Jurgen Klopp, Frank Lampard, Brendan Rodgers and Chris Wilder are the four coaches who have been nominated for Premier League Manager of the Year. The winner will be determined after a combination of fan votes plus the votes of a committee of football experts. Jurgen Klopp became the manager who brought Liverpool`s first championship title in Premier League history. This happened a record early in terms of the remaining number of matches via football livescore until the end of the season. Merseyside secured first place seven rounds before the end. Klopp`s team recorded 32 wins, three draws and three losses this season, improving a number of records. The German won the record five monthly awards for best manager during the season.

Frank Lampard managed to put his team in the top 4 in his first season at the helm of Chelsea. The Blues achieved 20 wins, six draws and 12 losses, but that was enough to secure a place in the Champions League. One of Lampard`s great achievements was that he imposed young players like Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham.

Brendan Rodgers and Leicester caused a real sensation, although in the end the injuries and the decline in the team`s form led to the `foxes` falling out of the top 4. However, the fifth place remains the second highest ranking of the club after the championshipseason. Leicester recorded 18 wins, 8 draws and 12 losses during the campaign.


Chris Wilder has made Premier League rookie Sheffield United at an advanced stage of the season part of the battle for the top four. The Blades have taken points from Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Wolverhampton, conceding just 39 goals. Although they ended up in 10th place, Chris Wilder and Sheffield were arguably the most pleasant surprise of the season.





The name of the winner will be announced on August 13.
