List of Paris Saint-Germain FC managers

Paris Saint-Germain FC have had 32 managers, 18 of whom have won at least one trophy. Former Spanish international Luis Enrique is the club's current manager, having been in charge since July 2023.[1] Pierre Phelipon, appointed in August 1970, was PSG's first manager. He was also one of only two player-managers in the club's history, the other being Jean-Michel Larqué.[2][3] Phelipon guided the Parisians to their first trophy, the Ligue 2 title, in 1971.[2]

Georges Peyroche managed PSG for three years and seven months, making him the club's longest-serving manager.[4] He led Paris to consecutive Coupe de France triumphs in 1982 and 1983, securing the first major trophies in the club's history. In 1986, Gérard Houllier became the first manager to guide PSG to the French league title. Since then, Artur Jorge, Carlo Ancelotti, Laurent Blanc, Unai Emery, Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, Christophe Galtier and Luis Enrique have all added league championships to the club's honours list. During their brief spells in charge, Alain Giresse and Guy Lacombe won a Trophée des Champions and a Coupe de France, respectively.[1]

Luis Enrique is the club's most successful manager in terms of trophies won, with twelve. In his three seasons in charge, PSG won two consecutive UEFA Champions League titles, one UEFA Super Cup, one FIFA Intercontinental Cup, three Ligue 1 championships, two Coupe de France, and three Trophée des Champions. Laurent Blanc ranks second with eleven trophies, including three Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France, three Coupe de la Ligue, and three Trophée des Champions. Unai Emery completes the podium with seven trophies and is closely followed by Thomas Tuchel with six.[1] Tuchel also led PSG to their first Champions League final in 2020.[1][5]

Former PSG players Luis Fernandez, Ricardo, Mauricio Pochettino, Vahid Halilhodžić, Antoine Kombouaré and Paul Le Guen all enjoyed varying degrees of success as managers.[1] Fernandez won five trophies across two separate spells, including the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996 and the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2001.[1][6] He also holds the club record for most matches managed, with 244.[1] Ricardo lost two European finals, the 1996 UEFA Super Cup and the 1997 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final, but won the Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue in 1998.[1][7] Under Pochettino, PSG secured their tenth French league title. Halilhodžić and Kombouaré each won a Coupe de France, while Le Guen claimed a Coupe de la Ligue title.[1]

Footnotes

edit
  1. On November 4, 1978, Paris Saint-Germain visited Monaco for a league match of the 1978–79 season. Manager Pierre Alonzo had unexpectedly resigned, and his replacement, Velibor Vasović, had yet to arrive. Club president Francis Borelli announced the starting lineup that day. This is the only time PSG have played an official match without a manager on the bench. They lost 2–1.[5][8]
