Welcome to the World Championship of Managers, a season which will revolve around the men on the touchline like never before.
This, I hope, is the start of something big for the Premier League. The arrival of Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte and the return of Jose Mourinho, to do battle with Arsene Wenger, Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino promises to make this a campaign that is both spectacular and dramatic.
Those six men all want the crown Claudio Ranieri has been proudly wearing since May and the competition to rip it away from Leicester’s grasp will be ferocious, the kind of which we have not seen in England’s top flight.
