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.

4. Enzo Maresca
Enzo Maresca has one of the most successful starts to a managing career in Premier League history. 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.
3. 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.
2. Pep Guardiola
Pep Guardiola won Manchester City’s first six Premier League games as manager in 2016/17. 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.
During his time at City, he established the club as one of the dominant sides in the league’s history. The former Barcelona coach led them to unprecedented title wins during his tenure. He also set plenty of records and left with a lasting legacy.
1. Carlo Ancelotti
Carlo Ancelotti won his first six Premier League games as Chelsea manager in 2009/10. Carlo Ancelotti is among a select group of managers who began their career with six consecutive victories in the English top flight.
The Italian, renowned for winning the most Champions League trophies, took charge of the Blues, where he turned West Londoners into a force to be reckoned with. They became Premier League behemoths and one of the best sides under Ancelotti.
