Mikel Arteta: “Revolutionary. He’s completely transformed the way people think about how the game could be played in the Premier League. The consistency he’s shown – winning, winning, winning – and the manner they’ve done it, it’s unique.
Enzo Maresca: When he was in Spain at Barcelona, he changed football there. Then he moved to Germany and changed football there. Now he’s moved here and changed things again.

Arne Slot: “His impact is similar to Jürgen Klopp’s. Both managers have had tremendous influence on many managers worldwide, including those in the Premier League, especially in the last ten years.
