Only a handful of managers have achieved this record. When a manager is named head coach of a Premier League team, he is given one of the most challenging responsibilities in his coaching career.

Succeeding in the finest league (as per viewer data and competition) requires managers who can perform under extreme pressure. However, only a few managers have been able to establish a precedent with their individual clubs.

Not only leading them to victories but also creating an identity for them and solidifying their status as one of the league's greatest teams. With this, we look at the four managers who have won their first six games in command of a PL team.

James's Park in Newcastle, United Kingdom, on December 20, 2025. Sunday's 3-0 victory against Liverpool made it six wins in six games since the Italian took over from Pep Guardiola this summer.

After Guardiola, Maresca became the second City manager to win his first six Premier League games in charge. So Maresca joins a very elite group.

To do so at Anfield, where City had won only three league games before the turn of the decade, only adds to his team's growing success. Ole Gunnar Solskjær Ole Gunnar Solskjær Ole Gunnar Solskjaer earned his first six Premier League wins as Manchester United manager after taking over in December 2018.

He became the first coach in United history to win his first six league games in charge, breaking Sir Matt Busby's previous record of five victories. After taking charge from Jose Mourinho in December, the Norwegian breathed new life into a club that had lost confidence and consistency.

He is one of just a handful of Premier League managers in history to establish a six-match winning run at the start of their tenure.
