EPL: Roy Keane names best manager in Premier League

Manchester United legend, Roy Keane, has named the best manager in the Premier League.

Keane snubbed the likes of Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp and Chelsea’s Thomas Tuchel as he named Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola as the best manager in the Premier League.

He believes that Guardiola is a class above the rest of his rivals and described him as ‘the man’.

“I remember we did a game last year, I did not write off Man City but I think I said they lost their mojo,” Keane said on Sky Bet’s Driving Home for Christmas.

“And then they won the league and it was like a doddle to them.

“Obviously I know they put in the hard work, but they won it and [Manchester] United finished second but United we are never going to catch them, I would never bet against Man City now, I have just learnt my lesson from last year.

“It doesn’t necessarily mean Liverpool or Chelsea can’t pip them to the title, but I think Pep [Guardiola] is the man, I look at all of the managers I think Pep is the man.”

When asked by former Man City defender Micah Richards whether he thinks Guardiola is the best manager, Keane continued: “I do.

“People say he’s got the best players, but you still have to manage them, you still have to find a style of play and if you are going to pick a team to watch it is going to be Manchester City are not you.”

Guardiola has won three English Premier League titles at Man City since joining the club from Bayern Munich in 2016.
