#3 Thomas Tuchel
Thomas Tuchel has not yet completed a full season in the Premier League. But he is already regarded by many as the best manager in the English top flight currently.
Since his appointment in January earlier this year, Tuchel has transformed Chelsea into one of the most well-oiled and effective machines in English and European football. The Blues are known for their ability to grind out wins no matter the circumstances.
Under Tuchel, Chelsea have conceded only four goals in the Premier League this season. Two of them came from the penalty spot, and two from open play. Tuchel's men have registered ten clean sheets in 15 games across competitions this season.
The German has proven his pedigree in Europe's elite competition on several occasions as well. Tuchel led PSG to their first-ever appearance in the Champions League final before going the distance with Chelsea last season.
#2 Pep Guardiola
Pep Guardiola is one of only four managers to have won three Premier League titles. He also happens to be the most successful manager of the 21st century.
With over 30 titles in his trophy cabinet, Guardiola is considered by many to be one of the greatest managers in the history of the game. The 50-year-old has carved his niche in modern football, adapting his mentor Johan Cruyff's 'total football ideology to lead Barcelona to a historic sextuple in 2009.
Following his appointment as Manchester City manager in the summer of 2016, Guardiola almost immediately set about overhauling City's ageing squad. That has paid rich dividends for the Cityzens, as they have gone on to win three Premier League titles in the last four seasons.
Guardiola has left an indelible imprint on the Premier League during his six seasons in the competition. However, the Champions League trophy continues to elude him. But he did take the Cityzens to their first Champions League final last season, where they fell short. So it seems to be a question of when rather than if he wins the competition with City.
#1 Jurgen Klopp
Following Thomas Tuchel, we have his compatriot Jurgen Klopp, who is undoubtedly one of the greatest managers in modern football.
Klopp has enjoyed success at every club he has managed, starting from FSV Mainz in Germany's second division. He achieved incredible results with the club, guiding them back to the Bundesliga in just three years.
Klopp rose to prominence during his seven-year stint at the helm of Borussia Dortmund. The 54-year-old is the only manager to dethrone Bayern Munich as German champions in the last 11 years. After winning five major titles during his time at Dortmund, Klopp undertook the most challenging assignment of his managerial career when he arrived at Liverpool.
That's because, before his arrival, Liverpool went trophyless for over three years. However, Klopp transformed their fortunes, helping The Reds to the Champions League and Premier League titles in successive seasons.
Under Klopp, Liverpool have evolved into a dynamic, fast-paced and offensive pressing side. He led Liverpool to their first Champions League title in 14 years in 2018-19 before The Reds ended their long three-decade wait for a league title in the next campaign.
