Guardiola's „Manchester City“ team is at the top of the „Premier“ league with a 9-point lead over the closest pursuers and extended their unbeaten streak to 13 matches. Jurgen Klopp was also nominated. Despite having to cope without Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in January. Klopp's „Liverpool“ won two out of three league matches and drew 2:2 with „Chelsea“. Dean Smith was awarded for the extraordinary work he has done at Norwich City so far. The Englishman's „Canaries“ climbed out of the relegation zone with important victories against „Everton“ and „Watford“. And the fourth nomination goes to „Wolves“ coach Bruno Lage. The „Wolves“ won all three January matches in the English Premier League, including a sensational 1:0 victory over „Manchester United“.
