Time is something today’s managers often lack.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s first Manchester United trophy came in his third season as manager, and his first league title in his seventh season. Ferguson may not have been given that opportunity today.

Winning a trophy in the second season without winning one in the first season is not a very common situation in the Premier League.

Postecoglou will join a very elite list that includes Pep Guardiola, Roberto Mancini, Louis van Gaal and Mourinho.

In his second season at Chelsea, Mourinho guided them to the EFL Cup, beating Spurs 2-0 in the 2015 final.

While Guardiola failed to win anything in his first season with Manchester City, he secured the Premier League and EFL Cup in his second season.
