I know Ferguson was a striker when he played, but have there ever been any other strikers that were actually succesful as managers?

Brian Clough and Ottmar Hitzfeld come to mind.
Brian Clough.
Jupp Heynckes.
>"...Heynckes played 369 matches in the German Bundesliga, scoring 220 goals..."
Solskjaer... if you ignore the Cardiff period.
Piszczek would make a great coach. He was a striker and now he's a defender. He knows everything that's why he is GOAT tho underrated.
Montella
Cruijff

but he's been a fullback for the most relevant part of his career though
very, very good fullback in his prime though
shame about the injuries
>most forwards make shit coaches but the GOAT was a striker when he played
pottery
Renato

Do strikers or keepers make worse managers?

>Brian Clough
Legendary when he played for Sunderland. Scored 63 goals in 74 games, broke his leg, never the same after that.
Would've been great for England.
Fergie
Clough
Hitzfeld
Heynckes
Bobby Robson
Don Revie
Rinus Michels
Luis Aragones
Mancini
Dalglish
Keegan was fun but never won shit
It's a short list though
