SKF Manager of the month in the top 5 leagues in Europe

Manchester City v Middlesbrough - Premier League
Is Pep Guardiola the best manager in Europe at the moment?

#4 Jurgen Klopp - Liverpool (ENGLAND)

Hull City v Liverpool - Premier League
The points dropped against Tottenham saw the German slip down to 4th on the list,

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool have quietly gone about doing the business they intended. The Merseyside club has managed to win 3 out of the 4 matches in the month currently underway, with victories against West Ham and Southampton in the League and an even more impressive display away at Porto (0-5 to the Reds) in the UCL round of 16 tie.

While all the fuss was about the Arsenal-City and United-Chelsea clashes, Liverpool gained ground in the league without popping up on anyone's radar. A feisty 2-2 draw against a red-hot Tottenham side at Anfield - a game they should've won on the night after going ahead in the 89th minute only for the lead to be cancelled out by an even later Harry Kane penalty - got things going in the month of February.

Credit, where it's due, as expected the competition to be England's top dog, is much tougher than in any other country in Europe. Contenders like Mauricio Pochettino (unbeaten in February including two away goals against Juventus in a tricky period of the fixture-list), Pep Guardiola (League Cup Final victory against Arsenal), Jose Mourinho (come-back win against his former Chelsea side) and Antonio Conte (keeping Barca at arm's length in the UCL) made it very difficult for us here at Sportskeeda to make a decision.

Apart from the four we just mentioned, Chris Hughton kept coming up in our discussions because of his side remaining unbeaten.

After a lot of deliberating, we finally settled on the former Dortmund manager for the top spot in England, but because of dropping points late on against Pochettino's side and fewer matches to contend with, he dropped down to the fourth spot on this list when he could've been as high as second.
