Pep Guardiola gets his first trophy as Man City manager, inspires another dissection of Arsenal and is accused of harbouring a fugitive all at once, while Jose Mourinho emerges victorious in a rare on-pitch ding dong with Antonio Conte, and down at The Hawthorns Alan Pardew is as bemused as the rest of us. On top of all this there’s a warlock, an earful for Tony Pulis and though there may be bad blood in the correspondence section there’s also a trip to Kevin Keegan’s Soccer Circus and a humble gift from Sol Campbell.

Joe is away on holiday and Josh Schneider-Weiler from Tifo's This Football Life fills in and talks to David Bulchover about his book, The Greatest Comeback, which chronicles the career and life of legendary manager Béla Guttmann. As a manager, Guttmann won titles in Hungary, Brazil, and Portugal. He is most famous for winning back-to-back European Cups with Benfica in 1961 & 1962. He was a coaching pioneer and was ahead of his time in many ways (fitness, psychology etc.). He shares many similarities with Jose Mourinho and other modern-day managers and his imprints are littered throughout the game. Listen to Bolchover discuss Guttman's remarkable transition from surviving the Holocaust to lifting Europe's most prestigious trophy.

Potentially the greatest club manager to have ever walked the Earth, Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 after 26 years and an astonishing 38 trophies at the helm of Manchester United. What followed was chaos as the sublime turned into the ridiculous and United struggled to replace such a colossal figure. Nearly five years on Jose Mourinho rules the roost at Old Trafford, but the shockwaves of Ferguson's retirement continue to be felt. In number two on our list, we discuss what impact he had and what the future holds for one of the world's biggest clubs. The Football Ramble, the original and best football podcast.

No manager has quite had the impact on football since 2007, both on and off the field, of Jose Mourinho. Even when not managing in England his shadow has always loomed large, and his time at the helm of two of the Premier League's most successful clubs in the modern era has never been short on drama. In no.6 on our countdown we tell of our experiences covering the man and his actions and try to work out what makes him such a box office attraction for better or worse in the game.
