Jamie Carragher: You can make an argument that Unai Emery is the third best manager in this Premier League. If you back over the last 12 months since he came in at Villa, if you are talking about Man Utd, Aston Villa are a better coached team than United. There is no doubt about that.
Ange has won stacks of trophies wherever he’s been but always get “it’s a weak league” thrown at him, he’s also had it hardest to get noticed being Australian.
Ange has also gone to every club he has been at and completely turned the culture around. Yes, we have lost 2 after having a chunk of our first team decimated in one game (through ill discipline and bad luck) but we lost one of our greatest ever players at the start of the season and the shift and culture change has been seismic.
Pochettino will always have a monkey on his back until he wins a trophy in a competitive competition.
Arteta is not in the conversation but will be if he, unfortunately, wins the league.
Hard to say.

RDZ, Howe - good managers but a step down.
