Valerien Ismael is the manager of Blackburn Rovers.
Ismael was named The Sack Race's EFL Manager of the 2020/21 Season after he propelled Barnsley from relegation strugglers into the Championship play-offs, which caught the attention of West Brom.
However, he lasted just seven months at the Baggies, who sacked him in February 2022 when they were 5th in the table. He has since managed Beşiktaş and Watford.
