The Premier League and Championship can expect an influx of new, super-talented European football managers, as analysts turn their attention to assessing coaching talent for the first time.
A new branch of football analytics is now looking beyond players and is testing coaches, based on their ability to improve teams and individuals.
The approach promises to transform managerial recruitment, beyond the merry-go-round of the usual suspects and expand the options for top flight clubs.
Jose Bordalas head coach of Valencia has been identified by Analytics FC as one of Europe's best performing coaches in terms of improving his club's performance and Bo Svensson, the coach of Mainz 05 also makes the list after turning around the fortunes of the German club last season and he is on course for a top half finish in the Bundesliga
Data analysts, Analytics FC, are among the trailblazers in the new discipline and have produced a list of coaches, who have delivered the best value for money in Europe, in terms of improving their club's performance.
