The best coach in the English Premier League (EPL) by Jose Mourinho Fenerbahce was surprisingly former Leicester City coach Claudio Ranieri.

There were numerous masters in the EPL. One of the first hands was Alex Ferguson, who built the Manchester United dynasty. He led Manchester United for 27 years from 1986 to 2013, lifting a number of trophies. He is the one who continued the Manchester United era.

Former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger cannot be left out. He was at the helm of Arsenal for 22 years from 1996 to 2018. I heard that he changed English soccer itself with stylish soccer.




Following that is Mourinho. He led Chelsea and ended the era of Manchester United and Arsenal in the second round. Manchester United also lifted the trophy. Since then, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp have also been included in the list of masters. Guardiola won five consecutive games in Manchester City, which not only Treble but also Ferguson did.

However, the best coach selected by Mourinho was Ranieri. Coach Ranieri led Leicester City, which is in the relegation zone in the 2015-2015 season, to win the title that no one expected. It was such a miraculous drama that it was called a Leicester fairy tale.

In a recent broadcast with John Obi Mikel, Mourinho said it is impossible to compare Ferguson with Guardiola. The two are of different generations. Both made history in the EPL. But I still think the most historic coach in the EPL is Ranieri. It's really great to lead Leicester City to the championship."




Then "I'm not denying Ferguson's win at Manchester United and Guardiola's success at Manchester City is great. But Leicester City's victory is still amazing."
