The Premier League on Thursday, confirmed the nominees for Manager of the Season

In the race are Pep Guardiola (Manchester City) and Mikel Arteta (Arsenal), who are both fighting for the Premier League title.Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola is also among the five nominees.

That is largely down to the impressive work of Unai Emery, who masterminded a club-record home winning run that saw them down the likes of Arsenal and City this seasonGuardiola is the only man nominated not to have picked up a gong for the best manager in a month during the season.
