We will have more days without than with WC football after Round of 16. Let's observe the coaches.
Unlike the winner prediction, this poll is all about personal point of view, so take it after the WC ends doesn't kill the fun. Now (2, 3 days before QF) is just a good time to begin.
Some general assessments:

Alejandro Sabella ($818,240): A doting father or yes-man of Messi, maybe. Great tactician, maybe not.

Marc Wilmots ($864,400): Youngest and poorest (compare with Belgium average). Best at tactical adjustment and substitutions, along with Van Gaal.

Luiz Felipe Scolari ($3,973,730): Biggest salary and only former winner in quarterfinalists. Doesn't have a perfect squad (who does?) but still completed 4/7 missions.

Jose Pekerman ($1,678,450): Attacking mind, while serious about defense. Won all the matches painlessly in 90 minutes.

Jorge Luis Pinto ($440,590): Earns the least, surprises the most. Someone said he is one of if not the most cunning.

Didier Deschamps ($2,161,000): Under him, France are not the enemy of themselves, but a formidable opponent for every team.

Joachim Löw ($3,602,460): Has spent 10 years in his NT, experienced 4 loses against Italy and Spain, yet still loved by countrymen and respected by neutral fans. Not afraid of trying new ideas and a keen listener.

Louis van Gaal ($2,738,060): Won all the matches in 90 minutes against difficult opponents, and with great tactical adjustment & substitutions.
Other options: Jorge Sampaoli (Chile), Miguel Herrera (Mexico), Fernando Santos (Greece), Jurgen Klinsmann (United States),...
