#1 Ronald Koeman

He may currently be embarking on a project in Merseyside, but things in football can change overnight. The Dutchman is notorious for being ruthless in attack and meticulous with his defensive organisation. He’s not afraid of putting men behind the ball, regardless of the opposition. He believes that if you stop the opposing team scoring first, you then provide the foundation to win the game.
After a couple of years in the Premier League, Ronald Koeman is now well accustomed to the pressures of English football.
He now understands how to manoeuvre through the busy Christmas period, he easily manipulates the British press and he’s acclimatised to how competitive the league is. That’s what sets him apart from the other candidates on this list, he has the PL experience already.
