The English Premier League’s retinue of famous managers took to the sidelines once again this past weekend in an effort to cajole their teams to victory. If the Klopps and Mourinhos of the world aren’t there to bellow instructions and gesticulate wildly, how can their teams earn the points that will be needed to win them a title at the end of the year? They can’t, and you know it.
So with Jose, Jurgen, Pep, Arsene, Mauricio, and Antonio again in the spotlight, we’ve rounded up some of the best images of each as part of our ongoing series highlighting the English game’s Cult of the Manager. Jose and his boys failed to best a team called “the Potters”, Jurgen’s men sealed Francesco Guidolin’s fate at Swansea, Antonio’s boys took care of Hull, Arsenal and the Gunners just managed to beat Burnles, and Mauricio’s cockerels surprised everyone by besting Pep’s previously unbestable squad.
