5 Premier League managers with the best managerial start record

#3 Craig Shakespeare

AFC Bournemouth v Leicester City - Premier League — Craig Shakespeare was appointed the manager of Leicester City, after the sacking of Claudio Ranieri

The Englishman was appointed as the manager of the Leicester City who were the reigning league champions that time. He had huge boots to fill in, as the previous manager Ranieri had won the league with a modest Foxes squad in the previous season.

But soon after his appointment, he managed to become the record holder for being the English manager to win the most back to back games immediately after taking over a club in the history of the league. He was victorious in the first five games as a Premier League manager, which is the second best in PL history.
