PREMIER LEAGUE managers have been ranked from most to least handsome using AI technology.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta took his team to the summit of the table on Saturday as they beat Brentford 2-1 at the Emirates.
And they now head into the final 10 games of the season looking to maintain that position as Liverpool and Manchester City bid to overhaul them after playing out a 1-1 draw at Anfield.
But while Arteta’s Gunners may occupy top spot, the Spaniard is playing catch-up to another Premier League head coach in a whole different way.
That is because the ex-Everton midfielder has only ranked second on the list of the best-looking managers in the division – while there is no place in the top 10 for Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp, Chelsea’s Mauricio Pochettino, or Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou.
Here is a breakdown of the top 10 according to AI software AttractivenessTest.com – used by InstantCasinos.com.

8) Vincent Kompany – 5.87
Burnley have won just three of their 28 Premier League games so far this season, so manager Vincent Kompany, 37, needs all the wins he can get.
And he has made it into the top eight on this list – but failed to crack 6 out of 10 on the attractiveness score.
7) Nuno Espirito Santo – 6
Nottingham Forest head coach Nuno Espirito Santo may have suffered a dismal time with Tottenham, but he still has looks on his side.
The Portuguese boss recently celebrated his 50th birthday, but remains one of the most handsome managers in the Premier League.
6) Marco Silva – 6.32
Fulham boss Marco Silva, 46, narrowly misses out on a spot in the top five despite returning the same score as the manager above him.
But he does have bragging rights over compatriot Nuno as the best-looking Portuguese coach in the division.
5) Thomas Frank – 6.32
Brentford manager Thomas Frank, 50, is the highest-ranking coach from managers currently in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
The Bees sit just five points above the relegation zone, but the Danish boss’ handsomeness is not something that will keep him up at night.
4) Pep Guardiola – 6.85
Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola, 53, is bidding for a historic fourth successive Premier League title this season.
But he will have to settle for fourth on this list as he failed to join three others managers in exceeding a 7 out of 10 attractiveness rating.
3) Gary O’Neil – 7.2
Wolves boss Gary O’Neil, 40, led his side to a sensational 2-1 victory over Man City earlier this season.
Now the ex-Portsmouth midfielder has another win over Guardiola as he takes third spot ahead of the Treble-winning coach.
2) Mikel Arteta – 8.13
Many Arsenal fans may have expected Arteta, 41, to clinch top spot when it came to the most attractive Premier League managers.
But while the Spaniard secured an impressive rating of 8.13, he has to settled for the runners-up spot.
