Moved this article from other thread about his first season at Montreal.

Great players — I’m talking about the very elite, top 20 of all-time or ones who were once the best in their position — rarely make great coaches. I can honestly think of only a few who were top-five players in their time that then became great coaches. Those would include: Alfredo Di Stefano, Johann Cruyff, Franz Beckenbauer and Zinedine Zidane.

Maradona and Zico have been average at best, Platini underachieved as a coach and Lothar Matthaus has had mixed results. Romario lasted one season as a manager and most of the greats — Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Roberto Baggio among them – avoid coaching altogether.

It can be hard for great players in any sport to become great coaches because their expectations usually align with what came naturally to them and they fail to understand that 99 percent of players simply cannot do the things that they could. This is why I felt Thierry Henry would struggle as a coach, not because he doesn’t have good ideas or the passion for it, but because he was so good and had such high demands for himself that he could easily get frustrated when his players can't implement what he’s asking them. I couldn’t have been more wrong. He’s by no means a candidate for Coach of the Year, but he’s actually done a very good job in Montreal in a very challenging year.

For those that listen, a friend just sent me a msg to say it's the main topic on Talksport right now. I think I'll pass but someone might enjoy it.
