Which Boss Was Best?

Last updated : 01 April 2003 By Rich Godden
In my opinion, Gianluca Vialli has been the best. Not only did we win a number of trophies in his reign (albeit the first two with Gullit's team) but he also brought Champions League football to the Bridge for the first time. For that, I will never be able to repay him. I'll never forget the thrills of watching my beloved Blues take on the cream of Europe.

Memorable matches in Milan, Galatasaray (Welcome To Hell.... we won 5-0 there!), Lazio, Feyenoord and Barcelona (even though we lost 5-1 on the night) led to an incredible season.... The home matches weren't too bad either, with the Blues picking up wins against Galatasaray, Hertha Berlin, Feyenoord, Marseille and Bara (3-1, what a game!). A season never to be forgotten. Thank you Luca!
