The Premier League is the top tier of professional football in England. The league was formed in 1992 as a replacement for the original Football League First Division. To date, there have been 300 managers in charge of the 51 clubs which have played in the Premier League. 265 of those are permanent appointments, and 117 of them in a caretaker/interim capacity.

Arsène Wenger holds the record for most games managed in the Premier League with 828, all with Arsenal, which he managed between 1996 and 2018. The most successful manager in the Premier League is Alex Ferguson, who won 13 titles – more than twice as many as any other manager – with Manchester United between 1993 and 2013.[1] Sam Allardyce has managed the most teams in the Premier League, having taken charge of nine different clubs: Bolton Wanderers, Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers, West Ham United, Sunderland, Crystal Palace, Everton, West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United.

Managers

Summarize
Perspective

The list of managers includes everyone who has managed clubs while they were in the Premier League, whether in a permanent or temporary role. Caretaker managers are listed only when they managed the team for at least one match in that period.

The dates of appointment and departure may fall outside the club's period in the Premier League, for example, Ron Atkinson was appointed as Aston Villa manager in 1991 (before the Premier League was formed in 1992) and remained in his position through the Premier League's establishment. Similarly, Wolverhampton Wanderers' first spell in the Premier League lasted for only one season (2003–04) but manager Dave Jones remained in his position until November 2004.
