Amount Brendan Rodgers publicized himself |~|
Amount Pelligrini publicized himself: |~~~|
They are in order according by the how much chance they have of winning the EPL manager of the year award . NOT BY WHO IS BEST or BETTER .
7 . Steve Bruce
It is a measure of what Bruce has achieved at Hull that it has been suggested the 53-year-old deserves a chance to manage a club with European ambitions. He has taken Hull to mid-table on their return to the Premier League and also guided them to the first FA Cup Final in their 110-year history. All this amid the backdrop of owner Assem Allam trying to change the club’s name to Hull Tigers. Bruce has not allowed that to distract his players and Hull can looked forward to their trip to Wembley with their Premier League status nearly secured. Bruce may prove a shrewd appointment for any chairman willing to take a risk.
It seems remarkable that Pochettino does not speak English in press conferences after 15 months at Southampton but the 42-year-old Argentine has got his message across to his players. His side have been a joy to watch and, although they have tailed off in recent weeks, he is more than a worthy contender. It is easy to see why Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is considering the forward-thinking young manager as a replacement for Tim Sherwood in the summer.
The Spaniard pledged to deliver Champions League football when he took over at Everton last summer and finishing in the top four would be a phenomenal achievement. Last night’s defeat by Crystal Palace means it is now out of their hands but there can be no doubt Martinez has built on David Moyes’s legacy by introducing an exciting brand of football. Man‑management, one of his many strengths, helped keep England defenderLeighton Baines from joining Manchester United and he has given Ross Barkley a chance to shine.
The Chilean deserves credit for taking his team to another level after replacing Roberto Mancini and it is easy to forget free‑scoring Manchester City were beating all‑comers at one stage. However, any assessment of his first season at City hinges on whether they win the Premier League and those hopes are fading following last night’s shock 2-2 draw with Sunderland. City were targeting an unprecedented Quadruple after their Capital One Cup success last month but disappointing exits in the Champions League and FA Cup mean missing out of the title would represent failure after he spent £90million in the summer to improve a squad that finished second last term.
The Chelsea boss is still the master. He has played down his side’s chances of winning the League but it would be no surprise if Chelsea snatched it. They also have a Champions League semi‑final against Atletico Madrid to look forward to. Whether or not the campaign ends with champagne, Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge has certainly been lively. The sprint down the touchline after Demba Ba’s winner against Paris St-Germain was one of the moments of the season. The meticulous preparation that helped Chelsea beat City at The Etihad showed Mourinho at his best.
2.Tony Pulis
Jose Mourinho believes Pulis deserves to be Manager of the Year and there is certainly an argument to be made for the former Stoke boss. Pulis has taken Crystal Palace from bottom of the Premier League, when they were 1-20 relegation certainties, to 11th place with four games remaining, all but sealing survival with last night’s 3-2 win at Everton. A remarkable turnaround. Last November, Pulis inherited a team who looked doomed to the Championship under Ian Holloway but he has transformed them into a well-organised, disciplined side with one of the best defensive records in the division.
If he can deliver what will be a historic triumph, Rodgers will write himself into Liverpool folklore. The achievement would be heightened by the magnificent attacking style in which the Reds will have claimed the title. Rodgers is committed to playing younger players. He has adapted his system to allow Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge, Raheem Sterling and Philippe Coutinho to work together in tandem, while Steven Gerrard has been transformed into a deeper-lying midfielder. Players such as Jordan Henderson, Jon Flanagan and Joe Allen have all improved under his guidance. Liverpool have not had the distraction of any other competition but Rodgers deserves credit for his side’s consistency.
