#3 Mauricio Pochettino - Tottenham Hotspur - 27 May, 2014
Mauricio Pochettino has had a meteoric rise in his managerial career, since getting his first managerial job in 2009. He was appointed as Southampton manager in January 2013, and after keeping the club in the league, led them to 8th position in the next season.
The Argentine manager impressed many with his high-pressing game and was appointed as Tottenham manager in 2014, and has transformed the team and developed young players.
The likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli have become key players for the England national team since Pochettino’s appointment, while Spurs have been in the Champions League places.
In his first full season with the club, he helped the team to a 5th place finish in the 2014-15 season, and then followed it up with a 3rd place finish in the next season. He did one better in the next season as his Spurs side finished second and seven points behind champions, Chelsea.
The recently concluded season was also a fruitful one as Spurs finished 3rd, and once again ahead of their arch-rivals, Arsenal.
Pochettino has transformed the Spurs team with a limited budget and also developed players, which is why he’s rumoured to be on the wishlist of several big teams, including the likes of Barcelona.
