Jose Mourinho
With Chelsea FC expected to surely win the Premier League title following their win against Manchester United, Jose Mourinho’s position within the club is as strong as it has ever been. The manager position will likely be his as long as “the Great One” desires to keep it.
Though Mourinho suffered a fallout with the Chelsea owner back in 2007 which resulted in him leaving the club less than a month into the season, all issues now appear to be resolved, with Mourinho expected to remain in charge at Stamford Bridge for the extended future.
Louis van Gaal
With Manchester United in disarray following David Moyes tenure at the club, Louis van Gaal has stepped in and turned things around. Following United’s lowest Premier League finish since the 1989-1990 season, LVG has changed the philosophy and ultimate play of the club.
Though the side lost to Chelsea last time out, Champions League appears to be on the cards for the Red Devils. With Champions League and a top four finish achieved, LVG has proven he is one of the best manager’s around and will remain in charge at United for many years to come.

Mauricio Pochettino
Handpicked by the Tottenham board, Pochettino has already turned Tottenham into a serious Europa League contender and possible Champions League contender moving forward.
With the emergence of Harry Kane, Pochettino has found his young star to build his team around. If the Argentine can continue to turn the squad into his own, expect Tottenham to contend for trophies and the Premier League top four in the very near future.
Garry Monk
While the Englishman has had a career season in charge of Swansea City, the stellar performance’s from the squad this season could make Monk a wanted man this summer.
While Swansea City is not a big club, it is Monk’s club. Making 226 appearences at centerback for the Swans, Monk has become one the club’s best all time players. Monk was appointed a player-manager on an interim basis in 2014 with the sides top form leading to his appointment as manager.
The club currently sits eighth in the table and will be looking to contend for the Europa League next season. With Swansea being his club of choice, I doubt that he will leave this summer. Expect Monk to remain in charge through at least next season.
Alan Pardew
Since his mid season move from Newcastle to Crystal Palace, the English manager has had a much better time of it. With Newcastle fans calling for his head almost every match, a change of pace with fans that support him must have been nice.
Taking Crystal Palace from eighteenth in the table back in January, the Eagles now sit in the eleventh spot in the table and are completely safe from relagation. With his prior time at Palace, Pardew barring an unforseen collapse will be in charge of the club next season.
Tony Pulis
Joining a club during the middle of a season is hard. It’s even harder when that club is involved in a major relegation battle. That is exactly what Tony Pulis has done two years in a row. After saving Crystal Palace last season, Pulis resigned before the start of the campaign due to the clubs transfer policy.
Pulis then joined West Brom at the midpoint of the current season. Working his magic again, Tony Pulis is on the verge of saving another club from relegation. With a record of never having a side relegated, Pulis is definitely set to return at the Hawthorns next season.
