiastWorld37
That's all the comments I have on this neatly presented list 16:29, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * "runners-up in 1966" - pretty certain the wording in bold should be spelt runner-up
 * "during his spell as West Germany from 1966" - as West Germany manager
 * Wikilink the term captain to Captain (association football)
 * "of their respective team" - teams
 * "World Cup 1930–2018 — Info on Coaches" - this reference title should be changed to 2022 since it has been updated
 * Thanks for the comments, I've addressed them all. NapHit (talk) 17:34, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Comment

 * The only line that sticks out for me is "Carlos Alberto Parreira holds the record for attending the most FIFA World Cup final tournaments as manager." I think it would be better to drop the word "attending", which makes it sound like he may have been a guest at some of them. Harper J. Cole (talk) 00:40, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the comment, I've reworded that sentence. NapHit (talk) 11:31, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
