Which football managers are good as managers but were bad as players

There are numerous examples of football managers who have achieved great success despite not being particularly talented players themselves. Here are a few prominent examples:

Arsène Wenger: The legendary Arsenal manager had a brief playing career at semi-professional level in France. Despite his lack of playing experience at the highest level, he revolutionized the English game with his innovative tactics and astute player acquisitions.
José Mourinho: The Portuguese manager has won numerous trophies with Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, and Manchester United. As a player, however, he was a defender who played for several small clubs and never represented his country at senior level.
Pep Guardiola: The current Manchester City manager had a successful playing career with Barcelona, but he was never considered one of the world's top players. His exceptional coaching ability has more than made up for his limited playing accomplishments.
Jürgen Klopp: The German manager has guided Liverpool to Premier League and Champions League triumphs. As a player, he was a journeyman striker who never played for a major club.
Antonio Conte: The Italian manager has won league titles with Juventus, Chelsea, and Inter Milan. His playing career was spent primarily in Serie B and C, and he never represented his country.
