With the knockout stages of the 2026 World Cup underway, we take a look at the last 10 managers to win the competition.
Lionel Scaloni is the most recent manager to win the major tournament, guiding Argentina to World Cup glory in 2022. The three-time world champions were significantly aided by the brilliance of GOAT contender Lionel Messi, who scored seven goals and recorded three assists.
France beat Argentina, Uruguay and Belgium to set up a 2018 World Cup final contest with Croatia, and Didier Deschamps' side emerged as convincing 4-2 winners -- with a 19-year-old Kylian Mbappe starring in Moscow.
Amongst the last 10 managers to win the World Cup is Franz Beckenbauer, leading West Germany to the honour in 1990. He is one of just three managers -- alongside Deschamps and Mario Zagallo -- to have won the World Cup as a player and a gaffer.
Read on as we list the last 10 managers to win the World Cup.
