List of Paris Saint-Germain F.C. managers

Paris Saint-Germain Football Club have had 30 managers, of whom 16 have won at least one trophy.[1][2] Argentinian coach Mauricio Pochettino is the current manager.[3] The former PSG player and captain has been in charge since January 2021.[1][4] Pierre Phelipon, for his part, became the club's first manager ever in 1970. He was also the first of two player-managers in their history, the other being Jean-Michel Larqué.[5][6] In 1971, Phelipon guided the Parisians to Ligue 1 as well as winning their maiden trophy, the Ligue 2 title.[5] Former Serbian player Velibor Vasović was the first foreign manager to coach PSG in 1976.[1]

Mauricio Pochettino

Georges Peyroche coached PSG during three years and eight months, being their longest-serving manager and, so far, the only one to hold the position for more than three seasons.[1][2] He led Paris to consecutive French Cup victories in 1982 and 1983, the club's first major titles. In 1986, Gérard Houllier became the first manager to make PSG champions of France. Artur Jorge claimed their second Ligue 1 title in 1994, winning one French Cup as well. The capital side had to wait 19 years for their third crown, clinched under Carlo Ancelotti in 2013. Laurent Blanc, Unai Emery and Thomas Tuchel have since added further league titles.[7] Ancelotti, Blanc (twice) and Emery, are the only PSG managers to have won the Ligue 1 Manager of the Season award.[8]

Laurent Blanc is the club's most successful manager in terms of trophies won, with eleven. In his three campaigns on the bench, Paris won the league and league cup double once and the domestic quadruple twice, which translates into three Ligue 1 titles, two French Cups, three French League Cups and three French Super Cups. Next is Unai Emery with one domestic quadruple, one domestic cup double and another super cup, for a total of seven trophies.[7] Thomas Tuchel completes the podium, with six trophies. He clinched the domestic quadruple once in addition to separate league and super cup titles. Most notably, he steered PSG to their first UEFA Champions League final in 2020, narrowly losing to Bayern Munich.[2][9]

PSG legendary players Luis Fernández and Ricardo were also successful managers.[7] In fact, Fernández won five trophies during two separate spells at the Parc des Princes, being only behind Blanc, Emery and Tuchel. He led the Red and Blues to their two European titles, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996 and the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2001, as well as the domestic cup double and the French Super Cup in 1995.[10] He also holds the club record for most games managed, with 244.[7] Ricardo, who succeeded Fernández, lost two European finals, the 1996 UEFA Super Cup and the 1997 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final, but guided PSG to the domestic cup double in 1998.[7][11]

Footnotes
  1. Pierre Phelipon acted as player-manager during his first season in charge.[5]
  2. Former Serbian player Velibor Vasović was the first foreign manager to coach PSG.[1]
  3. Jean-Michel Larqué acted as player-manager during his entire tenure.[6]
  4. On November 4, 1978, Paris Saint-Germain visited Monaco for a league match of the 1978–79 season. Pierre Alonzo had surprisingly resigned and his replacement, Velibor Vasović, had not yet arrived. Hence, club president Francis Borelli named the starting lineup that day. This is the only time that PSG have played an official game without a manager on the bench. Monaco won the match (2–1).[2][12]
  5. Gérard Houllier was sacked during the first half of the 1987–88 season. Houllier returned in February 1988 for the second half. He left the club in June 1988 following the end of the campaign.[1]
