Premier League Managers' Behaviour on the Sidelines

Analysis of Premier League managers' actions and positions during games.

Over the past three days, a BBC Sport journalist was sent to all 10 Premier League games to closely observe what each manager did as the action unfolded. The data enabled the production of heatmaps for every manager, showing their positions and interactions. Different managers displayed diverse behaviours. For instance, Mikel Arteta was highly active at Everton vs Arsenal, while David Moyes was more composed. Oliver Glasner of Crystal Palace was constantly moving, and Fabian Hurzeler of Brighton had a different pattern. Similar variations were seen in other matches.
