Test Your Knowledge: Can You Name These Premier League Bosses From Their Playing Days?

Here's a proper head-scratcher for your Friday afternoon: how well do you know the playing careers of the men currently barking orders from the technical area in the Premier League?

Some of today's top-flight managers enjoyed stellar playing days—silverware, accolades, the lot. Others? Well, let's just say their Wikipedia pages tell rather different stories. But every single one of them played the game at some level, and that's where this week's challenge comes in.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to identify each Premier League manager based on their playing career trajectory. Armed with nothing but the breadcrumb trail from their Wikipedia entry, you'll need to work out who they are—either by naming the manager directly or telling us which club they currently manage.

Ready to give it a go? Best of luck.

Whether you're a Manchester United devotee, a City fanatic, a Liverpool loyalist, or you bleed red for Arsenal, Chelsea, or Spurs, there's something here to test your mettle.
