7. Mauricio Pochettino, Southampton
There was a certain amount of uproar last season when the popular Nigel Adkins was sacked and replaced by an Argentinian who could not speak English.
Yet whilst similar sides such as Swansea and Norwich spent big and failed, Pochettino was much more shrewd in the transfer market and has also promoted from within.
English talent such as Adam Lallana, Jay Rodriguez and Luke Shaw have thrived under the young boss and they could even make the Europa League places.
