00:00Taking charge in the West Midlands, Vitor Pereira rescued Wolves from relegation danger with an extraordinary turnaround.
00:09The Portuguese coach inspired belief at Molyneux, guiding the club to safety with a historic winning streak
00:14and restoring pride in a region steeped in football tradition.
00:21Well, it's Arnie Schlott who headlines the nominees for the 2024-25 Premier League Manager of the Season Award,
00:27but there is no place for Bournemouth's Andoni Iriola, despite his widely praised work.
00:34Schlott has enjoyed a sensational debut campaign in England, guiding Liverpool to just their second Premier League title
00:40and first since 2019-20, after succeeding Jurgen Klopp last summer.
00:46The Reds clinched the title with four games to spare, matching Manchester United's tally of 20 top-flight championships.
00:53Despite the league's success, Schlott's season wasn't without setbacks.
00:57Liverpool lost the Carabao Cup final to Newcastle, exited the Champions League on penalties to PSG
01:03and were stunned by Plymouth in the FA Cup fourth round.
01:08Joining Schlott on the shortlist is Eddie Howe, who led Newcastle to a top-five finish
01:13and a return to the Champions League while delivering their first domestic trophy since 1955.
01:19Nino Espirito Santo is also recognised after transforming Nottingham Forest into European contenders and FA Cup semi-finalists.
01:29Forest spent time in the top three and remained seventh with two matches to go.
01:34Thomas Drank is another nominee, having steered Brentford to eighth and into European contention,
01:40what would be their best ever Premier League finish.
01:43The Bees also reached the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
01:45Completing the list is Vitor Pereira, who took over from Gary O'Neill at Wolves in December
01:51and spired a remarkable turnaround as Wolves climbed from relegation danger to 14th,
01:56thanks to a record-setting run of six consecutive league victories.
02:02Well, with Schlott the favourite but a very even list of nominees throughout,
02:07plenty of top-five managers have put their clubs back in the conversation this campaign.
