Which Premier League managers have the best records?
Pep Guardiola's record as a Premier League manager will probably never be bettered, while Mikel Arteta is closing in on Jurgen Klopp. The cut-off point is 50 games and there is no surprise at the lower/higher reaches of this list.
And yet he retains his place on this list ahead of Carlo Ancelotti. We can see Enzo Maresca coming up on the rails, mind… 9) Thomas Tuchel (Chelsea): 1.94 pts per game Good but ultimately not good enough for Chelsea, who sacked him in September 2022 with the Blues in sixth place.
Did Chelsea look better for sacking him? 8) Arsene Wenger (Arsenal): 1.96 pts per game The high ofthe Invincibles(2.37 PPG) became the low of his final season in charge of Arsenal (1.66 PPG), long after he probably should have walked away.
Sticking around longer than he was welcome probably cost him a few places on this list. 7) Jose Mourinho (Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham): 2.02 pts per game His final half-season at Chelsea was disastrous, his final half-season at Manchester United was little better, and Tottenham was always an uneasy union that never quite felt comfortable.
But there is no doubt that Jose Mourinhoconstructed one of the great Premier League sidesfirst time round at Chelsea. He would be wise to resist a return that would taint his legacy further.
6) Mikel Arteta (Arsenal): 2.03 pts per game Finally claimed the Premier League title he absolutely deserved in 25/26 and has now gone past Jose Mourinho and is on the coat-tails of Antonio Conte. Arteta is truly an elite Premier League football manager.
5) Antonio Conte (Chelsea and Tottenham): 2.03 pts per game In the end, he became too toxic for both Chelsea and Tottenham but the record books show that he won an awful lot of points for both clubs (and a league title for the former). He made Spursquite comfortably the fourth best side in Englandand that is some feat.
4) Roberto Mancini (Manchester City): 2.05 pts per game He won Manchester City's first Premier League title. Well, lots more apparently; he was sacked a year after he won that title having apparently failed to hit certain targets.
It now feels ludicrous that City would ever go a whole year without winning silverware but 2013 was a different time. 3) Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool): 2.11 pts per game The 2.61 PPM of the title-winning year then became 1.82 as the Reds stumbled.
