The Elite Club
Since the Premier League started back in 1992, hundreds of managers have stepped into the dugout. Most of them leave with a few grey hairs and an early sacking.
But a tiny, elite group of men achieved football immortality.
In over 30 years of history, only 13 different bosses have ever lifted the trophy. Here is the simple, complete guide to every single Premier League-winning manager grouped by how many times they conquered England.
The Kings of the League (Multiple Titles)
To win it once is hard. To win it multiple times means you are a tactical genius who knows how to build a dynasty.
Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester United) — 13 Titles
-
The Years: 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013
-
The Vibe: The undisputed boss. Sir Alex didn’t just build one great team; he built three or four different ones over two decades. His tally of 13 titles will likely never be broken.
Pep Guardiola (Manchester City) — 6 Titles
-
The Years: 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024
-
The Vibe: Perfection personified. Pep changed how English football is played with his heavy possession style. He created “The Centurions” (the first team to get 100 points in a season) and won four titles in a row.
Arsène Wenger (Arsenal) — 3 Titles
-
The Years: 1998, 2002, 2004
-
The Vibe: The innovator. The Frenchman changed what players ate, how they trained, and how they played. His biggest achievement? The 2003/04 “Invincibles” season, in which Arsenal went the entire year without losing a single game.
José Mourinho (Chelsea) — 3 Titles
-
The Years: 2005, 2006, 2015
-
The Vibe: Defensively bulletproof. “The Special One” arrived in London and immediately broke up the United-Arsenal dominance. In his first season, his Chelsea team conceded just 15 goals—a record that still stands.
One-Hit Wonders (Single Title Icons)
These managers only won it once, but their single triumphs were massive, unforgettable moments for their clubs.
Kenny Dalglish (Blackburn Rovers) — 1995
King Kenny” used the goals of Alan Shearer to guide Blackburn to a historic title, famously beating his old rivals Manchester United on a dramatic final day.
Carlo Ancelotti (Chelsea) — 2010
The ultimate “players’ manager.” Carlo let his Chelsea team attack with total freedom, and they became the first Premier League side to score over 100 goals in a single season.
Roberto Mancini (Manchester City) — 2012
The man on the sidelines for the most dramatic moment in football history. Mancini watched Sergio Agüero score in the 94th minute against QPR to win City’s first title on goal difference.
Manuel Pellegrini (Manchester City) — 2014
Calm and steady, the Chilean manager brought an ultra-attacking style to City, snatching the trophy late in the season after Liverpool famously slipped up.
Claudio Ranieri (Leicester City) — 2016
The architect of a genuine 5,000-to-1 miracle. Ranieri took a Leicester squad tipped for relegation and turned them into champions. It remains the greatest underdog story in sports history.
Antonio Conte (Chelsea) — 2016/17
After a rough start to the season, Conte changed Chelsea’s formation to a 3-4-3. It completely broke the league, sparking a 13-game winning streak that cruised to the title.
Jürgen Klopp (Liverpool) — 2020
With his high-energy, heavy-metal pressing style, Klopp broke Liverpool’s painful 30-year wait for a league title, completely blowing the competition away.
Arne Slot (Liverpool) — 2025
Stepping into Klopp’s massive shoes seemed impossible, but the calm Dutchman did it in his very first season, bringing a controlled, smooth style back to Anfield.
Mikel Arteta (Arsenal) — 2026
After a few years of agonizingly close second-place finishes, Arteta finally got his revenge on his old mentor Pep Guardiola, bringing the trophy back to North London with an incredibly young, hungry squad.
The Weirdest Stat in the League
Here is a brilliant trivia fact to share with your friends: No English manager has ever won the Premier League.
Every single winner has come from Scotland, Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, Germany, Chile, or the Netherlands. The last English manager to win the top flight was Howard Wilkinson in 1992, just before the Premier League was officially created!
