I must admit I was starting this thread to say blimey look at Mourinho, who now resembles Pat Coombes on celebrity squares in his press conferences, until I realised he looked just the same when he left Real Madrid. But managerial stints do seem to suck the life out of people. Any better examples of 'before and after' in a few years of the kind I'm alluding to?

David Moyes, a fairly youthful 50 when he took over at Manchester United in 2013. Five years on and United, Sunderland and West Ham have left him looking like he's pushing 70.
Meanwhile if we're looking for those who have seemed to have slowed down the clock, I would nominate 71 year old Harry Redknapp, currently entertaining the nation having seemingly aged about 3 years since 2000.

Suffice it to say, I have the same surname as Sid James and fear that he may have been my father.
(Yes, I know he wasn't really called Sid James.)

Bearing in mind those pictures of Wenger are roughly 80 years apart.
Footballers always look older than their years anyway, don't they? I put it down to so many hours spent in the outdoors exposed to the elements. Managers then do a similar amount of outdoor work and also have more stress than when playing.
