Multiple experts believe that Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder and not Jurgen Klopp should be handed the Manager of the Year award for the 2019-20 season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jurgen Klopp is about to deliver Liverpool’s first-ever Premier League title and the German has already scooped up multiple Manager of the Month awards this campaign so it would be befitting if he was given the ultimate prize as well.<\/p>\n

But according to Arsenal legend Lee Dixon, it’s the Sheffield United boss who deserves the accolades since he’s done a better job than Jurgen Klopp.<\/p>\n

Dixon said, as quoted<\/a>: \u201cArguably he has done a better job than what Jurgen Klopp is doing.<\/em><\/p>\n

“That place just seems to breathe hard work, that’s a given, you’ve got to give that. It’s not something you turn around and get praised for because that’s your job: work hard.<\/em><\/p>\n

“The way that they are playing, the tactics, he has surprised a lot of opposition, the way they are playing. So arguably, I think he should be up there at the top of that list.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Former Sheffield United striker Brian Deane also believes that Chris Wilder should be the Manager of the Year.<\/p>\n

“The job that Chris has done is unbelievable, his man-management has been nothing short of fantastic,”<\/em> Deane told Sky Sports News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Jurgen Klopp is an amazing manager, but I have to say if you think about the job that Chris has actually done – getting promoted and where the team are challenging – for me there’s only one person who can get that award.<\/em><\/p>\n

Chris Wilder has revealed that he pins up media criticism of his #sufc<\/a> side on the dressing room wall to enhance his players\u2019 motivation to prove their critics wrong.<\/p>\n
