#3 Mauricio Pochettino

Brighton & Hove Albion v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Pochettino has come a long way with his Tottenham team

Favouring a high press and an attacking style of football, ever since his rise from Southampton after Espanyol, Pochettino has come a long way with his Tottenham team.

He's not only changed the dynamic of the team but he's also built a very good offensive team that has troubled and broken the tag of big four in England and Spurs can now proudly state that they are a part of the big six.

Unfortunately for Pochettino, his work does not transmit into titles and in-spite of coming close to winning the title on two different occasions, they were hindered and left without a major trophy due to Leicester and Chelsea respectively.

Employing a very functional 4-2-3-1, the Argentinian makes his team build from the back and that is followed up by rapid movement and a good amount of switching of flanks before the side converts the ball into a goal.

Without the ball, quick press and aggression are key to winning the ball back. Apart from his tactics, Pochettino has been hailed by many to focus on the youth talent and his ability to promote players from the academy.

He is a man of principles and hence it's clear that he will never manage any other London club but if there's one team that he stands a chance of managing again in England, it's Manchester United.

He made a long-term commitment when Real Madrid was searching for a manager but only time will tell where his true destiny lies.
