3) Unai Emery
Unai Emery is doing a wonderful job at Sevilla. The Spanish coach’s reputation has risen to new heights after winning back to back Europa League titles with the club. Emery had a short playing career due to an injury which prompted him to take up management as early as 32.
He was given a position at third division club Lorca Deportiva by their club president and helped them achieve promotion in their very first season to the second tier. His achievements with Almeria and Lorca earnt him a move to Valencia.
Valencia qualified for the UEFA Europa League in his very first season despite their financial troubles and then he led them to a 3rd placed finish the next season.Emery’s achievements have been remarkable and he has been able to do a lot with very little.
The manager’s philosophy is very flexible and he knows how to change his tactics depending on the club he manages. The Premier League is no doubt a challenging league to coach in but Emery has the tools to become a huge success at any club.
