The coaches of the World Cup are more invested in the outcome of the match than almost anyone else on the planet. Players return to their league club between national-team matches\u2014coaches don\u2019t. They simply grit their teeth and bear the weight that comes with carrying an entire country\u2019s sporting expectations on their shoulders.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour biggest question before you take the job is not, do you put them 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1,\u201d Slaven Bilic, the former coach of the Croatian national soccer team, said, referencing different soccer formations. \u201cThe biggest question is, can you cope with the pressure?\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the great World Cup coaches of all time was C\u00e9sar Luis Menotti, the manager of the 1978 Argentina championship team. El Flaco, or \u201cthe thin one,\u201d as he was known, had a long flop of side-parted dark hair and thick sideburns, and he routinely used nicotine to help him cope with the pressure\u2014he was rarely seen without a cigarette. It seemed to work, too. He may be the only person that Diego Maradona has ever referred to as God, other than Diego Maradona himself. Menotti\u2019s reputation in later years became so great that he developed a group of followers known as Menottistas. And as with nearly all of the great coaches, his strategy possessed a blend of philosophy and artistry. He once said, with a lively spirit of abstraction, \u201cA team above all is an idea.\u201d <\/p>\n

Argentina is one of three countries that have three different team managers working at this year\u2019s World Cup. Italy is another. This is no surprise; both countries have long and illustrious soccer histories. Italy has won the World Cup four times, more than any other country except Brazil. Argentina is one of three other countries to have won it at least twice. (Germany and Uruguay are the others.)<\/p>\n

It may seem odd, then, that the relatively tiny nation of Portugal, which has never finished higher than third, also has three coaches working this year: for Iran, the irascible and itinerant Carlos Queiroz, who has also coached the national teams of Portugal, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates; for Greece, the stern-faced Fernando Santos, who has become a legend there, having been named the Greek league\u2019s coach of the decade in 2010; and for Portugal, Paulo Bento, the former player who looks a bit like a platypus.<\/p>\n

In part, the popularity of Portuguese coaches is due to what Luis Freitas Lobo, the Portuguese soccer television and radio analyst, calls \u201cthe Jos\u00e9 Mourinho effect.\u201d In the last decade alone, Mourinho, who is fifty-one and currently coaches Chelsea, has won championships in Portugal, England, Italy, and Spain, as well as two Champions League titles. Because of his success, \u201cthe big clubs of the big countries look to the Portuguese coaches like never before,\u201d Lobo said.<\/p>\n

But Mourinho didn\u2019t come out of nowhere. Over the last twenty-five years, Portugal has developed a school of coaching. \u201cMourinho is a symbol of this new era of coaches,\u201d Lobo said. The \u201cnew era\u201d spawned from the Technical University of Lisbon, where Mourinho studied, and the University of Porto, where a man named Victor Frade taught. Frade created the theory known as tactical periodization, which in practice, Lobo said, \u201cnever separates the physical, the tactical, the technical\u2014the skills\u2014and the mental in the work. Physical preparation doesn\u2019t exist by itself for Portuguese coaches. It\u2019s integrated with the tactical game. You don\u2019t do any physical exercises without transferring them to the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

The theory seems well suited to the World Cup game, which, with its limitations on practice time and unrivaled worldwide attention, may be less about kicking a ball than any other professional soccer context anywhere. \u201cSome of the guys from the university, like Mourinho, give a lot of importance to the psychological side of the game, the mental game,\u201d said Hugo Daniel Sousa, who covered the 2010 World Cup for the Portuguese daily Publico<\/em>, where he is currently online editor. \u201cIt is a much more wide approach.\u201d To varying degrees, all three of the Portuguese World Cup coaches employ it.<\/p>\n

Queiroz, the sixty-one-year-old Iran manager, was one of the first Portuguese coaches to come out of the universities, in his case in Lisbon, where these methods were taught. At the beginning of his career, he twice won the youth world championships, in 1989 and 1991, when coaching the Portuguese under-twenty team. \u201cHe achieved things that no one had ever achieved,\u201d Lobo said. \u201cThe Portuguese people don\u2019t forget that.\u201d <\/p>\n

Yet when Queiroz took over the national team in his next job, Portugal failed to qualify for the 1994 World Cup. Directly after the match that eliminated the team, Sousa said, \u201cQueiroz said on TV, \u2018The Portuguese national team needs to remove all the shit from the Portuguese federation.\u2019 It\u2019s a very famous sentence in Portugal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Queiroz, who was born in the former Portuguese colony of Mozambique, got a second chance to coach his nation\u2019s team in 2010, but after getting eliminated by Spain, that experience didn\u2019t end on a peaceful note, either. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t have an easy personality,\u201d Lobo said. \u201cHe\u2019s not the coach who goes to the pitch to coach alone. He wants to be the boss. That creates animus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greece\u2019s coach, Santos, fifty-nine, had intended to retire from soccer after a short and minor career playing the game. He began to work at a hotel in the coastal region of Estoril, where friends persuaded him to coach the local team, and he hasn\u2019t looked back since; during a stint with Porto in Portugal, he hired Victor Frade as an assistant. Unlike Queiroz, Santos has an easy personality. \u201cEveryone in Portugal likes Fernando Santos,\u201d Lobo said. When he speaks his mind, he does so through gentle rebuttals. Once, when asked why he didn\u2019t coach his team to play more creatively and offensively, he famously said, \u201cShould we keep fooling ourselves, mistaking sardines for lobsters?\u201d<\/p>\n

Bento took over the Portuguese team in 2010, after Queiroz\u2019s fiery exit, and then led the team to the semifinals of Euro 2012. Unlike Mourinho and Queiroz, Bento didn\u2019t study at the university, but at forty-four, he spent his playing career under its influences. \u201cRight now in Portugal, there\u2019s a conflict between coaches that are ex-players and coaches that come from the academies,\u201d Lobo says. \u201cPaulo Bento thinks like a player sometimes; he thinks like a coach sometimes. He is a compromise between the two worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet for all of the respect given Portuguese coaches recently, it might be asking too much for them to make their mark on this World Cup, when they\u2019re coaching the likes of Iran, Greece, and even Portugal, who had to win a playoff match against Sweden to qualify. Only five countries have made it to the World Cup finals more than twice. The talent seems to be heavily and consistently concentrated in the same areas.<\/p>\n

But who knows. Perhaps this is how a soccer legacy begins.<\/p>\n
