I have been one who thinks that player development is one aspect that a manager in a top flight places little time and effort in given his realm of duties and demands. A top flight manager's time and effort tends to focus much more on player management, utilization, scheme. Player skills such as technical ability and awareness have been developed for quite a while by the time a player reaches top flight status. However, some managers can develop a reputation as being good stewards of young talent, applying the finishing polish and honing of a player's skill and development.

In your opinion, who are the managers that are adept at nurturing and raising young talent?

Some names to consider: Tuchel, Klopp, Pochettino, Monk, Berizzo, Weinzierl, Martinez, De Boer, Emery, Di Francesco, Cocu, Sousa, Hasi, Fournier, Lopetegui, Marcelino?

I am partial to Tuchel, Pochettino, De Boer because I am more familiar with them.

I'm always reminded that we got the wrong Jurgen... Klopp is pretty good. He brings the motivation + tactical smarts.

Wenger, Guardiola, Klopp, Tuchel are the first ones that come to mind. I don't consider myself very knowledgeable on this subject though.

Wenger has his flaws but he is really good with young talent.

Klopp has to be up there.

Pellers. City have the GOAT academy and give EVERY young player a chance.

Say what you will, but Arsene Wenger. He has turned nobodies into house hold names. Also guys like Bergkamp and Henry turned their careers around moving to the Arsenal.

You want a guy who knows how to get the best out of what he has, who won't throw his players under the bus, and who excels at putting them in position to succeed while being saddled with a cheap arse ownership group that barely invests in the team and instead hopes for the best with young cheap talent?

Oscar Pareja of FC Dallas

I'm serious.

You are absolutely right. Pareja is an outstanding developer of young talent and a great manager. I would probably add Berhalter as well.

You need to define young talent. The manager oversees all, but they´re not running what´s going on with the inferior categories on a day to day basis.

They are being informed by those they´ve hopefully chosen (many inherit infrastructure).

If by this you´re referring to giving a precocious one a chance at the big time, that depends upon the club at any given time (results and classification, the match in which to introduce them, etc.), and the ´pecking order´.

Mauricio Pochettino is basically cultivating the entire English youth system by himself

That's why I said Wenger. He is so entrenched in the club. He is a true manager, not just a coach. Which is also why a lot of Arsenal fans are on the line about him. Replacing Wenger isn't as easy as just changing the coach of the SR team.

LvG has a proven track record of playing youth

It's one positive we can take from his time at United
