The upcoming opposition's boss has been taunting you in his pre-match conference. Do you stick it back or leave the talking to the players?
A useful fringe player is unhappy with his first-team opportunities. Do you offer him a place in the squad to prove himself or tell him to work harder in training for his spot in the XI?

You're the boss, know exactly where you want to go and don't care about any collateral damage you'll cause along the way. Who needs friends anyway?
Jurgen Klopp
Jurgen Klopp
You've got a philosophy you know will work given time, but it's not breakable – there's room for manoeuvre, which might well include giving the kids their chances. You won't let anyone mug you off in public, mind.

Arsene Wenger

You know flexibility is the best approach, and your players love you for it. They won't expect an easy ride, though - you put your trust in a core group, and expect them to do the business.
Mauricio Pochettino
Mauricio Pochettino
Quiet, methodical and always eyeing on the future – but your first interests are always with building with what you've got right now. Dipping into the transfer market isn't a dirty proposition, but you know there's a brilliant academy at your disposal and aren't afraid to use it.
Ronald Koeman

You know where you want to be – this current job is just a means to an end. Still, you're a firm hand who isn't willing to bend easily to your players' desires. If they need a kick up the backside, they'll get one.
