Top Coach of the Year Chosen by APL
****Fire Up the Competition! The English Premier League has unveiled the five hotshots vying for the illustrious title of Best Manager of the 2024/25 season. Shockingly, five-time champion Pep Guardiola didn't make the cut this time around. The lineup is as sizzling as ever:
- Arne Slot, charming leader of "Liverpool" - He's a rookie on the scene, but he's already breaking records and leading his club to victory in his debut season.
- Thomas Frank, the modest whisperer of "Brentford" - He's unwittingly turned the modest club into giants, clinching a spot in the Europa League.
- Nuno Espírito Santo, the inspirational guide of "Nottingham Forest" - He's lifted the team's spirits, securing their first European competition spot in years.
- Victor Pereira, the second-half hero of "Wolverhampton" - He orchestrated an incredible comeback in the second half of the season, dragging the club out of the relegation zone.
- Eddie Howe, the fearless commander of "Newcastle" - He's fearlessly leading "The Magpies" to the Champions League, despite losing key players to injuries.
👨🏼💼🔭* "Arsenal" is reportedly prepared to shell out a whopping 750 million rubles annually for Djecko[1]* "Sunderland" has controversially adjusted field sizes to thwart "Coventry" on set pieces[2]* Rumors abound regarding possible successors for Amorim at "Man United". Bookmakers have pinned their bets on the following contenders: + Jose Mourinho - Currently the favorite, he's looking to return to the manager's seat, having previously coached Manchester United from 2016 to 2018[3]. + Gareth Southgate - Although he's reluctant to jump into coaching too soon, the former England manager is still being considered[3]. + Kieran McKenna - A rising star, he has already impressed with Ipswich Town, earning him a high odds of success[3].
Other candidates with lower odds include:* Thomas Frank[3]* Xavi Hernandez[3]* Marco Silva[3]* Brendan Rodgers[3]* Mauricio Pochettino[3]* Unai Emery[3]* Carlo Ancelotti[3]
