In football, it is often the players that receive all of the fame and glory.
But managers also deserve a bit of recognition, especially those that have the ‘gift of the gab’.

The managers identified in here are all currently active too, so you can watch their antics on a weekly basis.
Since they also manage some of the top teams in the world, the players under them are always in the news, and many of them star in other online activities such as fantasy sports leagues.
Here are the top three most charismatic managers in European football currently:
Jurgen Klopp
Jurgen Klopp has captured the hearts of soccer fans all over the world.
And while he is obviously a fantastic manager, his performances off the pitch are almost as good as his results on the pitch.
Klopp is a rather excitable character, and his passion tends to shine through in every interview that he gives.
This was particularly evident when Liverpool were crowned Premier League champions for the first time under his guidance.
While it’s always fun to watch Klopp give positive interviews, he can get pretty heated when he wants to.
After all, things can’t always be plain sailing for any manager.
Jose Mourinho
Jose Mourinho has been one of the most charismatic managers to watch of all time.
Mourinho is not afraid to speak his mind, both behind closed doors and in front of a microphone.
He will ridicule players, referees, and managers if he feels like it, yet he is also incredibly quick-witted when facing difficult questions.
Mourinho is currently the manager of Tottenham.
And it would seem that his charisma is working quite well for them right now since they are at the top of the Premier League.
Diego Simeone
Simeone might not be as popular as the first two managers mentioned, but he is very charismatic in his own right.
In fact, he would probably be described as one of the more animated managers when his team is playing.
Simeone has been known to sprint onto the pitch, gesticulate rather wildly to away teams and fans, and his passion to guide Atletico Madrid to success is clear to see.
When he jumps into press conferences, Simeone is actually rather sharp and he can run circles around reporters at times.
Of course, this is usually done in Spanish, but you can still enjoy the subtitles for most interviews he’s given.
