The 2014 World Cup in Brazil is around the corner, and football fans around the globe are feeling their excitement rise. There is, arguably, no bigger sporting event in the world, and to be a part of a World Cup winning team would be a dream come true for everybody in the tournament. Most of the attention, naturally, will be on the players. Superstars like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will try and carry their countries to the Cup. Young players will emerge on a national stage. However, let us not forget about the guys patrolling the touchlines. Managing an international team is a unique challenge.
