Suit and tie, tracksuit, jeans and a jumper – everybody has their preference on the touchline.
But who are the best dressed managers to have graced the game this season? Here are our top five ..
Slightly controversial one to kick things off, as Pep Guardiola’s style is like Marmite – you either love it or hate it.
Unlike his teams who basically epitomise consistency, the 52-year-old can switch from the sublime to the ridiculous in a matter of weeks.
But we appreciate his willingness to push the boat out and when it works, it absolutely works, so Pep makes the list.
Julian Nagelsmann has squeezed into our top five rankings purely through bravery.
The German is currently without a club after leaving Bayern Munich in March, but still had time to wear this incredible outfit against RB Leipzig this season.
And that’s not his only look from the catalogue – one quick Google search and you’ll find a plethora of vibrant, colourful bomber jackets to spice up the dugout.
Mikel Arteta has developed a reputation for his committed, professional approach to management and that shines through in his fashion sense.
In an interview with the Telegraph, he revealed his preference for “comfy and elegant” clothing and often appears on the touchline in all black.
But it’s amazing what a chiseled jawline and a well-fitted pair of trousers can do, as the Spaniard always looks the part. No fuss, always dapper.
There’s a new kid on the block and nobody wears a jacket quite like him.
Matthias Jaissle has not only led RB Salzburg to one (soon to be two) domestic titles during his tenure, but surprised in Europe as well – beating Sevilla, Wolfsburg and nearly Bayern Munich.
The 35-year-old can do it all; turtlenecks, blazers and more importantly – he’s mastered the perfectly lengthened trouser.
We couldn’t look anywhere else for our top option and no prizes for guessing it’s an Italian.
Roberto Mancini has set the standard for years now, wearing scarves, cardigans and impeccably tailored, personalised suits on the touchline.
Just like Italian cooking – it doesn’t need to be fancy. Just a classy man, maximising what’s available to him.
