Nominees: Mauricio Pochettino (Tottenham), Arsène Wenger, OBE (Arsenal), Slaven Bilić (West Ham), Quique Sánchez Flores (Watford)

2015 winner: Mark Warburton (Brentford)

Why Mauricio Pochettino Could Win:

Second in the Premier League, the second most wins in the top-flight with 14, the second most losses in league play with three, the highest goal difference with 27 points. Establishing a new club record with an undefeated streak of 14 games earlier in the season.

A 12-game unbeaten run in away games since losing to Manchester United in the season opener. Undefeated against London rivals so far this season. The youngest squad in the Premier League. Giving young English players from the youth academy a chance to play regardless of their age.

Clearly there’s a lot to like about Mauricio Pochettino that points to the 44-year-old picking up London Manager of the Year just based on his team’s accolades this season.

Why Mauricio Pochettino Can’t Win:

Arsène Wenger’s side has lost games they shouldn’t but they still find themselves in the Premier League title hunt. Slaven Bilić and Quique Sánchez Flores both have done a lot for their respective clubs, West Ham United and Watford.

Arsenal are always expected to challenge for the league title and progress further in the Champions League. West Ham are getting better and could be a Europa League team. Watford will try to avoid relegation. But in general, the other managers on this list still come up short when compared to Mauricio Pochettino’s exploits this season.

Therefore, this is honestly the easiest award to announce on March 3rd. It should be a landslide victory based on where Spurs are at right now thanks to Pochettino.
