Who are Graeme Souness’s greatest managers in the history of the Premier League?
The Scottish great said via TalkSports when asked how is Arsene Wenger’s Premier League legacy compared to Pep Guardiola and Sir Alex Ferguson: “No not for me.
“I think he had a fantastic 10 years, but he did inherit the best back-five arguably in world football. He had a knowledge of French football when France produced the best group of players in the history of French football and he had an insight before anyone else did.
“For 10 years they were the real deal, then for another decade, I don’t think he came anywhere near that.
“I think [the greatest legacy] goes to Fergie, he built three or four teams, his legacy is the largest.
“Pep has definitely bought something different into our game, the playing out from the back was creeping into the game but it was a surge when he arrived, with pitches improving you could do that more.
“Central defenders and full-backs were never entirely comfortable taking the ball in their own box, but the game has evolved and everyone now does it in the higher leagues, I would say he has had a major major influence on where the game has gone.”
