Got 90. More of a geography question! Worst miss was a European country at number 12.

I got 80 odd. Missed a couple of North American outfits, a handful of African nations and a few of the Asian nations in the top 100 surprised me too.

This is so difficult.  I can think of loads of managers who’ve played in the final - in fact most finals feel like they have a future FA Cup winning manager in there - but they never coincide.

Is it really! Good job he had such success at international level because that’s a pretty mediocre club career

It's definitely a little underwhelming now that I'm looking into it more.  French club football was pretty good in the early 90s.  Marseille got the attention for their European Cup, but Monaco were strong then with Wenger as the manager.  But they were overshadowed and outdone by Marseille (though scandal played a role).  He didn't really play for any of the top sides despite being part of so much French success.  He only got his first cap when he was his mid-20s but played for France until he was 34.  You'd expect more trophies at club level too given his 82 France caps during their best international run.

Here's his Wiki honours list at club level:

Monaco:
Coupe de France: 1990–91

Paris Saint-Germain:
Trophée des Champions: 1995
UEFA Cup Winners' Cup: 1995–96

Inter Milan:
UEFA Cup: 1997–98

Bolton Wanderers
Football League Cup runner-up: 2003–04
King Kenny.
