Top five managers with most Premier League Manager of the Season awards

Manchester Clubs managers have dominated the list

The Premier League has had its fair share of exemplary players and managers over the years. This has made the English top division arguably the best in the world in terms of competition.

Teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool dominated the league. Some managers have made a great impact in the English top division.

Let's take a look at the top five managers with the most Premier League Manager of the Season awards.

5. Jurgen Klopp - Liverpool

The German manager first came into the spotlight when he was managing Borussia Dortmund. When Klopp joined Liverpool, they were in a big mess and struggling. He came to the club and made a few changes.

Under a very tight spending budget, Klopp has developed the Liverpool squad and made them formidable. Liverpool, under their German manager, have won the league title, the UCL title, the UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup, the Carabao Cup, and the FA Cup. Jurgen Klopp has won the award twice. He is the current holder of the award after winning it in the previous season. (2021-22)

4. Jose Mourinho - Chelsea

The "Special One" achieved wonders in Chelsea. After winning the UEFA Champions League with Porto, Mourinho took on the challenge in England and passed with wonder. He was the most successful manager at Chelsea, winning six trophies in three years. This includes a league title as well.

Moreover, Mourinho's Chelsea were undefeated in all home league games for that particular time span. Chelsea also established the record for winning the league with the fewest goals conceded (15). In 2015, his comeback to Chelsea was iconic.

Just one year after rejoining Chelsea, his side won the league title. Mourinho won the Manager of the Season award while Chelsea lost just three games all season.

The Portuguese manager then also won a double with Manchester United. He won the Europa League and the FA Cup with the Red Devils. Overall, Jose won the award three times.

3. Arsene Wenger - Arsenal

Arsenal succeeded under Arsene Wenger. One of his biggest and perhaps best achievements as a manager was winning the Premier League title undefeated. The 2003 Arsenal squad won the title undefeated and was known as the "Invincibles". 

The Frenchman also led the Gunners to seven FA Cup titles. He won the Premier League Manager of the Season award three times in his managerial career.

2. Pep Guardiola - Manchester City

The Spanish manager has won the Premier League title four times in the five years since he took charge at Manchester City. He has also won four Carabao Cups. Moreover, Pep Guardiola has turned Manchester City into a regular contender for the league title as well as the UCL title.

It is not surprising to see the Soanush on this list. The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager has won the award three times.

1. Sir Alex Ferguson - Manchester United

The undisputed champion, the legend Sir Alex Ferguson, has won the most Manager of the Season awards in PL history. This is no surprise, as he made Manchester United one of the best teams in football. Under the Scottish manager, Manchester United won 13 league titles, five FA Cups, and two Champions League titles.

He is also famously known for helping Cristiano Ronaldo reach his absolute best. It is certain that, as of now, no manager can topple Sir Alex Ferguson's record. The former Manchester United manager has won the award an astonishing 11 times.
