Famous Premier League Managers and Their Cars

The Premier League is the top tier of professional football in England. The league was formed in 1992 as a replacement for the original Football League First Division. To date, there have been 433 managers in charge of the 50 clubs which have played in the Premier League.

We all know that the Premier League managers are at the height of football knowledge, they are the masterminds behind the amazing plays that we see week in and week out on TV.

Arsène Wenger holds the record for most games managed in the Premier League with 828, all with Arsenal, which he managed between 1996 and 2018. The most successful manager in the Premier League is Alex Ferguson, who won 13 titles – more than four times as many as any other manager – with Manchester United between 1993 and 2013.

But are their talent and skill in making excellent decisions for their teams at par with their choices in cars? We took the initiative to find out, and working on this has been an eye-opening experience.

Some of these managers are riding around in style. We are seriously impressed! 

Jurgen Klopp's Vauxhall

Jurgen Klopp has rejuvenated Liverpool FC into one of the powerhouses of world soccer after lifting the Champions League and Premier League in consecutive years. But what does he drive around in?

An Opel (more commonly known in the UK as Vauxhall). Opel and Jurgen Klopp have been working together since August 2012 when the charismatic football manager joined as the company’s brand ambassador.

The fruit of that partnership? A brand new Insignia for Klopp to get to and from the training ground in. 🚙

Pep Guardiola's Bentley

Pep started out as a player for Barcelona and is famous for his teams playing the most attractive football in the world.

Before joining Manchester City, he managed Barcelona & Bayern Munich and has won the Champions League as a manager twice, and as a player once. So, how does such a prestigious manager get around day to day? A Bentley of course. 

However, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows as Pep crashed his Bentley GTX700. We get it Pep, don’t worry. Someone else can do the driving, you do the football management.

Antonio Conte's Nissan

Now we are going from Pep in a £200,000 car to Conte in a £15,000 car, the Nissan Juke. And we think that it’s great that some managers have their feet on the ground.

Antonio Conte has been in and around the Premier League since he started managing Chelsea back in 2016, where he won a Premier League title and the FA Cup. Very impressive. 

Back to cars, and his reason for owning the Nissan Juke? Family practicality. He stated in an interview; “This car is enough for my daughter, for my wife because my wife uses the car to bring my daughter to school and if we want to have a dinner around London we can go.” 

We love that Antonio!

Thomas Tuchel's Kia

From the previous managers of Chelsea to the current manager, let's now see what Thomas Tuchel drives.

Tuchel was appointed as head coach in January, moving to Stamford Bridge following a two-and-a-half-year spell at French champions Paris Saint-Germain where he won four major honours and reached the Champions League final.

And then as soon as he moved to Chelsea, he went one better and actually won the Champions League title.

So what does the best manager in Europe drive at the moment? A Kia Sportage. Similar to Conte,  he chose this car because it has all the comfort and space for everyone in his family! 

Mikel Arteta's Cadillac

Another part of the SUV crew is Mikel Arteta. The Gunners tactician drives an American favourite in a Cadillac Escalade and is often spotted taking trips to and from the training ground in the luxury SUV.

This car truly is a beast, with a V8 engine powering it through the streets of North London. A pretty impressive motor, for a pretty impressive manager.
