Mauricio Pochettino misses out on the top 10, along with Barcelona boss Luis Enrique
The Premier League may once again have floundered in the Champions League this year, but its coaches are still considered the best in the world, according to newspaper L'Equipe.
Pep Guardiola, despite an up-and-down season with Manchester City, has been named the best coach in the world by the prestigious French daily.
And he is joined by three Premier League rivals in the top ten; Antonio Conte (2), Jose Mourinho (5) and Jurgen Klopp (10).
Mauricio Pochettino, who has revolutionised Tottenham Hotspur, comes in at twelfth while L'Equipe could only find room for compatriot Arsene Wenger at 20.
