 1.31 Charisma comes in many guises but it’s the one characteristic that all great
leaders share.

1.39 On this edition of The Short List, we’re counting down the top 10 charismatic
football managers.

1.46 The self-assured.

1.47 SOUNDBITE (English) JOSE MOURINHO

“I think I'm a special one.”

1.50 The proudly passionate.

1.52 SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) SEAN DYCHE

“Title fight? Get in there! Get in there!

1.57 Gaffers with the gift of the gab.

OPENING TITLES

BUMPER: #10 - SEAN DYCHE

2.28 Sean Dyche is so funny we’re going to let the Burnley manager do all the talking.

2.35 SOUNDBITE (English) Sean Dyche

“Hi.”

2.38 This is how he ‘carefully’ defuses a media beat-up.

2.41 SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH)

REPORTER: “What will that do Sean for you, for your title fight now?
SEAN DYCHE: Title fight? Get in there! Get in there! You beauty. C’mon you,
love that. I didn’t say it, no headlines. I did not say ‘we’re in a title fight.’ The
media said that we are in a title fight ok?
REPORTER: Hashtag believe.
SEAN DYCHE: Wow. Yeah, what happened there?”

3.05 Dyche is also a master of diplomacy, especially when it comes to the delicate
subject of refereeing.

3.12 SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) Sean Dyche

“It’s a penalty, I’m amazed there’s a sending off. And wholeheartedly

SCRIPT: THE SHORT LIST - EPISODE 067 © INVERLEIGH MEDIA HOLDINGS PTY LTD 4
 disappointed there’s a sending off. I think there was a stadium full of people
off who were very surprised there was a sending off. I can only imagine their
manager was surprised there was a sending off, I don’t know. Their staff
were certainly surprised there was a sending off. I think the subs
(substitutes) were surprised there was a sending off. I think the
groundsmen were surprised there was a sending off. The linesman was
surprised there was a sending off. I think there was a tube station nearby
that was surprised there was a sending off. But other than that, not a
problem (laughter).”

3.42 He pitches in with the Premier League club’s marketing and finance departments.

3.49 SOUNDBITE (English): Sean Dyche

"What sort of marketing could we get out of that? Fortunes, there'll be

people writing in - 'can you send us one of them? "Seriously mate, it's half a
billion quid's worth over seven years we spent on that.”

4.09 And he also knows how to look after the sponsors, but his children... Ahhh, not so
much....

4.17 SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) SEAN DYCHE

Title Fighting Manager
“They’ll not make it home for the kids. They will not make it home. They’ll be
gone. They’re beautiful, them cream eggs. Them creme. Oh Cadburys, oh I
love Cadbury stuff. Here you are, do you want a cream egg, bless you?
Been known to put smiles on all sorts of faces. We finish on that one? Ok.
thank you.”

4.42 No, thank you, Sean.

BUMPER: #9 - BILL SHANKLY

4.55 When it comes to charisma, Liverpool icon Bill Shankly certainly wasn’t lacking.

5.04 The Scotsman knew how to captivate an audience - his enthusiasm, intensity and
passion for the game were infectious.

5.14 While he was a reliable right-back who played 313 league games in England and
represented his country on five occasions, it's the 15 years he spent as Liverpool
manager that sees him a revered figure.

5.30 As the gaffer of one of world football’s biggest clubs, the public wants to hear from
SCRIPT: THE SHORT LIST - EPISODE 067 © INVERLEIGH MEDIA HOLDINGS PTY LTD 5
 you and Shankly didn’t let them down.

5.40 Naturally, he quickly won over the Anfield faithful - a major stakeholder Shankly
drilled into his players they were “privileged” to represent.

5.53 While he conceded his devotion to the game did impact on his own family life, he
believed “Liverpool was made for me and I was made for Liverpool.”

6.05 And considering his demand for an all or nothing approach, his views on winning
shouldn't surprise you: If you are first you are first. If you are second you are
nothing. Liverpool fans are eternally grateful.

6.24 This winning mindset led to the Reds claiming three first division titles, two FA
Cups and a UEFA Cup under his reign but, just as importantly, he set the club up
for sustained success after his retirement in 1974.

6.41 But what Shankly is remembered for most is what football meant to him.

6.48 “Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I’m very disappointed
with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.”

6.59 Maybe it was a little tongue-in-cheek but it’s a mantra many football fans live by.

8.05 We’re counting down the top 10 charismatic football managers - the gaffers with
panache, and at eight is Italian who isn’t short on personality.

BUMPER: #8 - ANTONIO CONTE

8.19 Antonio Conte knew what he was getting himself into when he took on the

SCRIPT: THE SHORT LIST - EPISODE 067 © INVERLEIGH MEDIA HOLDINGS PTY LTD 6
 Chelsea job in 2016 - billionaire owner Roman Abramovich has a habit of
disposing of managers like yesterday's newspaper.

8.37 The lovable Italian arrived after steering Juventus to three straight Serie A titles
between 2012 and 2014, and a stint with the Italian national team. He had the
credentials, and the charisma, required for one of football’s toughest gigs.

8.58 Upon arriving at Stamford Bridge, he was pleasantly surprised by the motivational
practices used by his new charges.

9.07 SOUNDBITE (English): Antonio Conte

“In England there is the habit that before the game there is music in the
changing room. It's incredible because in Italy this situation doesn't exist.
Great, and it's a new habit for me and I'm trying to adapt.
Q. What music would you choose if it was up to you?
"Discotheque music. Boom, boom!

9.38 While he loves to bust a move, Conte wasn’t taking a backward step when
counterpart Jose Mourinho said his touchline antics resembled a clown.

9.47 SOUNDBITE (English): Antonio Conte

" Sometimes I think that there is, I don't know the name 'demenza senile'
(senile dementia), when you forget. (Touches head) When you forget what
you have done in the past.”

10.13 After winning the Premier League title in his first season, the Blues weren’t going
as well the next, so in a bid to turn their fortunes around, Conte took his wife’s
advice.

10.25 SOUNDBITE (English): Antonio Conte

“We can see tomorrow if this beard brings luck or not. But I repeat, this is
the first time I've tried to change my look, but only because my wife
decided. I hope at the end of the season to finish with a big beard."

11.03 But like his beard, Chelsea didn’t flourish that campaign, and despite winning the
FA Cup, Conte was sacked at season’s end after just two years at the helm.

SCRIPT: THE SHORT LIST - EPISODE 067 © INVERLEIGH MEDIA HOLDINGS PTY LTD 7
 11.10 We told you it was a tough gig.

BUMPER: #7 - IAN HOLLOWAY

11.22 Charlie Adam. Crystal Palace and….Crystal balls.

11.30 What do they all have in common? They all start with the letter C. But also,
they’ve been blessed to be the subjects of English manager Ian Holloway’s left-of-
centre contemplations.

11.44 When Charlie Adam’s star grew brighter for Blackpool in the English Premier
League, other clubs began to sniff around for the midfielder’s signature but his
coach wasn’t having a bar of it.

11.57 “Dream on! If they want to insult me by only offering £3.5 million, and then get it all
over the paper and try to upset me, well, sorry, they’re barking up the wrong tree,
they’re messing with the wrong dog and I’ll come and bite them.”

12.14 When Crystal Palace’s 2012-2013 campaign was going to the... dogs, Holloway
responded with some words of motivation...

12.27 “We need to tweak the nose of fear and stick an ice cube down the vest of terror.”
Awe-inspiring.

12.37 And now we get to the crystal ball part, and ahead of a clash with Manchester
United in the 2013-2014 season, Holloway was in need of one when asked if the
Glaziers could beat the Premier League powerhouse.

“I am a football manager. I can’t see into the future. Last year I thought I was
going to Cornwall on my holidays but I ended up going to Lyme Regis.”

13.02 For the record, Palace lost two-nil and just a month later Holloway went on
‘holiday’ from the club permanently...

BUMPER: #6 - HARRY REDKNAPP

12.20 Harry Redknapp calls a spade a spade - as this media banner found.

13.26 SOUNDBITE (English) Harry Redknapp

SCRIPT: THE SHORT LIST - EPISODE 067 © INVERLEIGH MEDIA HOLDINGS PTY LTD 8
 “We’re a team, you’ll have to understand..fu@#king thing…”

13.31 The Englishman, with his trademark cockney accent, has so many other qualities
to his personality so let's whip through a few of them.

13.42 He’s a caring soul. When in charge of Southampton, he found an effective remedy
for an injury to Trinidadian Kenwyne Jones: “He took a knock on his ankle but we
played him some Bob Marley reggae music and he was fine.”

14.01 Harry is also understanding, especially when it comes to his partner: "I sorted out
the team formation last night lying in bed with the wife. When your husband's as
ugly as me, you'd only want to talk football in bed."

14.21 Even as a very busy gaffer, Redknapp was still very giving with his time: “After
shooting practice yesterday, I had to drive up the M27 and collect four balls.”

14.37 And Harry loves animals, especially his dog Rosie. “I still don’t like calling her a
dog, she was so much better than that.”

14.51 It’s not hard to see why Arry sits at number six on this list.

BUMPER: #5 - ARSENE WENGER

15.06 Arsene Wenger survived 22 years in the English Premier League jungle - just
think about that for a second.

15.15 If you’re wondering how the Arsenal icon managed to do it, let us enlighten you.

15.23 Winning three league titles and a record seven FA Cups certainly helped, but
successful managers need a vast skill set to deal with the all-encompassing
nature of the job...like keeping up with the latest training techniques.

15.39 SOUNDBITE: (English) Arsene Wenger

“We’ve been through this; first we cross, then we weave.”
Player: “Don’t know what happened there, boss, the kids will be so upset.”

16.00 Wenger is able to forgive and forget.

16.05 SOUNDBITE (English) ARSENE WENGER

SCRIPT: THE SHORT LIST - EPISODE 067 © INVERLEIGH MEDIA HOLDINGS PTY LTD 9
 Reporter: “You've worked with Arsene Wenger and you've also worked with
Alex Ferguson, do you think we'll ever see…”
Wenger: "We are friends now, Alex Ferguson and myself._

16.17 The Frenchman was aided by the unwavering support of his mates.

16.22 SOUNDBITE (English) ARSENE WENGER

[Q: I know you don't like to spend money...]
"No I don't agree with you. And if I invite you [out] one night, you will see
that I like to spend money."
[Inaudible question]
"Sorry? It's you the press that gave me that reputation, but my friends don't
think that."

16.45 Having a thick skin sure helps.

16.49 SOUNDBITE (English) ARSENE WENGER

Q. The figures in the public domain take your spending in this transfer
window to about 100 million pounds in this window, does that put to bed...
Wenger: [interrupts]"You accuse me now of being a money spender?"
[laughter]

17.03 And a never-say-die attitude until the very end.

17.08 SOUNDBITE (English) ARSENE WENGER

“You are in a jungle where everybody wants to eat you. And you have to
survive by keeping your vigilance. That's what competition is about. So
every day you have to fight again to survive.

PART THREE

PLAYON

18.36 We’re counting down the top 10 charismatic football managers - the gaffers with
the gift of the gab, and at four is a man with a load of redeeming features.

BUMPER: #4 - JOSE MOURINHO

18.56 Whether you love him or loathe him, there’s no doubt Jose Mourinho belongs on
this list.

19.04 The Oxford Dictionary states charismatic means charming, fascinating, full of
personality and strong in character. Jose definitely ticks all those boxes.

19.15 The prickly Portugese is renowned for having strong character in press
conferences.

19.22 SOUNDBITE (English) Jose Mourinho

“Click Google instead of making stupid questions. Click Google and try to
find.”

19.28 And if you’ve done your research, as Jose suggests, you’ll know he’s a world-
class manager who oozes charm.

19.36 SOUNDBITE (English) JOSE MOURINHO

“I am European champion so I'm not one of the bottle - I think I'm a special
one.”

19.47 The fascination with him extends way beyond football.

19.50 SOUNDBITE (English) Jose Mourinho

Reporter: May I ask who you were on the phone to?
Answer: My wife
Reporter: You just were ringing to tell her you won?
Answer: Yes

SCRIPT: THE SHORT LIST - EPISODE 067 © INVERLEIGH MEDIA HOLDINGS PTY LTD 11
 Reporter: What does that mean, good night tonight?
Answer: We have to train tomorrow. We have to train tomorrow

20.05 His huge personality is a hit with all football fans. Well, that's what he thinks,
anyway...

20.13 SOUNDBITE (English) Jose Mourinho

Reporter: “Can you be respected and loved?”
Answer: “I have lots of love. Oh my god. Lots of love, no problem. If you say
the truth, people will fall in love, but you have to say the truth.”

20.30 Amen, Jose.

BUMPER: #3 - CLAUDIO RANIERI

20.42 Claudio Ranieri certainly has a lust for life.

20.48 SOUNDBITE (English) CLAUDIO RANIERI

(Laughing)

20.53 The Italian is one of the most likeable figures in the game.

20.59 SOUNDBITE (English) CLAUDIO RANIERI

“Hey you are sleeping (rings bell) come on.”

21.09 Across his managerial career, he has tried his hand at many clubs - 15 to be
exact - but it’s his time at Leicester City that really stands out.

21.19 So when he arrived in 2015, the Foxes were at the bottom of the ladder and
needed motivating, so Ranieri didn’t dilly dally around, he... dilly dinged and dilly
donged.

21.32 SOUNDBITE (English) CLAUDIO RANIERI

"No because from the beginning, when something was wrong I say ''Dilly
ding, dilly dong, wake up, wake up' during all the training sessions. Dilly
ding, dilly dong.”

21.43 You heard that right, Ranieri serenaded his charges to fire them up - and it

SCRIPT: THE SHORT LIST - EPISODE 067 © INVERLEIGH MEDIA HOLDINGS PTY LTD 12
 worked. Spectacularly!

21.53 When Leicester qualified for the Champions League, he used the same method
on the press - he wanted them to wake up to the fact that the Foxes had arrived.

22.02 SOUNDBITE: Claudio Ranieri (English)

"Hey man, we're in Champions League. We're in Champions League man.
Dilly ding, dilly dong come on. You forget. You speak about 'Blah Blah Blah'
but we are in Champions League. Come on man.

22.16 While they didn’t go all the way in Europe, the Foxes remarkably, and
unforgettably, won the 2016 Premier League title… and as for the song, it was
certainly part of the celebrations.

22.31 SOUNDBITE (English)

(Singing)
“Dilly ding, dilly dong.”

BUMPER: #2 - SIR ALEX FERGUSON

22.56 Most people will say Sir Alex Ferguson is more known for his gravitas than his
charisma. It was the brand of football his sides produced that provided peak-
entertainment, more so than Fergie’s personality.

23.12 But the most successful manager of all time had a 40-year-long career that
amused and entertained the masses; whether he was trying to or not.

23.25 A famous incident in Manchester saw Ferguson kick a boot towards David
Beckham at half time, for his poor performance in the first 45. Beckham forgave
his gaffer, but the story quickly made its way into football folklore.

23.39 SOUNDBITE (English) David Beckham

“He came into the changing room and we had a couple of words. He started
to walk over to me and he kicked a pile of clothes on the floor and out came
this boot. I worked out just how accurate he was”

23.57 Fergie was just as impressed with his accuracy.

SCRIPT: THE SHORT LIST - EPISODE 067 © INVERLEIGH MEDIA HOLDINGS PTY LTD 13
 24.01 “If I tried it a 100 or a million times, it wouldn’t happen again. If I could do it, I
would go back to playing football instead of managing”.

24.11 Then there was his rivalry with former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger which
culminated in an event known as pizza-gate. Fergie and his players had riled up
the opposition so much after the final whistle, that Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas
threw a slice of pizza at Sir Alex.

24.31 The Scotsman later said of the incident, without a hint of irony, "Their behaviour
was the worst thing I have seen in this sport. They got off scot-free.”

24.46 Says the man who went around booting boots...

24.53 But as we found out earlier, he did make peace with Wenger.

25.01 Post-retirement, Fergie finally had some time to go on a stand-up tour. The first
stop on the international comedy circuit...Nuremburg, Germany.

25.11 SOUNDBITE (English) Sir Alex Ferguson

"You have to understand, my German isn't very good, unfortunately, my
English isn't as well. But my Scottish is perfect.”

25.29 English football was always certain to become a duller place without Sir Alex, but
the next person on our list has helped fill the void.

SCRIPT: THE SHORT LIST - EPISODE 067 © INVERLEIGH MEDIA HOLDINGS PTY LTD 14
 BUMPER: #1 - JURGEN KLOPP

26.54 SOUNDBITE (English) Jurgen Klopp

“No microphone tonight? No microphone, oh.”

27.04 Don't worry, Jurgen, you’re coming in loud and clear...

27.10 ...and it’s just as well because when Jurgen Klopp speaks, it’s worth listening to
for so many reasons.

27.18 The German’s football acumen has seen him steer Borussia Dortmund to two
Bundesliga titles, and he backed up those feats by guiding Liverpool to a
Champions League title in his fourth season at the club.

27.32 But that’s not why he tops this list - it’s his infectious personality that makes him
one of the most loved figures in world sport...

27.42 ...just don’t ask him for a selfie.

27.47 SOUNDBITE (English) JURGEN KLOPP

“They ask me for a photo, I say of course. The next day it’s in the
newspaper. They give me the photo, ‘you were there, you were there.’ It
looks like I’m always in restaurants and bars.”

27.57 While his English is improving everyday, you’ll have to ‘excuse his French.’

28.07 SOUNDBITE (English) JURGEN KLOPP

“I didn't know this word before I came to England, but hamstring is the s**t
word of the year for me. It's always hamstring, hamstring, hamstring.”

28.16 SOUNDBITE (English) Jurgen Klopp

“We stay in the race there is no doubt about this but tonight we feel rubbish.
Liverpool press officer to Klopp: you can say shit.
Klopp: Shit.

SCRIPT: THE SHORT LIST - EPISODE 067 © INVERLEIGH MEDIA HOLDINGS PTY LTD 15
 28.28 Greasing the palm of Anfield greats makes life easier at the Kop for Klopp.

28.34 SOUNDBITE (English) JURGEN KLOPP

Reporter: “Steven Gerrard says you can be the difference.”
“Thank you, Steve. I gave him one hundred pound for this.”

28.45 ...While English journalists have learnt that he didn’t come down in the last
shower.

28.55 SOUNDBITE (English) JURGEN KLOPP

Q. Is [he] the type of player you would like to manage, given the opportunity
should that ever happen?**
"You know better than I what happens if I give an answer to that question._
"So, no answer to that question._
"If you can make a story with that, that will be cool._
"Klopp denies answer."

29.20 What you can’t deny, Jurgen is that you’re a very worthy number one on this list.

29.30 That’s all for now. But join us next time as we count down the classics, list the
legends, and debate the greats - on The Short List.
