#2. Mauricio Pochettino – Tottenham Hotspur
Trending
Tottenham Hotspur are currently second in the Premier League table. Gone are the days when they would be struggling for a spot in Europe having already qualified for the Champions League next season thanks to their new manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Under the Argentine’s guidance this season, Spurs have been simply brilliant in defence and attack, having formed a totally cohesive unit. They have the best defensive record in the Premier league. Their counterpressing skills have been especially productive with Pochettino preferring a very attacking style of play. This has reaped them rich rewards.
The 44-year-old has also managed to gel the entire team together with stars performing across the pitch, like Toby Alderweireld in defence, Dele Alli in midfield and Harry Kane in attack particularly impressive. He first caught the eye at Southampton when he led the club to equal their greatest ever finish in the Premier League table in 8th place, with only Ronald Koeman doing better in his stint with the club.
He was lauded for his aggressive mindset, and has continued to achieve the same plaudits at Tottenham as well. Next year could perhaps finally be the year Spurs win the Premier League.
