Iconic Managers over the years
Sir Alex Ferguson
Manchester United’s iconic 13-time Premier League-winning manager is probably the greatest Manager the Premier League has ever seen. Under his watchful eyes, Manchester United dominated the 1990’s and the 2000’s. Every player that has played under him has spoken out about how much of a father figure he is. He even officially got knighted by the Queen of England hence giving him the title ‘Sir’.
Sir Alex retired as a manager in 2012/13 ending his 26-year career as Manchester United manager right at the top of the League, as a Champion!
Arsene Wenger
The Frenchman, Arsene Wenger is an Icon to Arsenal FC and the Premier League. He joined The Gunners in 1996 and brought instant success to the club. Under his guidance, the club always played in Europe. The Frenchman led Arsenal to three premier league titles as the club became arch-rivals to Manchester United in that era.
His biggest accomplishment was in the 2003-04 season where Arsenal won “The Golden Premier League”, winning the League without losing a single game in the entire season. He ended his reign at the club in 2018.
Jose Mourinho
Chelsea’s Iconic manager Jose Mourinho is another manager who has won the league 3 times. ‘The Special One as he is branded by his beloved fans and media has been one of the best Managers ever in the premier league. His iconic rivalry with Arsene Wenger will stand the test of time.
A true Premier League legend, he has managed three clubs in the Premiership namely, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspurs. His playing style of defending and counter-attacking is now being followed by many managers around the world. Currently the Portuguese is managing Italian Club AS Roma.
Pep Guardiola
Another Modern Footballing great is Pep Guardiola. He has already guided Manchester City to three league titles and may very well add more to his resume in the coming seasons. Guardiola is known for his possession-based football style which he has followed since he was a manager at FC Barcelona.
Being the current Premier League holders, Manchester City are again favorites to win the next Premier League title in 2021/22.
Claudio Ranieri
In 2016, Claudio Ranieri did the unthinkable. He and his Leicester City squad managed to win the Premier League titles with odds over 1/2000. He instilled belief in his squad that it was quite a possible feat and led the foxes to glory. Ranieri is one of the reasons why every club outside the “Historic Top 6” believes that they have got a chance to challenge the big boys and go for the Title.
He even had a tenure at Chelsea in the 2000s but it’s safe to say that he will forever be remembered for his time at Leicester City.
Players with Most League titles
It is not surprising that most of the players with most league titles in the Premier League Era are those of Manchester United as the club has amassed 13 league titles since the Premier League era began. Let’s have a look at players with the most league titles:
