List of Paris Saint-Germain F.C. managers
Paris Saint-Germain Football Club have had 32 managers, of whom 18 have won at least one trophy.[1][2] Spanish coach and former player Luis Enrique is the current manager. He has been in charge since July 2023.[3] Pierre Phelipon, appointed in August 1970, was the club's first manager. He was also one of two player-managers in their history, the other being Jean-Michel Larqué.[4][5] Phelipon guided the Parisians to their maiden trophy, the Ligue 2 title, in 1971.[4]
Georges Peyroche coached PSG for three years and seven months, being their longest-serving manager.[1][2] He led Paris to consecutive French Cup victories in 1982 and 1983, the club's first major titles. In 1986, Gérard Houllier became the first manager to make PSG champions of France. Artur Jorge, Carlo Ancelotti, Laurent Blanc, Unai Emery, Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, Christophe Galtier and Luis Enrique have since added further league titles.[6][7][8][9]
Laurent Blanc is the club's most successful manager in terms of trophies won, with eleven. In his three campaigns on the bench, Paris won the league and league cup double once and the domestic quadruple twice, which translates into three Ligue 1 titles, two French Cups, three French League Cups and three French Super Cups. Next is Unai Emery with one domestic quadruple, one domestic cup double and another super cup, for a total of seven trophies.[6] Thomas Tuchel completes the podium, with six. He clinched the domestic quadruple once in addition to separate league and super cup titles. Most notably, he steered PSG to their first UEFA Champions League final in 2020, narrowly losing to Bayern Munich.[2][10]
Former PSG players Luis Fernández, Ricardo and Mauricio Pochettino also enjoyed different levels of success as managers.[6][7] Fernández won five trophies in two separate spells at the Parc des Princes. He led the Red and Blues to their two European titles, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996 and the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2001, as well as the domestic cup double and the French Super Cup in 1995.[11] He holds the club record for most games managed, with 244.[6] Ricardo lost two European finals, the 1996 UEFA Super Cup and the 1997 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final, but guided PSG to the domestic cup double in 1998.[6][12] Under the helm of Pochettino, the club won its 10th league title, one French Cup and one French Super Cup.[7]

Footnotes
- ^ On November 4, 1978, Paris Saint-Germain visited Monaco for a league match of the 1978–79 season. Manager Pierre Alonzo had surprisingly resigned and his replacement, Velibor Vasović, had not yet arrived. Club president Francis Borelli named the starting lineup that day. This is the only time that PSG have played an official game without a manager on the bench. Paris lost 1–2.[2][13]
