In a recent survey conducted by Stocklytics, Premier League fans have cast their votes, and the verdict is in: Jurgen Klopp, the charismatic manager of Liverpool, has been dubbed the ‘Most Annoying' manager in the league. Klopp clinched the top spot with 16% of the votes, closely trailed by Erik ten Hag, Manchester United's counterpart, who secured 14% of the votes. The survey gathered responses from 1,000 Premier League fans, asking them which manager annoys them the most.

Klopp and Ten Hag emerged as frontrunners, leaving other notable figures not far behind. Mikel Arteta from Arsenal and Pep Guardiola of Manchester City claimed the third and fourth positions, respectively, reflecting the range of sentiments fans harbor toward these high-profile managers.

Interestingly, Aston Villa's Unai Emery and AFC Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, despite earning praise from their own supporters this season, found themselves in the unofficial Top Seven of the ‘Most Annoying' managers. It appears that even successful tenures can't escape the occasional irritation from the fans.
