BRIAN CLOUGH Brian Howard Clough, OBE (21 March, 1935 – 20 September, 2004) was a successful footballer and subsequently football manager, most notable for his success with Derby County and Nottingham Forest. : Started his management career with a bang by clinching Derby's first ever Premier League title before two short but disastrous spells at different clubs cast doubts on his ability. Clough won only 12 of 32 games in charge of Brighton then lasted just 44 days in an ill-fated spell at Leeds. He found redemption and legendary status at Nottingham Forest though, winning back-to-back European Cups, the Premier League and four League Cupsduring an 18-year reign. MARCELLO LIPPI: The Don of the Italian game was hounded out of Inter Milan in 1999 after less than a year in charge. His response was extraordinary - leading Juventus to two titles and a Champions League Final before ending Italy's 24-year wait for World Cup glory as national coach in 2006. GUUS HIDDINK: He may be the golden Guus of world football but the Dutchman's stock was low after successive failures in Spain. He took over Real Madrid in 1998where a combination of poor results and attacks on the board saw him turfed out within seven months. A short stint at Real Betis also ended in the sack before Hiddink took the 2002 World Cup by storm with South Korea, guiding the unfancied co-hosts to the semis. CRAIG LEVEIN: Young gaffer was up against it as Leicester ordered drastic downsizing to cope with Premiership relegation. Levein failed to find a winning formula and was axed after just over a year, his team in the drop zone. After a short stint at Raith he took over Dundee United and saved them from relegation. Craig has transformed the Arabs since, leading them to the CIS Cis (sĭs), same as Kish (1.) (1) (CompuServe Information Service) See CompuServe. (2) (Card Information S Cup Final last term.
