In fact, he has more match successes in the league than Rafa Benitez, Sam Allardyce and Mauricio Pochettino COMBINED, with the trio snatching 430 between them.

The Professor has taken three points from 473 games in the top flight, just 55 victories behind Old Trafford icon Sir Alex Ferguson.

The surprise third-placed boss is former Tottenham, Portsmouth and West Ham gaffer Harry Redknapp, who has clinched 236 Prem wins.
