This World Cup has exceeded all expectations. First, Saudi Arabia were beaten by favorites Argentina, then Morocco swept their group (and into the semis), and finally Brazil lost on penalties. It’s safe to say it’s full of surprises. But one big surprise, and perhaps the most underrated one, is that the players aren’t the only big fit. This time they are the leading managers in football style.
While there is no dress code, there are typically two types of football managers: suits and tracks. In the year By the mid-1800s, when modern football began, the game was a regular event and uniforms were a tradition for coaches. As the game evolved over the centuries, fashion formalities took a step back. Tracksuits became the popular uniform of managers, an accepted comfort. Today, some managers choose to stick with the suit, some opt for tracksuits; It all depends on personal preferences. We are seeing both in this World Cup and everything in between.
From sharp and stylish three-piece suits to the all-new Puma Grootfits, the managers are putting their own spin on the sidelines. There are fitted shirts and sarongs, baseball caps and glittery dress shoes – the lawn is Qatar Fashion Week and the side streets are.
If you’ve been following the World Cup, you may have noticed this commotion on the sidelines. Maybe you’ve tried to get your hands on Gregg Berhalter’s Air Jordans. Maybe you’re confused about who you’d have to bribe in a past life to get genes like him, except look at Hervé Renard. Or maybe you’ve been paying no attention to this and are simply here for the football. Regardless, one thing you may not realize is that managers’ personal style often reflects their coaching style. We see it in Hajime Moriyasu – dress smart, play smart. Hansi Flick blends into the background in his uniform, set as the German team. I’ll spare you my monologue as there is a deeper analysis to go into on this. for now.
Yes, I know the quarterfinals are over. But of course it wouldn’t be a proper sports competition without an Esquire issue. I may have lost out on my family’s World Cup bracket, but I’m pretty sure of this. These 8 of the 32 managers have the best style at the 2022 World Cup, so pick who you think is trending. to the semis in this bracket. Go ahead, take a shot. Let us live.
Hansi Flick, Germany
Flick’s style is the epitome of calm, cool and collected. Rock a monochrome suit in a sea of blues, with a contrasting pair of white sneakers, putting professionalism on top, with comfort on the bottom. As I said before, writing translates into coaching. Flick allows the players to shine, blend into the background and give the team freedom. Sneakers are a little different from the rest of the clothes, just like its asymmetrical shape.
Hajime Moriyasu, Japan
Moriyasu is the definition of smart. From his polished dress shoes to his French cafe to his three-piece suit, he is undoubtedly one of the sharpest managers out there. It’s no surprise that his coaching style is equally as smart as he is driven by the wisdom of learning from others.
Gregg Berhalter, USA
If it’s not a side-by-side display of the American trainer’s street style, what would you expect? I’m not complaining though; This graphic Nike t-shirt and khaki set is paired with Air Jordans. In fact, he wore a different pair of sneakers to every US team match, and I’m pretty sure there wouldn’t have been any wear if they had continued. Same with the coach—he wanted the world to see America as a great team, and it showed in his creative fashion.
Gareth Southgate, England
Ah yes, Sir Southgate, whose style has seen its own revolution this year. The three-quarter length coat and iconic waistcoat were traded in for a knit front zip cream sweater, tailored navy blazer and burgundy socks for a full color flag finish. Like his coach, he dropped his tie and dropped the charge in favor of an informal approach.
Luis Enrique, Spain.
Enrique is known for having a frame that will compliment anything. He doesn’t care what people think of what he wears (or how he trains) and gets away with wearing anything. Ditching his suit and tracksuit boxes, Enrique is a bit different, occasionally sporting cargo pants with a buttoned-up polo. His World Cup chinos and sambas are exactly what men in the West Village are vying for, and we can’t help but endorse this view.
Rigobert Song, Cameroon
This guy gives us straight rockstar vibes. Coach’s style is as fun as his clothes; There is a sense of performance in both. A baseball cap and beaded bracelets add a touch of style to the occasion, and dress shoes are a clean choice. Here is the leading male model of Qatar Fashion Week.
Didier Deschamps, France
Deschamps really doesn’t have to do much, but it doesn’t matter. He stays loyal to the team in blue oxfords under a blue suit jacket. The World Cup champion does not feel the need to look flashy on or off the pitch. But I do not speak for Mbappe and the rest of the French.
Aliou Cisse, Senegal
A man who sticks to his principles. Comfort first, there’s still something beautiful about this groupfight that Sissy pulls off. Maybe it’s the confidence he wears or the special white knickers. Whatever it is, he’s breaking it. Also, I’m looking for the Puma x Senegal National Team collab right now.
