2) Alex Ferguson (Manchester United) – 810 Games

Sir Alex Ferguson and Rio Ferdinand

The legendary manager actually took charge of his first United game six years before the start of the Premier League so his position on this list is purely down to the fact that we are only considering the modern era.

Ferguson is unquestionably the greatest manager in the history of English football, winning 13 league titles over a twenty-year period. It’s an era of dominance that no club has replicated before or since.


When you consider he also picked up TWENTY FIVE other trophies during his time at Old Trafford, it is an astonishing achievement.
