The focus shifted to capitalizing on set pieces and counterattacks. This adaptation proved fruitful, aiding Brentford’s defensive solidity and ability to score crucial goals.

Drawing from F.C. Copenhagen’s defensive prowess against top European teams fostered defensive resilience. This approach is impressive as Brentford’s performances against formidable opponents hardened.

Eddie Howe’s career as the head of Newcastle United has been outstanding, bringing the club back into English football. He was appointed to replace Steve Bruce on November 8, 2021, taking charge of a struggling Newcastle United.

9. Unai Emery – Aston Villa

The summer of 2023 experienced a new era at Aston Villa with crucial changes both on and off the field. Emery’s partnership with Sevilla’s sporting director Monchi, who assumed the role of President of Football Operations.

The duo’s history at Sevilla, particularly during the club’s triumphant UEFA Europa League campaigns from 2013 to 2016 was formidable. The synergy between Emery and Monchi was good in the transfer market as Aston Villa secured key signings.

Pau Torres joined from Villarreal for a reported £33 million. Additionally, the club broke its previous transfer record with the signing of Moussa Diaby from Bayer Leverkusen, with the fee reportedly exceeding £50 million.

Aston Villa’s dominant 4-0 victory over Everton in their first home game of the season set a historic record of eight consecutive Premier League home victories.

This achievement not only demonstrated Emery’s tactical prowess but also highlighted the team’s growing strength.

Dutch manager Arne Slot will also be at the managerial helm at Anfield for the 2024/24 season after the departure of Jurgen Klopp. The new gaffer who did great with Feyenoord has huge boots to fill at Anfield as Klopp left the Reds after establishing them as a formidable force in the Premier League and Europe.

Ahead of the season. it remains to be seen if he can pull it off at Anfield. Some of his backroom staff as Liverpool boss include Sipke Hulshoff as first assistant coach, Ruben Peeters, as lead physical performance coach at the AXA Training Centre, and Fabian Otte as first-team goalkeeper coach.

11. David Moyes – Everton

Sean Dyche was the manager of the Toffees at the start of the 2024/25 season but has been sacked and replaced by David Moyes, who had a significant history with the club during his time at Goodison Park.

The Scottish manager returns to Merseyside and will be looking to help the Toffees regain their reputation as one of the best clubs in the Premier League. We look forward to see if he can help them escape relegation waters by a mile seeing that he has from January 2025 to the end of the season to steer the ship.

12. Oliver Glasner – Crystal Palace

Oliver Glasner is the current manager of Crystal Palace after being hired to replace veteran Roy Hodgson after a poor run of games in the Premier League.

It can be recalled that the latter answered the call to return to Crystal Palace as their manager on March 21, 2023, and this decision was a reunion that carried huge significance, both for Hodgson and the club.

However, he was relieved of his managerial duties at Selhurst Park and replaced with the Austrian manager on February 19. 2024, who signed a contract that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2024/25 football season.

The Austrian started his managerial regime at Selhurst Park on a high as he led his side to a 3-nil win against Burnley.

With a two-year contract and the option for an extension, his tenure is poised to shape the club’s revolution for years to come with the young talented squad.

Pochettino’s first match in charge was against Liverpool at Anfield, the clash against one of the league’s giants.

The debut match against Liverpool ended in a 1-1 draw, but the Chelsea side we saw in this game was extraordinary even though they couldn’t nail their opponents, the performance was impressive.

13. Ange Postecoglou – Tottenham

Ange Postecoglou is currently the new Tottenham Hotspur head coach. Postecoglou’s appointment made him the first Australian and the first Greek-born person to manage a team in the Premier League.

With a four-year contract, Postecoglou’s time at Tottenham Hotspur is assured to be a successful one. The extended duration provides a great opportunity for him to implement his football philosophy and make a good impact on the club.

Andoni Iraola is another new face in the English Premier League, being the new AFC Bournemouth manager. From his appointment to the challenges that lie ahead, his presence vows a fresh perspective.

On June 19, 2023, Andoni Iraola was appointed as manager of AFC Bournemouth with Gary O’Neil’s departure earlier that same day.

His leadership will be crucial in guiding the team through this challenging period and ensuring a seamless progression toward the club’s goals.

15. Vitor Pereira – Wolves

On August 9, 2023, Wolverhampton Wanderers appointed Gary O’Neil following Julen Lopetegui’s departure due to board disputes. However, he has since been replaced by Vitor Pereira after bad performances that left Wolves battling in the relegation zone.

The Portuguese manager has his job cut out for him and has started life at the Molineux on a high. However, it remains to be seen if he can steady the ship and ensure that Wolves escape from relegation.

16.  Fabian Hurzeler – Brighton

Fabian Hurzeler will be leading Brighton and Hove Albion in the 2024/25 Premier League season and will be looking to return the side to the top as his predecessor Roberto De Zerbi, although he couldn’t maintain the form in his second season in charge.

Hurzerler is the youngest manager in Premier League history at 31 years of age. Can he handle the pressure at one of the highest stages of football management? We’ll get to know as the season commences and progresses.

17. Graham Potter – West Ham

I believe the Hammers thought too highly of themselves when they allowed David Moyes leave and replaced him with Julen Lopetegui. However, it didn’t work out as expected and the Spaniard has been replaced with former Chelsea and Brighton boss Graham Potter.

Graham Potter has his work cut out for him as the Hammers have been very poor this term. Regardless, he will be looking to regain his glory days after a bad outing as Chelsea boss in the Premier League. We wait to see how this pans out for both the club and the manager.
