List of Paris Saint-Germain F.C. managers

Paris Saint-Germain Football Club have had 26 permanent managers and four interim managers, for a total of 30 managers (of whom 16 have won at least one trophy).[1][2] German coach and former player Thomas Tuchel is the current manager. He has been in charge since June 2018.[1] On the other hand, Pierre Phelipon, appointed in July 1970, was the club's first manager ever. He was also the first of only two player-managers in their history, the other being Jean-Michel Larqué.[3][4] Phelipon guided the Parisians to Ligue 1 in 1971 and won their maiden trophy, the Ligue 2 title.[3]

Current manager Thomas Tuchel.

Former Serbian player Velibor Vasović became the first foreign manager to coach PSG in 1976. Just Fontaine and Robert Vicot were the club's first co-managers between 1973 and 1975.[1] They were followed by Pierre Alonzo and Ilija Pantelić in 1977 (interim),[5] Alonzo and Camille Choquier in 1979 (interim),[5] Gérard Houllier and Erick Mombaerts in 1988,[1] and, finally, Ricardo and Joël Bats from 1996 to 1998.[1] Alonzo was also sole interim manager in 1978,[5] while Christian Coste became the club's last interim manager to date in 1985.[6]

Georges Peyroche coached PSG during four years, becoming the club's longest-serving manager as well as the only one to hold the position for more than three seasons.[1][2] He led the Parisian side to their first major titles with two consecutive Coupe de France wins in 1982 and 1983.[7] Gérard Houllier then became the first manager to make PSG champions of France by claiming the Ligue 1 title in 1986. He was followed by Artur Jorge (1994), Carlo Ancelotti (2013), Laurent Blanc (2014, 2015, 2016), Unai Emery (2018) and Thomas Tuchel (2019, 2020).[1]

Laurent Blanc is the club's most successful manager in terms of trophies won, with 11. In his three seasons in charge, Paris won three Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France, three Coupe de la Ligue and three Trophée des Champions. Unai Emery is next with seven trophies in two seasons, including one Ligue 1 title, two Coupe de France, two Coupe de la Ligue and two Trophée des Champions.[7] Blanc (2015, 2016) and Emery (2018), along with Carlo Ancelotti (2013), are the only PSG managers to have won the Ligue 1 Manager of the Season award.[8]

PSG legends Luis Fernández, Ricardo and Joël Bats were also successful managers.[7] In fact, Fernández won five trophies with Paris, being only behind Laurent Blanc and Unai Emery. He led the capital club to the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, Coupe de France, Coupe de la Ligue, UEFA Intertoto Cup and the Trophée des Champions during two separate spells at the Parc des Princes.[9] He also holds the club record for most games managed, with 244. Ricardo, for his part, guided PSG to the domestic cup double in 1998 (Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue).[7]
