When their affable German tactician, J\u00fcrgen Klopp, who turned doubters into believers and ended the club&#8217;s nearly two-decade wait for championship glory, stepped down last summer, many were prepared to give Slot a period of grace, with challenging for the Premier League crown an unexpected goal.<\/p>\n<p>A combination of their attack, spearheaded by league MVP Mohamed Salah, their defence, marshalled by skipper Virgil van Dijk, and midfield engine, gelling seamlessly, coupled with their rivals (bar Arsenal, to an extent) tailing off, meant the Reds now rule the roost. In doing so, Slot, who previously guided Feyenoord to Eredivisie glory, becomes the first Dutch manager to win English football&#8217;s premier competition, and at the first attempt, which puts him in rarefied air. This begs the question: where does he rank among this elite group?<\/p>\n<p>Slot is the seventh to achieve this unprecedented success, but his season is not yet done. So, for now, let&#8217;s take a look at where he currently stands after winning Liverpool their second Premier League crown and record-equalling 20th first-division title.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Most top-flight league titles in English football history:<\/p>\n<p>\u25ce 20 &#8211; Manchester United\u00a0<br \/>\u25c9 20 &#8211; Liverpool\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arne Slot ties it up in his first season in charge. ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VEGtT4GhJ3\">pic.twitter.com\/VEGtT4GhJ3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1916545045764677990?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 27, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Alex Ferguson<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Club:<\/strong> Manchester United<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season:<\/strong> 1992-93<\/li>\n<li><strong>W-D-L:<\/strong> 24-12-6<\/li>\n<li><strong>Points:<\/strong> 84<\/li>\n<li><strong>PPG:<\/strong> 2<\/li>\n<li><strong>Goals F\/A:<\/strong> 67\/31<\/li>\n<li><strong>Win rate:<\/strong> 57.1%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Okay, we&#8217;re being technically correct, which is the best kind of correct, and that&#8217;s why Alex Ferguson is on this list despite having managed Manchester United for six and a half seasons before the Premier League was established.<\/p>\n<p><span>He guided the team to a runners-up position in their final First Division season, although they let the championship slip, allowing Leeds to take advantage. It is worth noting that the inaugural Premier League season, along with the subsequent two, featured four more matches than the current format. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>This campaign also ended United&#8217;s 26-year wait for a league title and marked the beginning of one of the most dominant dynasties in football history.

Unlike many on this list, Claudio Ranieri had prior experience in the Premier League, having spent nearly four years at Chelsea without securing a league title before being succeeded by Jos\u00e9 Mourinho.<\/p>\n<p>After narrowly escaping relegation the previous season, the Foxes appointed Ranieri, a seasoned manager whose recent tenure with the Greek national team had not bolstered his reputation. This decision initially raised scepticism but ultimately proved to be a stroke of genius. Ranieri crafted a team characterised by a solid defensive foundation and rapid counterattacks, propelling players like N&#8217;Golo Kant\u00e9, Riyad Mahrez, and Jamie Vardy into the limelight.<\/p>\n<p>Vardy notably shattered Ruud van Nistelrooy&#8217;s record by scoring in 11 consecutive Premier League matches, contributing 14 goals during that streak.\u00a0 At 64 years and 195 days, Ranieri became the oldest manager to win the Premier League in his debut season, marking one of the most astonishing achievements in football history.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nov 2014: Ranieri sacked by Greece after Faroe Islands defeat<\/p>\n<p>May 2016: Ranieri wins Premier League with Leicester. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/krhPesxrvr\">pic.twitter.com\/krhPesxrvr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/729020094379114496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 7, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Manuel Pellegrini<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Club:<\/strong> Manchester City<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season:<\/strong> 2013-14<\/li>\n<li><strong>W-D-L:<\/strong> 27-5-6<\/li>\n<li><strong>Points:<\/strong> 86<\/li>\n<li><strong>PPG:<\/strong> 2.26<\/li>\n<li><strong>Goals F\/A:<\/strong> 102\/37<\/li>\n<li><strong>Win rate:<\/strong> 71.1%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After finishing as runners-up to Manchester United in the 2012\u201313 season, Manchester City aimed to reinvigorate their championship ambitions by appointing Manuel Pellegrini from M\u00e1laga. Their early performance, however, was marked by inconsistency, as they suffered four league defeats before the end of November. They soon found their rhythm, embarking on a 12-match unbeaten streak that included significant victories against Tottenham (6\u20130) and Arsenal (6\u20133).<\/p>\n<p>The title race against Liverpool became one of the most thrilling in Premier League history, with both teams surpassing the 100-goal mark\u2014an unprecedented achievement in the league. City narrowly secured the title with 102 goals, compared to Liverpool&#8217;s 101. Yaya Tour\u00e9 had a standout season, scoring 20 goals from midfield, a feat previously achieved only by Frank Lampard, while Sergio Ag\u00fcero added another 17 goals.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea, managed by Jos\u00e9 Mourinho, played a crucial role in defeating Liverpool at Anfield, inadvertently aiding City\u2019s title pursuit. City took advantage, winning against Crystal Palace and beginning a five-match winning streak that ultimately led Pellegrini&#8217;s side to their second championship in three years.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Carlo Ancelotti<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Club:<\/strong> Chelsea<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season:<\/strong> 2009-10<\/li>\n<li><strong>W-D-L:<\/strong> 27-5-6<\/li>\n<li><strong>Points:<\/strong> 86<\/li>\n<li><strong>PPG:<\/strong> 2.26<\/li>\n<li><strong>Goals F\/A:<\/strong> 103\/32<\/li>\n<li><strong>Win rate:<\/strong> 71.1%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the summer of 2009, Carlo Ancelotti took the helm at Chelsea, succeeding interim manager Guus Hiddink, who had briefly steered the club following a tumultuous period. His appointment came with the ambitious objective of rejuvenating a squad that had struggled to find its rhythm and consistency following Mourinho&#8217;s exit less than two years earlier. The legendary Italian manager wasted no time in making his mark, implementing a tactical approach that emphasised both attacking flair and defensive solidity. His efforts bore fruit almost immediately, as he guided Chelsea to their third Premier League title, a remarkable achievement that made him the first Italian manager to secure this prestigious honour in English football. He did so by finishing the campaign just one point ahead of their fierce rivals, Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>One of the standout features of their campaign was their offensive prowess. Chelsea set a new record by scoring an astonishing 103 goals in a single Premier League season. Formidable striker Didier Drogba ended the season as the league&#8217;s top scorer, netting an impressive 29 goals. This marked the first time a Chelsea player had reached such heights since the legendary Jimmy Greaves, who scored 41 goals during the 1960\u201361 season. In addition to Drogba&#8217;s contributions, Frank Lampard proved an indispensable asset. The midfield maestro showcased his versatility and goal-scoring ability, contributing 22 goals and 14 assists over the season. Lampard&#8217;s remarkable goal involvement resulted in an impressive average: he was involved in a goal in every match he played, making 36 appearances throughout the season.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-page__title\">Dabble sign-up offer: <b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">Bet \u00a310+ &amp; Receive \u00a310 In Free Bets<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><strong>Not signed up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/dabble-sign-up-offer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dabble<\/a> yet?
