Mikel Arteta snubs Jurgen Klopp for David Moyes as Prem's all-time great bosses named

Mikel Arteta has raised eyebrows by omitting Jurgen Klopp from his personal list of the Premier League's most influential managers.

Klopp's nine-year tenure at Liverpool was successful, delivering some of the club's greatest modern-era achievements, including aPremier League title, a Champions League crown, an FA Cup, two EFL Cups, the Community Shield, a UEFA Super Cup, and a FIFA Club World Cup.

In the 2019/20 season, Liverpool also became the fastest team to reach 30 wins in a season and came within one point of the 100-point mark.

Arteta, who has been building his own managerial legacy at Arsenal since taking over from Unai Emery in 2019, has already lifted the FA Cup and two Community Shields.

He has lifted the FA Cup and two Community Shields, but the Premier League title, the ultimate prize, is still missing.

While Klopp has been a major figure in English football, Arteta's personal 'Mount Rushmore' highlights the managers who influenced him most directly or had a particular impact on his managerial career - and named current Everton boss David Moyes over Klopp.

During a, Arteta was asked who would make his list of all-time Premier League managers.

He said: "Well, for personal attachment, for sure Arsene Wenger and Pep [Guardiola] has to be there 100 per cent.

"David Moyes has to be there as well, for what he did at Everton and for what he did for me personally.

"And then, another, I think due to the history of the Premier League and taking the level of European competition from the English perspective to a different level, Sir Alex Ferguson."

Arsenal return to Premier League action on Saturday evening, facing Fulham at Craven Cottage, while Liverpool host Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday (4:30pm). The two teams are separated by just one point.
