‘Ferguson, I’ve won!’ Klopp ranks second on EPL’s 300-match win list…but who’s first?
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has now played 300 games in the English Premier League (EPL). And he’s got a winning record.
The Reds cruised to a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa in the fourth round of the 2023-24 Premier League season at Anfield in Liverpool, England, on Wednesday. With three wins and a draw, Liverpool has 10 points and sits in third place in the league.
It was Klopp’s 300th Premier League match in charge. In 300 games, Klopp has 188 wins. That’s the second-most wins of all time among managers with 300 games. He has a win percentage of 62.6%, which is an “all-time” pace.
On the day, Liverpool came away with a three-goal victory thanks to a Dominic Soboslav goal, an own goal from Matty Cash, and a Mohamed Salah brace. Salah has been rattled by recent offers from Saudi Arabia. “I have no intention of letting Salah go to Saudi Arabia. It’s not even worth talking about anymore,” Klopp said in his defense.
After 300 Premier League games, only Jose Mourinho has more wins than Klopp. Mourinho, formerly of Chelsea and Manchester United, has 189 wins in his first 300 games. That’s one more win than Klopp.
In third place after Mourinho and Klopp is former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson. Ferguson has 183 wins in his first 300 Premier League games. That’s five wins less than Klopp. In fourth place is former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, with 180 wins in 300 games. In fifth place is Rafael Benitez with 155 wins.
There are no familiar names in the top five. You might expect Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola to be there, but you won’t find him on the list. Guardiola has yet to win 300 games. Guardiola took over as City manager in the summer of 2016 and has now played 270 games. 온라인카지노
Guardiola has won a whopping 201 of his 270 Premier League games since taking over at City. He hasn’t even reached the 300-match threshold, but he’s already surpassed Mourinho (189 wins) and Klopp (188 wins). His winning percentage is also over 74.4%.
Guardiola has 30 more games to go to reach 300. City have 34 Premier League games remaining this season. Unless he resigns or is sacked during the season, Guardiola is on track to reach the 300-match mark.
