Best 4 Premier League managers right now (March 2023)
In the footballing world, managers are tasked with the responsibility of guiding their squad and making sure that the result of the club is satisfactory.
In the Premier League this season, we've witnessed the dismissal of several top-class managers like Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, and Antonio Conte to mention but a few.
This could be attributed to their porous performances in their respective clubs and the competitive nature of the league in general. On the other hand, we've seen several managers that have performed decently in their respective teams as well.
On that note, this article will evaluate and rank the best four managers in the Premier League right now.
Without further ado, let's look at them.
#4 Erik ten Hag (Manchester United)
When you take a look at the level of improvements at Old Trafford this season, it's easy to see that Erik ten Hag has done a wonderful job.
Under his reign in the Premier League this season, the Red Devils have won 20, drawn six, and lost nine out of 35 Premier League games.
Similarly, in the area of player development, there have been some notable improvements in the performance of players like Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford, and Raphael Varane.
The 2022-23 campaign is his first season at the club, and he has already won a trophy. The Dutchman has also helped the club to book their spot in this season's FA Cup final and he's also on the verge of securing a UEFA Champions League spot for the Red Devils.
With the above, he deserves to be credited for his achievements.
#3 Eddie Howe (Newcastle United)
Arguably one of the most underrated managers in the league, Eddie Howe has transformed Newcastle United.
Under his reign, the Magpies have won 19, drawn 12, and lost five out of their 36 Premier League games this season.
Similarly, he's also on the verge of helping the Magpies secure their first UEFA Champions League qualification of this decade.
Hence, he should be commended for his achievements, especially when his team is not among the big six Premier League teams.
#2 Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
Despite Arsenal's Premier League title setback in recent weeks, one of the managers that have impressed in the league this season is Mikel Arteta.
Under his reign, the Gunners have won 25, drawn six, and lost five out of their 36 Premier League games this season.
Similarly, he has helped the club in securing their first UEFA Champions League qualification since the 2015-16 Premier League campaign. The above is something that several managers failed to do.
The Spaniard should be praised for his performance and if he can help the players to build consistency, the current brand of players at the club stand a good chance of winning the league's title in the coming years.
#1 Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)
There’s no doubt that Pep Guardiola is a master tactician and he could be seen as the best manager currently in the footballing world.
Under his reign, Manchester City have won 27, drawn four, and lost four out of the 35 Premier League games that they have played this season.
The Spaniard is two wins away from lifting this season's Premier League title and he is one win away from helping Manchester City win their first-ever UEFA Champions League title.
If Manchester City win their first UCL trophy, is it time to consider Pep Guardiola as the GOAT manager? 🤔🐐 https://t.co/yjUY0Ft2nm
