Granted he's only coached big teams (AC Milan, Real Madrid, Roma, Juventus) but he worked his way through the system at Milan from the youth team and it'd be crazy for him to manage anything but top teams now. Plus he built up Roma from something of a shambles to league winners before he left.
Capello is a great coach, but with Milan, especially, he was coaching a team built on the back of huge success with Arrigo Sacchi.

Roma spent quite a lot of money, too, signing players like Batistuta, Samuel, Cassano etc. for around the £20 million mark, which is why they are in such a shite state now.

Alex Ferguson deserves to be mentioned in any discussion about the world's best managers/coaches because of his record in Scotland and England.

Other names I'd put forward are Ottmar Hitzfeld, Marcelo Lippi, Giovanni Trappatoni.
