>Eddie Howe took Bournemouth from 92nd in the pyramid to ninth within a decade. That needs repeating as often as possible – and it’s why despite an injury-ravaged season, he’ll always be highly regarded.
>The former defender was always the best man-manager in the room, taking a clutch of League One stars and building a Premier League side around them on the south coast, before adding more youth products that Bournemouth were able to sell to save themselves after the eventual relegation. Now, Howe’s improved tactically.
>Agreeing to become the boss at a Newcastle United side destined for relegation in 2021 seemed a strange choice – two years on, though, it’s proved anything but. The Magpies reached their first cup final in over 20 years when they faced Manchester United in the Carabao Cup last February, before qualifying for the Champions League with an exceptional fourth-placed finish.
>But that’s almost a disservice to Howe. Players such as Joelinton, Miguel Almiron, Sean Longstaff – heck, even Jacob Murphy – have all flourished under Howe’s guidance, and are all players who were at the club prior to his arrival. Changes to the squad’s mentality has resulted in a winning mindset, while their front-foot approach often blows teams away.

Eddie ‘tactics board shagger’ Howe

What a terrible list.
Sorry but neither Klopp or Alonso are better than Ancelotti. Man is one of the most tactically flexible and successful managers of all time.
He even made Everton look halfway decent.
Good to see Eddie getting some deserved praise. I’d argue him dragging Bournemouth up the leagues is a far more impressive feat than anything Arteta has achieved.

Top 10 for anyone wondering:
10.Nagelsman
9. Simeone
8. Luis Enrique
7. Inzaghi
6. Arteta
5. Emery
4. Ancelloti
3. Xabi Alonso
2. Klopp
1. Pep
Honestly nargelsmann, enrique, arteta and Xavi alonso are too high for various reasons. Simeone is also far too low. But overall better list than id expect from 442.
