In a unique study conducted by BBC Sport, the behaviors of every Premier League manager during their respective matches were analyzed on the touchlines. The findings revealed significant differences in managerial styles and tactics.
At Everton vs Arsenal, Mikel Arteta spent a considerable amount of time close to the action, while David Moyes moved freely around his technical area. At Crystal Palace vs Brighton, Oliver Glasner was an animated figure, constantly moving around, while Fabian Hurzeler spent most of the first half just inches away from the pitch but sat for most of the second half.
At Ipswich vs Wolves, Kieran McKenna paced along the edge of the technical area, encouraging his team calmly, while Vitor Pereira, suspended, watched from the media seats and first-team coach Andre Monteiro took charge. West Ham's Graham Potter stood calmly on the edge of his technical area, while Andoni Iraola of Bournemouth was much more animated.
At Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest, both Unai Emery and Nuno Espirito Santo stood in front of their technical areas, with different communication styles. Enzo Maresca for Chelsea paced up and down constantly, while Thomas Frank of Brentford analyzed the game and made adjustments from the bench.
At Fulham vs Liverpool, both Marco Silva and Arne Slot were the ones to issue instructions to their players, with Silva expressing his views to the officials at times. Ange Postecoglou was calm throughout for Tottenham, while Ivan Juric could not stop moving for Southampton.
At Manchester United vs Manchester City, both Ruben Amorim and Pep Guardiola were active, with Amorim constantly barking instructions and Guardiola demanding more from his players.
In the relegation battle, Eddie Howe was the main figure for Newcastle, but assistant Jason Tindall also played a part. Ruud van Nistelrooy grew increasingly frustrated as Leicester struggled to keep possession.
