Mentioning a coach whose peculiarities are comparable to those of Zhuge Kongming in the Three Kingdoms period. However, even Kongming failed to reverse the defeat of Shu Han, the main reason is the battle between Wu and Shu, Liu Bei was attacked by Lu Xun with a fire and suffered a great injury, lost Jingzhou and fell into passive defense. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and many other generals also lost. Zhuge Liang although six times to Qishan, in fact, insufficient supply of grain and grass soldiers, defeat is a foregone conclusion. But undeniably, Zhuge Liang's talent and ability is recognized worldwide.

In soccer, there are such peculiar coaches such as Manzano, who is well known to our fans. He is upright and demanding to his players. He has a great record in the Spanish Primera Division, and he is also known as a psychological master, who is good at recognizing the intention of the opponent's coach, so as to win by surprise. Therefore, our fans affectionately called him "Sai Zhuge", describing his divine calculation and uniqueness on the pitch.

Manzano first coached at Beijing Guoan, leading the team to the second place that year. Although the strength of the players compared to Evergrande is slightly insufficient, but Manzano is still the outside world as the best coach. However, after Evergrande's introduction of Elkeson, Konka, Muric and other powerful foreign aid, Beijing Guoan failed to strengthen reinforcements, and ultimately failed to complete the mission of winning the championship. 2015, Manzano resigned from his post, the team ranked fourth. In the following two years, Guoan's performance slipped, ranking fifth and ninth.

In 2015, Manzano stepped down to Shanghai Shenhua. 2016, he led Shenhua to create a record of undefeated home games in the league, finishing fourth and advancing to the quarterfinals of the AFC Cup, returning to the AFC Champions League after five years. However, Shenhua attraction right is not in the hands of Manzano, the introduction of the player is not effective. A reporter broke the news that Manzano ate kickbacks and other unspoken rules, but more importantly, he knows that Shenhua's strength is limited, it is difficult to cope with the AFC Champions League double line of battle. In the end, Manzano chose to resign to preserve his reputation. After a few years, Shenhua's performance has been difficult to reach the height of Manzano's coaching period, reduced to the second team in Shanghai Tang.

Manzano realized that the water of Chinese soccer is very deep and not any coach can manage it. Therefore, he turned down the opportunity to coach China's national soccer team. When the coaching whip of the national soccer team was handed to him, he chose to reject it and eventually gave the opportunity to Lippi. However, the beautiful boss of Guizhou Hengfeng invited Manzano three times and traveled to Spain for a long late-night talk. Perhaps it was the lure of money, perhaps it was the attraction of female charm, Manzano finally agreed to go out. In his first year of coaching Guizhou Hengfeng achieved good results, but in the second year, he found that the team had serious problems, and many players who were eliminated by other teams flooded into the Guizhou team, leading to a decline in team cohesion. Manzano was most vocal about players such as Zhang Sipeng, believing that their mentality problems far outweighed their strength problems.

To make matters worse, Suning not only sold their worst goalkeeper to Guizhou Hengfeng, but also recommended Pedrescu, the best foreigner in the Chinese Super League. However, Pedrescu's real level was much lower than the rumors, and he was eventually dropped at Suning. Guizhou Hengfeng was also in a funk. Manzano could only choose to leave to save himself when he realized that the team's military was unstable at a critical moment. In the end, Pedrescu brought Guizhou Hengfeng to relegation and chose to escape in the Central League himself. It can be said that the beautiful boss of Guizhou Hengfeng was pitched by Suning.

In Chinese soccer, Manzano is a smart coach who knows how to get in and out of the game, and even almost fell into a beauty trap.
