We consider two large datasets consisting of all games played among top-tier European soccer clubs in the last   $60$   years, and among professional American basketball teams in the past   $70$   years. We leverage game data to build networks of pairwise interactions between the head coaches of the teams and measure their career performance in terms of PageRank centrality. We identify  Arsène Wenger ,  Sir Alex Ferguson ,  Jupp Heynckes ,  Carlo Ancelotti  and  José Mourinho  as the top   $5$   European soccer coaches of all time. In American basketball, the first   $5$   positions of the all-time ranking are occupied by  Red Auerbach ,  Gregg Popovich ,  Phil Jackson ,  Don Nelson  and  Lenny Wilkens . We further establish rankings by decade and season. We develop a simple methodology to monitor performance throughout a coach’s career, and to dynamically compare the performance of two or more coaches at a given time. The manuscript is accompanied by the website  coachscore.luddy.indiana.edu  where complete results of our analysis are accessible to the interested readers.
