And according to date collected by on Valentine's Day, Nuno has the highest share of positive posts on social media.
It makes him the most beloved Prem boss on social media, with a 25 per cent positivity score.
Just behind on 21 per cent was Brentford's Thomas Frank with the returning Graham Potter - at West Ham - not far off with 18 per cent.
It is not so pleasant viewing for under-fire Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, though.

He ranks near the bottom with just eight per cent of positive posts - with 35 per cent negative.
But rock bottom sits Ipswich's Kieran McKenna - who came to the English top-flight with a stellar reputation.
The Prem new-boys have struggled and stand second to bottom.
McKenna appears to have taken the brunt of that with just four per cent of positive social media posts.

"I know the team that we’ve been and the team that we want to be again, but I also know the challenge that we have of the jump that we’ve made and how quickly it’s been made.
“The chance to go up against good Championship opposition and what that entails and the feel of that game then is a good little confidence booster, even for people in the building, on some of the work that’s going on, some of the improvement that’s being made, but it’s hard to show it against Liverpool, against Man City, against some of the toughest games you have.
“And with their being fewer games in the Premier League, it’s hard to always get the validation of the improvements that are being made for a group like ours. The couple of games in the cup have been good for that.”
