54 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Out of interest, how would people rank the current 18 Premier League Managers (Assuming Howe is all but confirmed)? 1) Pep Guardiola 2) Jurgen Klopp 3) Antonio Conte 4) Thomas Tuchel 5) Rafa Benitez 6) Brendan Rodgers 7) Marcelo Bielsa 8) David Moyes 9) Graham Potter 10) Eddie Howe 11) Mikel Arteta 12) Sean Dyche 13) Ralph Hasenhuttl 14) Claudio Ranieri 15) Thomas Frank 16) Bruno Lage 17) Patrick Viera 18) OGS As I was making that, I realized just how good the manager pool is in the league currently, like the only reason the bottom 5 are in the bottom 5 is just due to lack of exposer due to them all just joining the league, but Frank, Lage, and Viera have all started really well this season. There generally isnt a bad manager on the list, even Ole has done a pretty decent job at Man United, I just feel he would be a failure if you put him in any other team in the league.

What Potter did at Östersund (who I just watched AIK beat in the easiest game I've ever seen) was utterly incredible. Beat Arsenal away (I know they got knocked out on aggregate), and having Brighton play the football they do is definitely better than Bielsa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I’d have Ralph Hasenhuttl above Dyche and Arteta, neck and neck with Howe, otherwise a good list. I’d have Potter above Moyes too btw… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I’d have Tuchel ahead of Conte and (sorry) Rodgers ahead of Rafa. Ranieri is a weird one; he’s won the league but I’d much rather have Viera or Frank. Would put Hassenhuttl considerably higher too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) I’d have Ranieri much higher up. if you look at what he’s achieved in his career he should probably be somewhere around place 6-8 on that list.

Imo Moyes was always the best of the solid British bunch because he was more up to date with the times and tried to play a more attacking style of football than the more dour types. United broke him, but his Everton team were solidly upper midtable. I don't think he's near the top tier though, because of his complete inability to win trophies.

I'll be honest, I like the signings, and we're recently getting results too after the 8th place last season, but the football is utterly soul draining, to the point I'd rather not watch games at times. He's won more in those 100 games because those include easy European ties in the Europa League to farmers. Still, the results are good right now, but I highly doubt they're sustainable, we have been under the pump in many games (Could have easily drawn today, Auba missed pen aside). I think we're due a bad run but I have to give the team credit for being a lot harder to play against at least. Too bad it's also much harder to watch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs have been dreadful this season, so I'm not counting them. We were lucky against Leicester, but will credit Arteta for getting Ramsdale in who saved us in that game. Similar story against Brighton who dominated us for large parts. I will be highly surprised if we're near top 4, come the end of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I hate the bastard and his style of football, but Dyche should be higher imo. Not that I think he's capable of adapting mind you, but he's the most effective anti-football manager out there at the moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I’d have Klopp just ahead of Pep. Tuchel just above Conte. as a side point just how many good manager are there in the premier league now? When you consider not that long ago the likes Big Sam, Pardew, Hughes were stinking up the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Impossible to rank. The quality of managers this year is the best I can remember. I mean, look at OP having to put Viera at 17th Maybe not that far out considering he is fairly inexperienced, but sure seems harsh considering how well they are doing.
