The Final Verdict
Undoubtedly it is going to be the biggest ever managerial battle in the history of English football, or as a matter of fact in the history of the game. Definitely it will be of a Box-Office quality – HBO going to like it! While all three sailings to the shores of EPL with big names which are branded in managerial world, not to forget there are in marketing terms entering into segments where there are big players like Arsene Wenger, Jurgen Klopp and now Ranieri along with Pochettino and Bilic who are building brand names for themselves.
Among the new three, it seems for Conte it’s just a plain sailing with a crop of players fitting his ideology and definitely Roman wouldn’t want a title immediately, just need to make sure Chelsea will finish in top 4 or get ready to face the axe Conte! Even though he is front runner it will be very interesting to see how Pep will adapt to the English game and with a squad built by Pellegrini who adopted a different philosophy. For Mourinho it’s a new challenge by not managing a team in UCL and not having a world class squad.
Prediction
- Pep Guardiola – 87-90 points (to win the title)
- Antonio Conte – 75-80 points (to finish 3rd)
- Jose Mourinho – 7075 points (to finish 4thor 5th)
Last but not the least, let us hope the sparking and touch line rivalry between Arsene Wenger – Mourinho will reignite the old Arsenal-Manutd rivalry out of passion and the Pep – Mourinho rivalry to uplift the Manchester Derby to the next level.
