Premier League Manager of the Year 2019: Who has been the best boss as Unai Emery makes case?

The Spaniard has guided Arsenal to third in the table in the battle to qualify for the Champions League

There are plenty of contenders for the Premier League manager of the season award this season.

Naturally the winner of the title race, Manchester City or Liverpool, will mean Pep Guardiola, who picked up the award last season, or Jurgen Klopp are most likely to claim the award.

But there have been excellent jobs all the way down the table.

Mauricio Pochettino is perhaps a victim of his own success, with his recent five-game winless streak dragging Spurs into a top four battle, and perhaps ending his hopes of claiming the award.

Here are the main candidates this season.

The award will be handed out at the conclusion of the season, which ends on May 12.
