A look at German managers in the Premier League

His side’s battle with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City has defined the recent years of the Premier League and this season’s highest scorers are currently third favourites in our Premier League winner odds to lift the title in May.

Daniel Farke

49 matches, won 6, drew 8, lost 35; win percentage 12.2

Klopp’s success brought attention to his former assistants at Dortmund, with Farke following ex-United States international David Wagner to England.

He twice took Norwich into the top flight but was unable to sustain his success once they got there, finishing bottom of the 2019-20 table with just 21 points and leaving them in the same position this term when he was sacked despite sealing a first win of the campaign at Brentford the same day.

Norwich have since turned to former Aston Villa manager Dean Smith in a bid to stave off relegation.

Jan Siewert

15 matches, won 1, drew 2, lost 12; win percentage 6.7

Wagner’s successor at Huddersfield saw out the 2018-19 relegation season in a spell memorable less for its sole win, against Wolves, and five points than for the comical misunderstanding that saw lookalike Terriers fan “Martin from Wakefield” mistaken for the new boss upon his arrival.

Thomas Tuchel

34 matches, won 21, drawn 8, lost 5; win percentage 61.8

The only German manager to so far rival Klopp’s success and another off the Dortmund production line via a spell at Paris St Germain.

Tuchel succeeded Frank Lampard in January and the immediate improvements he made – particularly to the Blues’ defensive record – yielded the Champions League and an FA Cup final appearance within five months.

They are third in the Premier League, a point behind Liverpool and two adrift of leaders Manchester City in the bid for further silverware.

What about Rangnick?

Rangnick joins Tuchel and Klopp in arriving into one of the ‘big six’ clubs, with those two managers having combined for 166 wins from 265 games – compared to 10 from 76 for managers at other clubs.

United will be hoping that pattern holds true if they are to bridge the five-point gap to the Champions League places and the Red Devils are 8/11 for a top-four finish.

Although set to move upstairs at Old Trafford at the end of the season, it is 5/2 for Rangnick to still be in the dugout at the beginning of next season while Mauricio Pochettino is 7/4 favourite to swap Paris for Manchester.
