Ranking six Premier League managers with the best Record
The Premier League is a popular and competitive football league in the world. It is considered Europe's best league, one in which all of the best managers and players aspire to work.
Legendary players and coaches have competed in the league to help their respective clubs achieve success.
The Premier League has been lucky to have the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, and more recently, Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp. Many more outstanding tacticians have managed multiple clubs and enjoyed great success.
Thus, let's take a look at six Premier League managers who achieved the feat of most wins after 100 games:
Jose Mourinho, 73 wins
Jose Mourinho can be considered one of the best managers in Premier League history, dominating the league during his first spell with Chelsea. After joining Manchester United in 2016, the Portuguese also became their manager. Mourinho has three Premier League titles, all with the London club.
No manager in the Premier League's first 100 games has ever won more than Jose Mourinho.After leading Porto to Champions League glory, the Portuguese strategist walked into Chelsea and called himself the 'Special One' before proving his argument.
In his first two seasons with Chelsea, he won back-to-back titles, the first in 2004/05 ending Chelsea's 50-year drought for a trophy and with a record low of only 15 goals scored against them.
In 2005/06, Chelsea won 20 of their first 22 league games, the best start to a title defence in Premier League history.
Pep Guardiola, 73 wins
Pep Guardiola recently became the first manager in Premier League history to reach 150 victories in only 204 games. With Manchester City, the Spaniard has already won three league titles. Guardiola will continue to improve his record and climb the ranks in the coming days.
Pep Guardiola is tied with Jose Mourinho for the most wins in his first 100 Premier League games, with 73 wins.
Guardiola's first season at Manchester City saw the team finish third before the Spaniard's side reached unparalleled heights the following season.
The City became the first team in Premier League history to reach 100 points in a season, breaking a slew of other marks along the way, including the most wins (32), the most consecutive wins (18), the most goals scored (106) and the most significant margin of victory (19 points).
Guardiola has subsequently added two more Premier League titles to his illustrious resume, while City is currently leading the fight for a fourth trophy in five seasons in 2021/22.
Manuel Pellegrini, 65 wins
Manuel Pellegrini, the former Real Madrid coach, is the second Manchester City manager to appear, taking over at the Etihad in 2013.
In his first season in charge, Pellegrini guided City to the Premier League title. The eventual champions finished the season on a five-game winning streak to edge off Liverpool.
The Chilean could not repeat his achievement in subsequent seasons, as City finished second the following season before his reign ended with a fourth-place result in 2015/16.
Antonio Conte, 65 wins
Antonio Conte has equalled Manuel Pellegrini's record of 65 Premier League victories in his first 100 games, with the Italian also winning the title in his first season in England in 2016/17.
Chelsea went on a run to the title after Conte switched to his favoured 3-4-3 system, equaling the Premier League record for consecutive victories (13) and fewest draws in a season (3).
The West Londoners set a new record for the most wins (30) and the second-highest points total (93) in Premier League history.
Conte left Chelsea only two seasons after the defending champions failed to finish in the top four in 2017/18, only to return to Spurs early this season.
Sir Alex Ferguson, 62 wins
Sir Alex Ferguson as a manager, had won the most games in Premier League history. The renowned Scot won 528 games out of 810 games as a manager. During his 27-year career with Manchester United, he won 14 league titles. He has 48 trophies to his name, making him possibly the most successful manager in history.
During the Premier League's debut season, Ferguson led the Red Devils to their first league title in 26 years before beginning an era of sustained success that saw the Old Trafford club take a stranglehold on the division.
Ferguson's first century of games resulted in 62 victories, a run of form that saw United win seven of the Premier League's first nine seasons.
Roberto Mancini, 62 wins
Matching Sir Alex's achievement of 62 wins. In 2009, Manchester City appointed Roberto Mancini as manager, succeeding the ousted Mark Hughes at the start of the club's billionaire-backed era.
Mancini, who had won three Serie A titles with Inter Milan, immediately impacted Etihad, leading the club to its first major trophy in 35 years, the FA Cup, during the 2010/11 season.
Most memorable being on the season's final day, Sergio Aguero's spectacular stoppage-time goal against QPR crowned City Premier League winners the following season. Mancini won 62 of his first 100 games in the Premier League to his credit. He is currently in charge of the Italian national team. Mancini led the Azzurri to victory at the postponed Euro 2020 last summer.
