Who's the best Premier League boss?

Sir Alex Ferguson is the best manager in the Premier League era - and Arsene Wenger has beaten Jose Mourinho to second place, according to a new Sky Sports study.


Former Manchester United boss Ferguson – who won 13 Premier League titles – comfortably saw off his rivals to top our rankings table, while Wenger’s consistency at Arsenal edged him ahead of Chelsea’s Mourinho.
Further down the list, Manchester City title-winners Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini completed the top five, while Roy Evans is the top-ranked English boss in 10th.

To compile the table, we(sky sports) awarded managers points on the following criteria:
– Points-per-game
– Titles won
– Top-four finishes
– Longevity

The manager’s points-per-game record was multiplied by 10, while 50 points were awarded for each title win, 15 for a top-four finish and five for every 100 Premier League games managed.

For every relegation suffered, the manager lost 30 points – meaning Harry Redknapp, despite leading Tottenham to two top-four finishes, just misses out.

Redknapp has a 1.36 points-per-game record from his 641 Premier League games managed and would be placed 14th on the list if it were not for his relegations with Southampton and QPR.

The table only includes managers who have managed at least 50 Premier League games, too, so there is no place for Louis van Gaal or Guus Hiddink.

However, the rankings do not take into account a manager’s success in the transfer market, development of young players, or triumphs in cup competitions.
