List of Paris Saint-Germain FC managers
Paris Saint-Germain FC have had 32 managers, 18 of whom have won at least one trophy.[1][2] Former Spanish player Luis Enrique is the current manager. He has been in charge since July 2023.[3] Pierre Phelipon, appointed in August 1970, was PSG's first manager. He was also one of two player-managers in the club's history, the other being Jean-Michel Larqué.[4][5] Phelipon guided the Parisians to their first trophy, the Ligue 2 title, in 1971.[4]
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. During their brief spells, Alain Giresse and Guy Lacombe won 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, including the UEFA Champions League in 2025 and the UEFA Super Cup in the same year. Unai Emery's seven trophies complete the podium. He is closely followed by Thomas Tuchel, with six.[3] Tuchel also led PSG to their first Champions League final in 2020.[2][3]
Former PSG players Luis Fernandez, Ricardo, Mauricio Pochettino, Vahid Halilhodžić, Antoine Kombouaré and Paul Le Guen all enjoyed varying degrees of success as managers.[3] Fernandez won five trophies in two separate spells, including the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996 and the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2001.[3][6] He 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 won the Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue in 1998.[3][7] Under Pochettino, the club achieved its tenth league title. Halilhodžić and Kombouaré each won one Coupe de France, while Le Guen claimed a Coupe de la Ligue.[3]

Footnotes
- ^ 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]
