Tom Watson, Liverpool's longest serving manager

The following is a list of Liverpool managers and their major honours from the beginning of the club's official managerial records in 1892 to the present day. As of the start of the 2007–08 season, Liverpool have had 17 full-time managers.

The most successful person to manage Liverpool, is Bob Paisley who won, six Division One championships, five Charity Shields, three Football League Cups, three European Cups, and one UEFA Cup in his nine-year reign as manager. The club's longest-serving manager is Tom Watson, who managed the club from 1896 to 1915, totalling 19 years.

Managerial history

The first Liverpool managers, W. E. Barclay and John McKenna, were appointed in 1892. Barclay acted as secretary-manager, overseeing the administrative side of the club, while McKenna took charge of matters on the field.[1] They left in 1896 and Tom Watson became manager. He went on to win two Division One championships. Watson died in 1915; David Ashworth, was appointed manager when football resumed after the First World War.[2] Ashworth won one league title, however after this success, he left for Oldham Athletic. He was replaced by a Liverpool director; Matt McQueen in February of 1923. McQueen won one league title, but after this success Liverpool won nothing for over twenty years until becoming champions again in 1947 under the stewardship of George Kay. Kay also led Liverpool to the FA Cup Final in 1950, but lost the game 2–0 to Arsenal. The following year he retired due to ill health.[3] The next manager, Don Welsh became the first Liverpool manager to be sacked after leading the club to relegation in 1954. His successor, Phil Taylor, also failed to win a trophy or gain promotion back to the top flight during his reign as boss.

On December 1 1959 Bill Shankly was appointed manager. The following fifteen years produced two league titles, two FA Cups and a first European trophy in the shape of the UEFA Cup.[4] Shankly retired in 1974, to be replaced by his assistant Bob Paisley. During the next nine seasons, Paisley proceeded to win six league titles and three European Cups and he became the most successful manager in the history of the club.[5] When Paisley retired in 1983, Joe Fagan took over, winning a Treble of the League, European Cup and Football League Cup in his first season. On his retirement the following year, Kenny Dalglish became the club's first player-manager. In his first season in charge, Dalglish led the club to a double of the League Championship and the FA Cup.[6] After that first great season, Dalglish led Liverpool to a further two league titles and another FA Cup, but resigned on February 22 1991, claiming he could no longer cope with the pressure of managing the club.[7]

First-team coach Ronnie Moran took charge of team affairs for several weeks before Graeme Souness was named as Dalglish's successor. Under Souness, Liverpool won the FA Cup in 1992, but nothing else. He made way for Roy Evans, who also won just one trophy, the League Cup, before Gérard Houllier was appointed joint manager with Evans in 1998. This arrangement lasted only 18 games before Evans resigned, leaving Houllier — Liverpool's first non-British manager — in sole charge. They won a Treble under Houllier in 2001 consisting of the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup. After a number of bad results in his final season three years later, he was sacked,[8] to be replaced by the present manager, Rafael Benítez.[9]
