Every Current Premier League Manager Ranked by Major Trophies Won
Behind every successful Premier League club is a manager. It’s obvious, right? But without a man in the dugout to inspire wins, lead training sessions and shout instructions from the side, it’s all futile – and that is highlighted by their bloated trophy cabinets.
The crème de la crème manage to carve a habit of winning silverware, while there are plenty that often struggle to do so. It’s all about creating legacies and there are managers in the English top flight that stand taller above the rest.
From Manchester United’s Ruben Amorim to Kieran McKenna of Ipswich Town, we take a look at how many major trophies all 20 managers in the Premier League have won. Below is a list of what silverware is considered to be a ‘major trophy’.
All European trophies (Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League), top flight titles across all countries and each nation’s first-choice cup competition are considered to be a major trophy.
19. Enzo Maresca – 0
18. Andoni Iraola – 0
Bournemouth have a gem in Andoni Iraola, highlighted by the fact that he’s being mooted as Pep Guardiola’s inevitable replacement at Manchester City. Things haven’t always gone swimmingly for the Spaniard on the south coast – and that extends to the entirety of his career in the dugout. As things stand, he’s lifted zero major trophies. Watch this space!
17. Thomas Frank – 0
In Gtech Community Stadium circles, Thomas Frank is held in high regard. Not only is he tactically adaptable, but his clear and coherent skills are what make him such an attractive option for clubs of a bigger stature. Unfortunately for the seasoned Dane, he’s still yet to taste silverware in his lengthy career at the helm. Trophies are inevitable, it’s just whether he can achieve that in west London.
16. Kieran McKenna – 0
Despite facing relegation back down to England’s second tier, there is a buzz surrounding Kieran McKenna after beginning his managerial career at Manchester United. Now in charge of Ipswich Town, the 38-year-old from Coa, Northern Ireland, is yet to win a trophy. But it’s only a matter of time, it seems.
15. Fabian Hurzeler – 1
Fabian Hurzeler, aged 31, became the youngest permanent manager in Premier League history when he joined Brighton & Hove Albion from St. Pauli. Albeit inexperienced, he made a name for himself in Germany and his stint in England but, despite winning the 2.Bundesliga, a major trophy still evades him.
14. Nuno Espirito Santo – 1
Nuno Espirito Santo’s spell in charge of Nottingham Forest has been the stuff of dreams at the City Ground faithful will be hoping that he’s able to emulate the success he endured in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ittihad. The veteran became a Saudi Pro League champion in 2022/23, which is the only trophy of his career.
13. Oliver Glasner – 1
There are not many Europa League winners on this list – but Oliver Glasner, 50, is among them. In 2021/22, while in the Eintracht Frankfurt dugout, the Austrian reigned supreme in Europe’s second tier competition. As things stand, that’s the only trophy of his managerial career.
12. David Moyes – 1
Tumultuous is, perhaps, the word to describe David Moyes’ career. Chosen as the man to continue Sir Alex Ferguson’s legacy at Old Trafford, it didn’t work out and he’s since managed at West Ham and Everton. Though, it was at the former where he lifted Europa Conference League gold – a memory that will never die for the east Londoners.
11. Ruud van Nistelrooy – 1
Looking to get his skin into the game like he did when leading the line for the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid, Ruud van Nistelrooy’s stint in charge of Leicester City has not gone swimmingly – but he’s still secured the same number of trophies as the likes of Arteta and Moyes. That’s from the 2022/23 campaign when he won the Dutch Cup with PSV Eindhoven.
10. Graham Potter – 1
Solihull-born, Graham Potter was one of the most exciting managers in the world while at Brighton. His Chelsea stint reduced his stock and he’s now back in England, at the helm of West Ham United. The solitary trophy of his career came for Ostersunds FK in 2016/17 when they won the Swedish Cup.
9. Mikel Arteta – 1
Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta, who is one of Pep Guardiola’s many disciples, inherited a squad knitted together by the legendary Arsene Wenger – and within months, he won the oldest competition in football history: the FA Cup. Since then, the north Londoners have failed to win anything. They’ve somewhat become England’s nearlymen in their pursuit of extra silverware.
8. Eddie Howe – 1
Eddie Howe’s stint in charge of Bournemouth was nothing short of magical – from League Two to the Premier League. His reputation in the English game was boosted tenfold, so much so that Newcastle United secured his services – and he has since ended the club’s decades-long trophy drought by winning the 2024/25 League Cup against Liverpool.
7. Marco Silva – 2
There’s a reason why Marco Silva is such a sought-after presence in the managerial sphere: his Fulham side are always a tough opponent and that’s attributed to the Portuguese’s brilliance. He’s yet to taste success in the English capital, but the 47-year-old has experienced it elsewhere – a Portuguese Cup with Sporting GP and Greece’s top flight with Olympiacos.
6. Arne Slot – 3
Taking his tally to three recently, Arne Slot adopted Jurgen Klopp’s star-studded team in the summer of 2024 and won the Premier League at the first time of asking. With his former employers, Feyenoord, he won the Eredivise and the Dutch Cup in back-to-back campaigns. As long as he remains at the Anfield helm, his collection is poised to grow exponentially.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Slot, in 2024/25, became the fifth manager to win the Premier League title in his maiden season.
5. Vitor Pereira – 5
Before arriving at English shores as the new face in charge of Wolverhampton Wanderers, Vitor Pereira had a knack of adding trophies to his CV – especially during his 93-outing stint with FC Porto. In Portugal, he won two league titles. Elsewhere, he’s enjoyed success in the form of silverware at Olympiacos and Shanghai SIPG.
4. Ruben Amorim – 6
Ever since replacing Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, Ruben Amorim has endured a difficult time in Stretford. But pre-Old Trafford, Libson-born Amorim made a compelling case to be one of Europe’s most successful head coaches – that’s evidenced by his throng of silverware, including two top flight titles in his homeland in 2020/21 and 2023/24.
3. Unai Emery – 9
If you take his Arsenal stint at face value, it would be assumed that Unai Emery tends to struggle when getting the best out of some of the greatest stars in Europe. As one of the longest-serving managers in the Premier League, the 53-year-old has endured success since stepping into the world of management – at Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla, most notably.
2. Ange Postecoglou – 12
Ange Postecoglou stands by his mantra that winning silverware in his second season is always the case – and whether that is the case at Tottenham Hotspur remains to be seen. But he’s picked up plenty of silverware pre-north London, which includes two Scottish Premiership titles with his former employers, Celtic.
1. Pep Guardiola – 29
No gold medal for guessing who was going to top the list: Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola is a serial winner. Pre-England, the Catalonia-born tactician was a trophy-winning force with Bayern Munich and Barcelona. At the time of writing, Guardiola has 29 major trophies – including a trio of Champions Leagues – in his repertoire.
