Germany is one of the, if not the European footballing powerhouse ever since international football became a thing. Franz Beckenbauer, Michael Ballack, Gerd Muller, and Manuel Nueur are just some of the most famous names from Deutschland in the past several decades.
But apart from the personnel on the pitch, Germany has given us several top quality managers as well, and many of them have taken the course to manage in the Premier League. So, here is a list of all the 6 German managers in Premier League history, including the three active right now.
German managers in Premier League- Active as of 2022
As we enter the new year and the winter transfer window kicks off, three German managers would be looking to make their mark and help their team to the best possible finish this season. Coincidentally, the trio shares a close bond.
And all three of them are managers of English giants. Ralf Rangnick of Manchester United is the most recent German boss to take charge of a Premier League team, doing so in December once Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick were shown the door.
Thomas Tuchel arrived in January 2021 when Frank Lampard was sacked and has since won the UEFA Champions League with Chelsea. And of course, Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool is the most experienced German manager in the PL right now when it comes to managing an English team, as he arrived in November 2015, replacing Brendan Rodgers.
Premier League German managers- The entire list since 1992
Since the First Division was rebranded as the Premier League three decades ago, just 6 managers from Germany have managed a Premier League club. Apart from the three stalwarts listed above, there are three other names. Felix Magath became the first German manager to manage a PL team when he took over Fulham in 2014.
He was sacked 216 days later. Jan Siewert took charge of Huddersfield Town in January 2019 but was sacked later that year. And Daniel Farke managed Norwich City from 2017 to 2021 as he was recently sacked this season after a shocking showing from the Canaries at the start of the season. Dean Smith is now their new boss, but is undeniable that they are where they are because of Farke, who is a close friend of Klopp too.
