Amongst the Premier League's star-studded managers who will see failing to win the Premier League as a dent to their reputation, there is one whose stock is continuing to rise in spite of Chelsea's success.
One of the alluring factors of this season's title race and jostle for the top four was that never before had English football seen so many managers with such burgeoning reputations in one place. Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, Jose Mourinho at Manchester United, Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, Antonio Conte at Chelsea and Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.
While Conte seems to have outwitted all of the rest, Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham, who are sitting in second place, has improved his standing once again.
