What has been said about the findings?
Ekaterina Boboleva, CEO of FIRST, said: “Mikel Arteta is known as attractive to many, with his sharp jawline and tailored outfits, Arteta portrays the look of a Mediterranean model.
“Emery is handsome for his slicked-back hair and piercing stare, which can portray him as charming yet mischievous.
“Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim is effortlessly cool and has a balance between clean-cut and rugged. He has the stereotypically strong jawline, neatly trimmed beard, and piercing eyes that give him a naturally attractive look.
“The attractiveness of Premier League managers is a fun and subjective topic that can be popular across social media.”
