How about the top 5 English PL managers? I've ordered by success

5th - Edward Howe. Didn't win any titles but did well at Bournemouth.

Joint 5th - Sam Allardyce. Kept some crap teams up

Joint 5th - Redknapp. Got a team into the top 4 once I think

Joint 5th - Roy Hodgson. Fulham finished mid table

Joint 5th - Neil Warnock. Was around for a while

Who do you think had the greatest achievement as an English manager in the English Premier League?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an interesting discussion, worth a thread all of it's own. Fwiw, I think it could go something like Fergie, Dalglish, Moyes, Rodgers, Di Matteo, Lampard.

The top 4 is spot on.

5th is a coin flip between Ranieri and Dalglish.

I'm with the OP, I think he's got it right.

Can you really have Fergie, Jose and Pep in there, considering they all bought their league titles as cheque book managers?

Ranieri has the best achievement.

Class of 92 days hello.

The greatest achievement in the history of English football to win all what we did, including a then unprecedented treble, with 6 lads from our academy in the team.

This is why he will always be number one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Greatest achievement in the history of English football is a big shout.

Personally I'd go with Clough taking over a Forest team that finished 16th in the old 2nd division, getting them promoted, winning the league, winning the European Cup, then retaining it. All within 5 years.

Spent a fortune, world record for a GK in Shilton, British transfer record on Francis...

Just wait until Southgate arrives at United next season. He'll put these guys to shame.

Hard to argue with the list. Shame Klopp misses out, not only had he faced the toughest competition, but in many ways he’s better than some other guys. But one PL isn’t enough.

Klopp for Ranieri all day, and I hate Liverpool.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ranieri won the league with lowly Leicester. Klopp FAILED to win the league on several occasions with one of the best team of players ever in the PL. Ending up with only 1, the same as Ranieri's miracle.

Dalglish, Conte, Ancelotti, Pellegrini, Mancini should even be in there ahead of Klopp.

Just recency bias from you.

Maybe if they did a carling cup version he'd make top 5.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Liverpool were the 2nd best team on the planet and were the only side that could go to toe with Peps Man C, losing by just a point a couple of times. Ranieri was dreadful the following season and it was Pearson who had signed the majority of that winning squad.

The ops list is fair and looks right, can’t let recency bias cloud the arguments

Di Matteo was terrible...inherited a team that won a CL & FA Cup...the former was against all odds too beating BM in their own back yard...but within months he was out of a job also failed at Villa & hasn't been near a decent job since.

recognising what he needed...that takes a skill

Three seasons before Leicester won the title was the Hogg-Deeney goal. Let that sink in. Going from despair to winning the premier league in that short amount of time.
I'm still taking Klopp above Ranieri though

Well spotted, I thought I had a solid list there.

Guardiola is top - & it's not close.

They also met in two CL finals & Ferguson got pumped by Guardiola each time.
