FAQ
Manchester City Next manager Betting FAQs
Who Was The First Manchester City Manager
Laurence Furniss (1889-1893) was the first boss and served for just under four years.
Who Is The Longest-Serving Manchester City Manager
Wilf Wild was in charge for fourteen years(1932-1946). He won nearly 45% of his 354 games.
Who Is the Shortest-Serving Manchester City Manager
There were a few caretaker managers, Tony Book, Steve Coppell, Brian Kidd, and Phil Neal, who only served short periods. However, John Benson was appointed permanently in 1983 and may have been given the job full time had results gone better; he only lasted four months.
Which Manchester City Manager Has Won The Most Trophies
Pep Guardiola; the Spanish genius has 10 in total broken down as 5 EPL Titles, 4 League Cups and 1 FA Cup.
His nearest rival is Joe Mercer (1965-1971), who won 1 Title, 1 League Cup and 1 FA Cup and the European Cup Winners Cup.
Which Manchester City Manager Has The Worst Win Percentage
John Benson (1983) took over when John Bond was dismissed. His 17 games in charge only saw his selected team win three times from 17 games (17.65%).
What factors will influence the final decision on who will become the next Manchester City Manager?
After delighting lovers of the beautiful game, Manchester City will look to continue that playing style and philosophy. We suspect that with Pep such a significant presence at the club, his input as to who should replace him will be gratefully received. Had Arteta not moved to Arsenal, he would have been a natural successor, but with him gone, the net will need to be cast wider. The bookies who know a thing or two about football have some big names heading their betting, and it may come down to whether owner Sheikh Mansour ultimately goes with tried and trusted (Allegri, Zidane, Conte) or chooses to usher in a younger candidate (De Zerbi, Kompany).
