The Premier League has played host not only to some exceptionally talented players but also to some of the greatest managers in modern football. The manager is an indispensable component for any football team, as he lays out formations and strategies needed to be executed on the field.The hallmark of a great manager is their ability to identify the right players for the right positions and help upgrade their skills to make a winning team. An elite manager should have the ability to yield maximum output from the collective and get the best out of each individual.On that note, here's a look at the five best managers in the Premier League this season:#5 Graham PotterGraham Potter is one of the finest managers in the Premier League currently.After a relatively successful two-season stint at Brighton & Hove Albion, Graham Potter has established himself as one of the finest managers in the Premier League.The Englishman was appointed as the manager of The Seagulls in 2018, replacing Chris Hughton at the helm. Under Potter, Brighton have emerged as one of the most exciting teams to watch in the Premier League, creating an abundance of goalscoring opportunities.The Seagulls have found themselves in the top half of the table in terms of expected goals (xG) and expected points over the last few Premier League seasons. In the xG table of Premier League clubs, Brighton were projected to finish fifth last season.Statman Dave@StatmanDaveTeams who have avoided defeat when playing Liverpool at Anfield in the league this season:🔘 Manchester City 🔘 Chelsea 🔘 Brighton An excellent result for Graham Potter’s side. 🙌9:32 AM · Oct 30, 2021128781Teams who have avoided defeat when playing Liverpool at Anfield in the league this season:🔘 Manchester City 🔘 Chelsea 🔘 Brighton An excellent result for Graham Potter’s side. 🙌 https://t.co/IfCYAF5AvUHowever, the lack of a good finisher and ineffectiveness in front of goal resulted in them finishing a dismal 16th-place.Potter is regarded by many as an England manager in the making, having proved himself across various leagues and divisions.
