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.
