The formation resembles 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-4-1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best move\/worst move:<\/strong> His best moment was managing Arsenal to an unbeaten season and double in 2004. His worst is not investing in on-field leaders and replacing key players who\u2019ve left.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Controversy:<\/strong> Has a big rivalry with Jose Mourinho and has come to blows with Alan Pardew before. His most notable conflict was with Sir Alex Ferguson.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weakest points:<\/strong> His stubbornness and reluctance to invest in the transfer market. Relies too much on players who don\u2019t give anything back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chances to win something this year:<\/strong> None unless they buy a striker and a defender.

Conte\u2019s teams are built on pace, work-rate, athleticism and tactical intelligence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best move\/worst move:<\/strong> Recognising the strengths of the Italian team in Euro 2016 and managing them to the quarter-final stage. His worst was his reported involvement in a match-fixing scandal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Controversy:<\/strong> Hasn\u2019t had any controversial moments with other managers, but was implicated in a match fixing scandal and later found not guilty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weakest points:<\/strong> No real major flaws in his management. Juventus had no competition in Serie A when he was in charge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chances to win something this year:<\/strong> Conte loves winning and will look to mount a title challenge.

Victor Wanyama had a discipline problem and Sadio Mane sulked after being denied a big move. No major stories of a lack of team harmony came out though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favourite tactics:<\/strong> Plays good football, with a solid defensive edge and a potent attack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best move\/worst move:<\/strong> His best was getting Southampton to finish in the top 8, despite the departures of the best players the previous summer. His worst was clashing with Southampton Chief Executive Les Reed over the involvement of youth players.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Controversy:<\/strong> None to speak of, apart from a long standing feud with Louis Van Gaal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weakest points:<\/strong> Hard to think of any after two excellent seasons at Southampton.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chances to win something this year:<\/strong> Everton haven\u2019t won anything since 1995.
