Eddie Howe

The current manager of Newcastle United, Eddie Howe, takes the number three spot on our list. Perhaps we’re being a bit overzealous – but Howe has done a great job since he assumed the Toon’s managerial post.

Under the former Bournemouth manager, the Magpies could be on course for their first top-four finish since 2003. Sure, he’s had plenty of resources at his disposal – but to do such a good job in such a short space of time is undeniably impressive.

Not only is Howe getting results on the pitch, he is also playing attractive football. Currently, Newcastle are one of the most exciting counterattacking teams on the planet.
