Some coaches have had the privilege of working with the greatest strikers of their generation. But beyond trophies and honours, another statistic can be used to measure the impact of these collaborations: the number of goals scored by the players under their management.

AFCON 2027: Top 5 most valuable players in the qualifiers

Discover the great coaches who have worked with goalscorers who surpassed the symbolic milestone of 100 goals.

Pep Guardiola, the best served

Pep Guardiola tops the ranking with five players who have scored more than 100 goals. Lionel Messi leads the way with 211 goals scored under his management while he was playing for FC Barcelona. It was a golden era for the two men, who won a host of trophies together.

Behind the Argentine, Erling Haaland has already scored 162 goals under Guardiola at Manchester City. Sergio Agüero follows with 124 goals, ahead of Raheem Sterling (120) and Phil Foden (110).

Filippo Inzaghi, Ancelotti's favourite

Carlo Ancelotti has also worked with several great finishers during his long career. Filippo Inzaghi (AC Milan) leads the way with 161 goals, while Karim Benzema has scored 121 under the Italian.

Cristiano Ronaldo also features on this list with 112 goals, ahead of Andriy Shevchenko, who scored 103.

Klopp and Liverpool's magical attacking trio

Jürgen Klopp enjoyed a formidable trio with the Reds. Mohamed Salah leads the way with 211 goals scored under the German coach, ahead of Sadio Mané, who follows with 120, while Roberto Firmino reached 111 goals. Robert Lewandowski completes the list with 103 goals, scored during their time together at Borussia Dortmund.

Zidane and an exceptional duo at Real Madrid

Zinedine Zidane also benefited from the presence of two outstanding attackers at Real Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo scored 112 goals under the management of the current France national team coach.

Karim Benzema completes this list with 108 goals, contributing to the success of Los Blancos in the Champions League.

Luis Enrique: the magical Messi-Suárez duo

Luis Enrique's time at FC Barcelona was also marked by an exceptional attacking partnership. Lionel Messi scored 153 goals under his management, while Luis Suárez reached 120.

The duo made a major contribution to Barça's attacking power during this period.

Mourinho: Ronaldo, the number one attacking weapon

José Mourinho has had just one goalscorer who surpassed 100 goals: Cristiano Ronaldo. During their time together at Real Madrid, the Portuguese striker scored 168 goals under the Portuguese coach.

The 100-goal milestone is therefore a genuine marker of longevity and consistency for these players, as well as for the coaches who knew how to make the most of their stars' ability.
