1. Sir Alex Ferguson
Sir Alex Ferguson is the most iconic manager in English football and perhaps even the world. He has taken a club that was underperforming and made them one of the biggest clubs in the world. Not only has he achieved multiple Premier League titles with Manchester United, he has won 2 Champions League titles with them, making sure that the club will forever be regarded as one to be feared.
One of the first vows Sir Alex took when he took charge of Manchester United was to, in his own words, knock Liverpool off their perch. With the 19th title win a couple of seasons ago, Sir Alex made his promise come good. His retirement will be one of the saddest things to happen to English football but none can grudge the man the fame he has earned and the plaudits he has received for what has been a truly phenomenal managerial career.

Honourable Mentions
David Moyes has been in charge of Everton for a long time too, bringing stability to the club. Though he has not won anything with the club, he did always keep them perennially close to a potential Champions League spot, achieving it in the 2004-2005 season. However, despite his longevity, he doesn’t have many achievements of note, and so doesn’t make it into the top 5.
