5) Brendan Rodgers (Liverpool)
A surprise inclusion? His struggled this season almost saw him slip out of the top five, but his exploits at the start of the year mustn’t be forgotten. Rodgers led Liverpool to second place in the Premier League and a long awaited return to Champions League football. The loss of Luis Suarez in the summer hit him hard, and he’s not been helped by a long-term injury to star forward Daniel Sturridge, but has show signs in recent weeks that he’s beginning to turn things around.
