Georges Peyroche managed PSG for three years and seven months, making him their longest-serving manager. [1] [2] He led Paris to back-to-back Coupe de France wins in 1982 and 1983, the club's first major titles. In 1986, Gérard Houllier became the first manager to crown PSG champions of France. Since then, Artur Jorge, Carlo Ancelotti, Laurent Blanc, Unai Emery, Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, Christophe Galtier and Luis Enrique have all added league titles. Galtier also won a Trophée des Champions during his brief spell. Alain Giresse and Guy Lacombe were other short-term managers to win trophies, collecting a Trophée des Champions and a Coupe de France respectively. [3]

Laurent Blanc is the club's most successful manager in terms of trophies won, with eleven. In his three seasons in charge, PSG won three Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France, three Coupe de la Ligue, and three Trophée des Champions. Luis Enrique is in second place, with eight trophies, having won two league titles, two Coupe de France, two Trophée des Champions and two European titles: the UEFA Champions League in 2025 and the UEFA Super Cup that same year. Unai Emery completes the podium with one league title, two Coupe de France, two Coupe de la Ligue and two Trophée des Champions, for a total of seven trophies. Close behind is Thomas Tuchel, with six. He claimed two league titles, one Coupe de France, one Coupe de la Ligue and two Trophée des Champions. [3] Most notably, he led PSG to their first Champions League final in 2020, narrowly losing to Bayern Munich. [2] [3]

Former PSG players Luis Fernandez, Ricardo, Mauricio Pochettino, Vahid Halilhodžić, Antoine Kombouaré and Paul Le Guen also enjoyed varying levels of success as managers. [3] Fernandez won five trophies in two separate spells at the Parc des Princes. He led PSG to two European titles – the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996 and the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2001 – as well as the Coupe de France, the Coupe de la Ligue and the Trophée des Champions in 1995. [3] [6] Fernandez also holds the club record for most matches managed, with 244. [3] Ricardo lost two European finals, the 1996 UEFA Super Cup and the 1997 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final, but guided PSG to the Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue in 1998. [3] [7] Under Pochettino, the club won a league title, a Coupe de France, and a Trophée des Champions. Finally, Halilhodžić and Kombouaré each won a Coupe de France, while Le Guen secured a Coupe de la Ligue. [3]

Footnotes

  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. [2] [8]
