If you select the first league in football today, the Premier League will definitely be the only one. With its active operation in recent years, the Premier League has surpassed other leagues in terms of attention and broadcast revenue. Many players and coaches have also regarded entering the Premier League as their biggest goal in their careers. Not long ago, the British Telegraph selected the top ten coaches in Premier League history. Although many legendary coaches in the world football world have never coached in the Premier League, this list is still star-studded.

ranked tenth is Italian coach Mancini. The only Premier League team he has coached is Manchester City. In the 2011-12 season, he led the Blue Moon to win the first Premier League championship trophy in team history, laying a good foundation for Manchester City's rise. Ranked ninth is England coach Allardyce. As a famous "relegation expert" in the Premier League, he has led many teams to magically complete relegation tasks. Although he has never led any giant teams in his entire coaching career, Allardyce is ranked ninth and there will be no controversy at all.

The eighth place is Spanish coach Benitez. He has coached four Premier League teams, Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle and Everton, and led the team to 359 games. Unfortunately, he has not won the Premier League championship trophy throughout his coaching career. Ranieri is ranked seventh. The most convincing result of his ability to enter the top ten is that he led Leicester City, which was still fighting for relegation last season, incredibly won the league championship. Leicester City has now dropped into the English Championship, but their fairy tale winning story will still be mentioned by many fans.

ranked sixth is Scottish coach Moyes. Except for his brief coaching Sociedad, he spent almost all his coaching career in Premier League teams. He has led the team to 722 Premier League games, making him the head coach with the most active coaching games in the Premier League. Ranked fifth is Liverpool's meritorious coach Klopp. Although Klopp only led the team to win the league championship once in the 9 years he led the team, the passion and combat effectiveness he gave to the team have made countless fans talk about it. I don’t know if Uncle Zha will return to Anfield in the future. I believe countless Red Army fans are waiting for that day.

ranked fourth is the madman Mourinho, who has led Chelsea to win the Premier League three times. As he said not long ago, before someone led the Blues to four league titles, he was the best coach in Chelsea's history! Ranked third is Professor Wenger. His resume does not need to be described too much. He has been persisting for 22 years and led Arsenal to win the Premier League championship trophy three times, creating an unprecedented unbeaten season win. Wenger is enough to be among the top ten in the entire football history!

The second place is Guardiola. As long as you watch football, you will definitely be familiar with this name. From the summer of 2016 to the present, Guardiola has led Manchester City to win six Premier League championship trophys, including an unprecedented four consecutive championships, thus creating the Blue Moon Dynasty. Many professional coaches regard Guardiola as their mentor, and his original tactical playing style is constantly being learned and used.

The first-ranked coach is believed to have guessed that he is Sir Ferguson, the founder of the "Red Empire". Before we knew it, Ferguson had left the coaching seat for 12 years, but Manchester United has not yet emerged from the shadow of Ferguson's retirement. I don’t know when the team that Red Devils fans are looking forward to will come.

I wonder if you have any different opinions on this ranking?
