Gained - how much their coach rating changed over their rated matches of the last 52 weeks: their rating now minus their rating a year ago. It ranks change, not level, so a manager climbing out of a bad spell can top it with a modest coach rating. Matches - rated matches in those 52 weeks. Coach rating - their place in the main ranking. Only ranked managers (30+ rated matches) are listed; once they reach 30, every match in the window counts.

Managers of French nationality, wherever they work. # - position in this list. World and +/− - the world table and its change since last week. These pages show the current week only; past weeks are in the world archive.
