Which Premier League manager are you most like at work? Take the quiz to find out if you’re more Guardiola or Ferguson

A NEW quiz will reveal which Premier League manager you're most like at work.

Whether you favour Sir Alex Ferguson's "hairdryer treatment" or Pep Guardiola's tactical nous, this which legendary gaffer you resemble in the office.

Commissioned by CopyBet.com, the quiz polled 1,750 workplace managers with a love of football.

It found that 86 per cent of bosses think they have adopted traits from Premier League managers.

Such behaviours include passionate team talks, exuberant celebrations, and calls for decisions to be overturned.

A CopyBet spokesperson said: “It is exciting to see so many people taking inspiration from the world of football management and putting it into practice at their workplace.

"This was a fun exercise to see what actions bosses have taken to make themselves better managers in order to improve their workplace performance, whether that’s delivering objectives, boosting team morale, or building relationships.”

It also emerged Jurgen Klopp is the current gaffer those polled feel most resembles their approach to management – followed by Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho.

Of managers gone by, Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are the former leaders who still have the most impact on bosses today.

Methods likely used by these legends of the game and adopted by many respondents in their own workplace include giving the 'hairdryer treatment' - and wearing tracksuits to work.

Some have arranged for senior staff to attend training with younger members of the staff – the equivalent of senior players being forced to train with the youth side after a misdemeanour.

Many have some sense of what transfer deadline day is like – including losing star employees to another employer or identifying staff they’d like bring into their own workplace.

And others have even been warned about their future conduct or got into a spat with rival manager.

Of those who’ve employed methods used by football managers, 87 per cent believe their leadership skills have improved as a result and 88 per cent think they’ve become better communicators.

Almost half (45 per cent) opted to embrace such techniques in the hope of achieving team objectives, while 42 per cent wanted to improve team spirit.

However, 36 per cent simply want to create a bit of fun in the workplace.

And they seem to have been largely successful, as 53 per cent claimed employee motivation improved and 45 per cent believe their team found their methods inspirational.

Carried out through OnePoll, the study found 62 per cent claim there’s not much difference between managing staff and a team of football players.

Two in five believe they have all the attributes needed to become a top football manager, with 37 per cent claiming such a role would be “easy.”

The spokesperson for CopyBet.com added: “It goes to show just how much influence football has on our everyday lives, including in the workplace.

“Bosses have adopted traits from some of the best managers in the history of football and continue to take inspiration from the current crop.”
