Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has overlooked former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp and instead chosen David Moyes when picking his personal selection of the Premier League's most influential managers. While Klopp has maintained a substantial influence in English football, Arteta's personal 'Mount Rushmore' emphasizes the managers who influenced him most profoundly or left a particular impression on his coaching path, and he gave special recognition to Everton manager Moyes.



"David Moyes has to be there as well, for what he did at Everton and for what he did for me personally. And then, another, I think due to the history of the Premier League and taking the level of European competition from the English perspective to a different level, Sir Alex Ferguson."

"That's what I think," he continued, when questioned whether he would never manage again. I don't miss anything." Liverpool return to Premier League action on Sunday, hosting Manchester United at Anfield, whilst Arsenal will travel to Fulham on Saturday evening.
