Despite coming face to face with his darkest season in the game, something that every player or manager is prone to facing, the only difference is how long and how frequent these dark moments last or come, Mourinho, aka the special one, aka the happy one is the best manager in the game. He can only be seconded by Carlo the Italian Ancelotti. Now being the newly appointed Manchester United manager, a club who have struggled to reflect their previous form under the former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, he is expected to make an impact starting with his first game. Chances are very high that he will deliver. He absolutely will deliver in Manchester United, only that their game will change. Mourinho is not the kind of man that believes in tiki taka kind of football. He is more of a direct kind of football approach er who has in the past been accused of packing the bus. Who cares! The points matter! He has won leagues in Portugal, England , Italy and Spain. He has won the Champions League twice and other domestic league cups"packing the bus".

Antonio Conte, currently in charge of Italy made a name when he guided Juventus to three consecutive Serie A titles. He is strict and has issues with even the small details that can range from diet and punctuality. He is guided by the passion to win, something that has seen him re invent playing formations, with his most popular ones being the 1,3,5,2 and 1,4,2,4 systems. His main reason for leaving Juventus was the unwillingness of the club to provide him with the finances to buy more players and of the quality he wanted. This can be translated to mean that in his watch, Chelsea will not experience a worn out, tired squad. He will demand to be provided with the best and only that. He is a no nonsense man. Many have compared him to Mourinho, but in my own opinion, Conte is more attached to the game than Jose is. His appointment as Chelsea coach is going to prove that he is of another grade, not the one that journalists, and sports analysts have been thinking of. True to the fact that he is currently concentrating with Italy despite being appointed as Chelsea manager. He is a focused man I must say.
The presence of other successful managers in the league is also expected to provide stiff competition but the two clubs, Chelsea Fc and Manchester United will absolutely dominate.
Why? Manchester city and Pep Guardiorla will have success in entertaining with their tiki taka kind of football but this is The Premier League, where Swansea and Arsenal have in the past passed the ball in vain! Klopp and Liverpool will be a force to reckon with but will not make an immediate impact. True to the fact that Liverpool do not like spending much in bringing in players who can boost their performances. They will likely go for good but not impacting players, and for that reason, they might struggle. Arsen Wenger and Arsenal, as usual will try to be among the top, and will, as has been a norm in the past decade. They will be a competition but not a strong one. The English game's approach should only be approached guided by a winning mentality. Winning should be the philosophy. The coming season sees only two managers guided by such a philosophy. Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte. The rest follow suit.
My opinion is that 2016/2017 English Premier League season will be won by either of the two managers or for that matter, teams.
