**”EPL_Best PL Managers”**

 

Overview

The top 20 managers throughout Premier League history have been assessed using criteria such as trophies achieved, duration of career, and achievement considering the clubs led.

Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp, and Pep Guardiola have all confirmed their legacies as legends of the Premier League.

Manchester United icon Sir Alex Ferguson is identified as the top manager of the Premier League period.

 

The Premier League has seen several exceptional coaches over recent years. Pep Guardiola is viewed as the best of his era, though his successful Manchester City squads have often been seriously challenged, mainly by Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, and also by Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.

 

Guardiola joins only three others in the Premier League era who have secured more than a single title win – so how does he compare to other legendary figures since the competition’s 1992 launch? This list evaluates the 20 top managers from the last 32 years of elite-level football.

 

**Assessment Criteria**

– Trophies achieved

– Time spent managing

– Achievement compared to club status
