The arrival of Pep Guardiola (Manchester City), Jose Mourinho (Manchester United) and Antoine Conte (Chelsea) has once again proved the Premier League’s ability to attract the best talent to the British Isles. The three managers join a growing list of astute tacticians and it is an exciting prospect to see them engage in battle in the coming season.
