Barclays Premier league (BPL) has been one of the
most adored football leagues in the world within the past four centuries.
This is due to the enthusiasm, the energy, power,
skills and prowess that both the players and football fanatics exhibit.
From derbies to duels that characterize the game
giving it a sense of glamour and impact that coherently attributes the league
to the followership experienced.
The Adorations are at times rewarded wholesomely by
the involved teams, while sometimes the hope for a better tomorrow diminishes
within the strands of the stadiums.
Far from the silky attributes of the teams and the
dedication of the players, a new incorporation into the league is arising, the
manager influence.
The current list of football managers in the
Barclays premier league is attracting attention not only of the football
pundits but the football family as a whole.
With Liverpool contracting the ever flamboyant
Jurgen Klopp, they have realized an instant improvement reaching the UEFA
Europa League finals in his first tenure as a manager at Anfield but
unfortunately losing to the Spanish side Sevilla.
Klopp who helped Borrussia Dortmund of Germany clinch
the German shield and reach UEFA Champions league final left the Signal Iduna P
ark based club by the end of 2014-2015 season before joining the reds in mid
2015-2016 season.
Another figure of interest is the new Manchester
City manager, Pep Guardiola. Guardiola who led Barcelona to a treble during his
tenure at the club and helped Bayern Munich clinch title after title penned
down a three years contract at the ‘Citizens’ club of Manchester.
Guardiola’s influence is always felt instantly and
football fans are highly anticipating that his tenure at Manchester City will
not be far much different.
Consequently, the special one is back to England!
And who does not know about Jose Phelix Mourinho?
Mourinho is one of the most successful coaches of
the century having lifted trophies with each team he coaches. Winning two
champions league trophies with Fc Porto and Intermilan respectively, he is
considered to be one of the best coaches in the planet.
Mourinho was sacked as Chelsea manager before the
end of the just concluded season, having had a poor start after clinching the
BPL with the club in the previous season.
Mourinho’s arrival back to England was as a result
of the exit of the Netherlands based philosopher, Luis Van Gal who within two
years as Manchester united manager helped the Old Trafford based club clinch
the FA cup and finish in position four and five respectively.
With Mourinho, Manchester United’s taste for victory
according to football pundits is guaranteed.
However with Claudio Ranieri leading Leicester to
the helm of the BPL in the just concluded season, the England based premier
league in proving to be no longer a giant affair.
Arsenal and Tottenham who have been classified as
sleeping giants for quite some time have sent a clear signal to the football
fanatics. Having finished in positions two and three respectively, the London
based clubs are announcing their influx from slumber.
With new managers are new signings, new arrivals,
new ownership and even new management, the BPL is growing, not only in stature
but also in colossal followership.
The upcoming season is proving unpredictable,
unfathomable, and according to the paperwork put in place, the insinuation is a
season of talent, a season of action and reaction, a season of soccer
unmatched.
After the coaches have shown a sense of commitment,
overhaul of squads and rejuvenation and fixing the relevant gaps created by
players who have quit their respective clubs for greener pastures, what will be
their impact to the premier league?
We can only wait, dream for tomorrow and wait for
the outcome.
End…
