#1 Tony Pulis (Stoke 2002-05, 2006-13)
Since the turn of the millennium, Tony Pulis has been one of the most emblematic managers in the Premier League. He has been known for the no-nonsense approach of his teams, who embody the English spirit by playing in a direct and physical manner – a throwback to the years before foreign players dominated the league.

Pulis built Stoke in his image during his two spells at the club, making them ferociously difficult to beat, particularly in the Potteries, which led to the birth of the famous Andy Gray phrase: “Can he do it on a cold, wet Wednesday night in Stoke?”
He is the reason Stoke have enjoyed Premier League football for so long.
