The Premier League has had some of the greatest managers football has ever seen since it’s creation in 1992. From Sir Alex Ferguson to Arsene Wenger and now Pep Guardiola, the best coaches regularly end up in England’s top flight.
Nowadays, managers don’t have as much time to make an impact, making it more important than ever that they get results quickly, regardless of the style.

20 Rob Edwards Wolves
New Wolves manager Rob Edwards faces a tough task to keep the Old Gold in the Premier League, and his only prior experience of managing in the top flight came with Luton Town.
Edwards failed to keep the Hatters in the division in 2024, losing 24 of his 38 games in charge that season.
19 Scott Parker Burnley
Scott Parker will be looking to buck the trend and keep his newly-promoted Burnley side in the Premier League.
The Clarets boss previously suffered two relegations when in charge of Fulham and averages less than a point per game in the top flight.
18 Daniel Farke Leeds
Another manager who has been relegated from the Premier League on two occasions is Leeds boss Daniel Farke.
He couldn’t keep Norwich City in the top flight, and like Parker, averages less than one point per game in the division.
17 Keith Andrews Brentford
Keith Andrews is in the early stages of his senior managerial career after taking over from Thomas Frank at Brentford.
The Irishman has made a relatively positive start, beating both Liverpool and Man Utd at the Gtech Community Stadium.
16 Nuno Espirito Santo West Ham
Nuno Espirito Santo has had some brilliant moments in the Premier League, taking both Wolves and Nottingham Forest into the Europa League.
However, the Portuguese boss has also had a failed stint at Tottenham and is now struggling to get the best out of his West Ham squad.
15 Sean Dyche Nottingham Forest
Back in the Premier League with Nottingham Forest, Sean Dyche has plenty of experience in the top flight following previous stints with Burnley and Everton.
He did a solid job at both, even taking the Clarets into the Europa League back in 2018. His football may not be the most attractive, but Dyche gets the job done more often than not and will be looking to do just that with Nottingham Forest.
14 Marco Silva Fulham
An experienced Premier League manager after stints with Hull City, Watford and Everton, Marco Silva has enjoyed the majority of his success in England with Fulham.
He’s managed more games at Craven Cottage than what he did with the three aforementioned clubs combined, helping make Fulham an established top flight side.
13 Ruben Amorim Man Utd
After starring at Sporting CP, Ruben Amorim has struggled to make his 3-4-2-1 system work for large parts of his Man Utd tenure.
However, there have been signs of promise at Old Trafford and there is no doubting the Portuguese boss is a top manager.
It looks as if the Red Devils will stick with Amorim, which could be a wise move in the long run, should he find the type of form he had with his previous employers.
12 David Moyes Everton
The most experienced Premier League manager of the 20 top flight bosses, David Moyes has now taken charge of more than 700 games at the highest level in England.
The Scot has guided Everton away from trouble in his second stint on Merseyside and the job he did with West Ham can now be looked back on as a major success following the troubles the Hammers have had since.
11 Fabian Hurzeler Brighton
The youngest ever permanent manager in Premier League history, Brighton’s move for Fabian Hurzeler has paid off so far.
The German’s possession-based style and attacking philosophy has seen the Seagulls record some impressive wins at the Amex Stadium, and he could be the one to take the club back into European competition.
